Turn a reel into a recipe draft.

Family Plates helps create the recipe structure, but you stay in control before it is saved.

  1. Copy the Instagram link

    From Instagram, copy the link for the reel or post that contains the recipe.

  2. Start an import

    In Family Plates, choose the option to import from a link.

  3. Paste the link

    Paste the Instagram URL and let Family Plates create a recipe draft.

  4. Review the draft

    Check the title, image, ingredients, timing, and steps. Adjust anything that needs attention.

  5. Save the recipe

    Once the draft looks right, save it to your recipe library and add it to a meal plan when you are ready.

Note: Imported recipes should be reviewed before saving. Ingredients, amounts, timing, and instructions may need small edits depending on the video.
