Adding a Recipe Manually

How to create a recipe

1. Open the Recipes tab.
2. Tap + → New Recipe.
3. Fill in the recipe name.
4. Add a photo (optional — see Adding Photos to Recipes).
5. Set cook time and servings if you want.
6. Under Ingredients, tap Add Ingredient and type the name. Grocerly will autocomplete from its 734-ingredient catalog as you type.
   • Set the quantity (e.g., 2) and unit (e.g., cups, grams, tbsp).
   • The blue dot next to an ingredient means it's recognized in the catalog — this enables Smart Sort later.
7. Under Instructions, add each step in order.
8. Add Category tags to help filter and find the recipe later (optional).
9. Tap Save.

Tips

• You can add an ingredient that isn't in the catalog. Just type the full name and save. It will appear without a blue dot, and Smart Sort will place it at the end of its section.
• Quantities can use fractions — the app supports ½, ¼, and ¾.
• Instructions can be as long as you need — each step is its own entry.
