Collections

Collections are tags for your recipes. Use them to group recipes by meal type, season, mood, or anything else: Favorites, Breakfast, Want to try, 30-Minute Dinners, Holiday Baking. A recipe can belong to as many collections as you want.

Collections are free for everyone, with no cap on how many you can create.

Collections vs. Boxes

Both organize recipes, but they do different jobs:

• Collections are tags. They never combine ingredients, never produce a shopping list, and don't carry servings or quantities. They're for browsing.
• Boxes (Meal Kits) are meal plans. They combine ingredients across recipes into a single shopping list and let you tweak servings per recipe. See Boxes.

If you're trying to remember "where do I keep my pasta recipes?", that's a collection. If you're planning what to eat this week, that's a Box.

Create or rename a collection

Open Profile → Collections. Type a name in the Create new collection row and tap the checkmark, or pick one from the Suggested Collections list (Favorites, Want to try, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert, Snacks, Drinks). Tap the pencil icon next to a collection to rename it.

Add a recipe to a collection

From any recipe's detail screen, tap the tag icon in the header (or Add to Collections in the more menu) and check off the collections you want. Toggle them on and off freely; recipes can be in multiple collections at once.

Filter the library by collection

On the Recipes tab, tap the tag icon in the header to pick one or more collections to filter by. Multiple collections use OR logic: a recipe shows up if it's in any of the selected collections, not only when it's in all of them. From the same menu, Manage Collections jumps you straight to the management screen.

Delete a collection

In Profile → Collections, tap the trash icon next to a collection. The collection is removed but your recipes are not deleted; they just lose that tag.
