How to
Import a recipe into Family Plates.
Paste a recipe link, let Family Plates build a draft, and review the ingredients and steps before saving.

Review the draft
Check the title, image, ingredients, timing, servings, and cooking steps.

Save and plan
Save the finished recipe to your library, then add it to a meal plan when you need it.
Note: Imported recipes should be reviewed before saving. Website formatting can vary, so ingredients, amounts, timing, and instructions may need small edits.
