The ultimate electronic recipe book
Like many people, I used to use a recipe box full of recipe cards. It’s like the traditional way of doing things but I found it hard to find recipes when I needed them.
Now in this modern age, we’re able to use our iPad in the kitchen, to watch cooking videos, view recipes online, see reviews, tips, and more.
This digital recipe book is like a mix of the two. I can use it as a recipe box full of my favorite recipes plus it’s so much easier to quickly search and find the right recipe that I’ve saved, rather than ruffling through a box full of mucky recipe cards!
You can take recipes from blogs, and cookbooks, or even create your own.
Suitable for different devices, such as iPad and Android tablets.
I love using this on my iPad with GoodNotes, as it stays in sync with my devices, so I can quickly pull up the grocery list on my iPhone while shopping, meaning I don’t need to have my tablet with me when I’m out and about.

Is there an app for organizing recipes?
If you’re used to using recipe apps such as Big Oven, Paprika App, Cheftap, or Pepperplate then you’ll know that they’re often filled with ads, or paid for by subscription.
You’ll also find that you often need an internet connection simply just to access your stored recipes.
So if you’re wondering if there is an app for writing recipes then why not ask yourself if an app is really what is needed?
If you’re looking for a free version of similar apps, then this digital recipe book has all of the same features, but is completely free and doesn’t need an internet connection!
What is the best app for storing recipes? The answer to that is simple – the best recipe app is no app at all!

How do I save recipes?
To save recipes, simply use the digital recipe cards, where you’ll find 600 card pages in total, which gives you space for 600 recipes in this digital recipe book.
It’s so quick and so simple. With our digital recipe book, saving recipes on an iPad has never been easier!
To save a recipe on each page, simply write down all of the details that you’ll find on any recipe page online or in your favorite cookbook.
Start by writing the recipe title.
Next, list all of the ingredients.
You’ll move on to writing the directions, being as detailed as you need to be, that makes sense to you.
You can add a picture of the recipe. Most food blogs show pictures in a portrait format, as they’re great for Pinterest. So we’ve added a picture placeholder in portrait format so that it’s perfect for them.
You can also add a link to the recipe page online so that you can jump there should you ever want to see more details or watch their recipe-making video if they have one.
There’s space for writing prep time, cooking time, and total time.
We’ve also made space for you to write the serving amount and calories per serving.
Many online recipes have ratings, and difficulty, so you can copy them from the recipe post to the recipe card.
You can even tag each recipe based on diet type, such as vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, low calorie, gluten-free, and low-carb.
Finally, there’s space for notes, which is always handy, as you can write where you found the recipe, such as the food blog name, or anything at all that you think is notable.
Favorite Meal List
The favorite meals section is great for keeping track of the meals that your family loves, so you’ll never be stuck for ideas for what to make. You know how hard it can be to make meals that your kids love!
Now you can keep track of the family’s favorite meals and recipes. It’s like a digital family cookbook customized for your own family.
Kitchen Inventory
Kitchen inventory helps you keep track of the foods that you’ve got in your fridge, freezer, and pantry.
Grocery List
What recipe planner is without a grocery list? A grocery list is an essential part of any organized kitchen.
You can use the built-in grocery lists in conjunction with the kitchen inventory and meal planner, to make planning your grocery shop much easier.
Blank Pages
Use the blank pages for things like keeping tabs on leftover ingredients, so you can quickly see what’s around for future meals.
Recipe Meal Planner
Meal planning is an essential part of any good cook’s toolbox. Planning meals in advance and organizing the recipes and ingredients helps you plan everything from your grocery shopping to timings. You’ll find recipe meal planners designed to help you plan any meal in advance.
Food Journal
The food journal is a great way to keep track of the things you eat and drink each day. You can log anything, from the amount you consumed, the time you ate, and even if you ate alone or in the company of others.
Logging your food with a food journal can also help you or a doctor understand your eating habits.
Kitchen Conversion Chart
The kitchen conversion chart helps make adapting any recipe a breeze! You’ll no longer risk ruining a recipe due to getting the amounts wrong when trying to switch ingredient amounts, or even using alternative ingredients when you’ve run out of the ones that you need.
It’s the perfect handy cheat sheet that helps you be sure of success every time!
Top Tips on Using the Digital Recipe Planner
Favorite Tip: Did you know that you can simply save your favorite recipes directly from any recipe blog and then paste or import them onto the pages within the recipe book?
Doing this is a great time saver as you don’t need to write the recipe out again. To do this, just choose the Print option when viewing a recipe online and save it as a PDF. Then within the digital recipe planner choose the import option, then import the recipe pdf, and add it to a page in the recipe book.
The digital recipe book features 12 sections for different meal types, each section has an index of 50 recipe pages, for a total of 600 pages and recipes.
What is the best way to organize a recipe?
To organize recipes, use the various sections of the planner to list your recipes by meal type. You’ll find 12 sections for the various meal types such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts, and so on.
Within each section, you’ll find a list of up to 50 recipes, numbered 1 to 50, for 50 recipes in total for that specific meal type.
It’s the ultimate recipe manager!
Tip: You can make an unlimited amount of pages and recipes! – see how:
If you need to save more than 600 recipes, then you can easily expand on this by changing the sections from lists of recipes to lists of cuisines.
Create sub-sections for each of your favorite cuisines
Simply use the section index page but rather than writing a recipe, write a meal cuisine type, such as Mexican, Thai, Slow Cooker, Vegan, etc.
This way you’re creating sub-sections. So if you’re in the Dinner section, you’ll see a list with 50 pages. Just simply use the list for each cuisine type instead of a recipe. For example, number 1 could be Mexican, number 2 could be Thai, and so on.
Then when it jumps to the recipe page, in this case, number 1, write down a Mexican recipe, such as Red Chili Chicken Tacos.
Then copy that page within GoodNotes to create a duplicate recipe number 1, and write a different Mexican recipe.
So this means you’ve created a Mexican cuisine type within the Dinner section for number 1 on the list. When you click it it’ll jump to recipe page number 1 within the dinner section, now Mexican.
When you copy that page within GoodNotes, it’ll create a duplicate number 1 page that you can get to just by sliding over to the next page after jumping to number 1. This way you’ll have lots of Mexican recipes within the new sub-section you’ve just created.
