Overview

Recipe Maker is divided into ten main sections, which you can open by clicking on the corresponding section in the main menu on the screen. You will find these topics in this Recipe Maker manual.

Search in categories
When you select a category, you can search for recipes within that category. Can’t find something? Clear the category selection to search all recipes.

Create category
In a recipe, click Edit and go to the Name field, where the current category of the dish is listed.

Instead of choosing an existing category, you can enter a new category name yourself. This allows you to easily organize your dishes into your own categories.

– Change the category for the recipes that are displayed.

Once there are no more recipes linked to the category, it will automatically disappear.
