Create a new recipe
Use the recipe editor when you want to write a recipe from scratch in Qooki.
Start a new recipe
- Open Library.
- Click Add recipe.
- Keep the create flow selected.
- Enter a recipe name.
- Click Create recipe.
Fill in the recipe
The editor moves through a guided set of steps. Depending on the active product experiment, some details may appear in slightly different steps, but the core fields stay the same.
Basics
- Add the recipe title.
- Add an optional description.
- Add preparation time, cook time, and servings when those fields are shown in the current step.
- Upload a cover image if you want a custom image instead of the placeholder.
Categorize
- Pick the main Dish.
- Add any relevant Meals, Courses, Cuisine, Seasons, Tags, or Holidays.
- Set the recipe Effort level.
Ingredients
- Add one ingredient per row.
- Fill in amount and unit when you have them.
- Leave amount fields empty if the ingredient should not show a quantity.
Steps
- Add the cooking instructions in order.
- Keep each step focused on one clear action.
Review and publish
- Move to Review.
- Check the preview for title, servings, ingredients, and steps.
- Click Publish when the recipe is ready.
Tips
- Keep taxonomy selections consistent so the recipe is easier to find later.
- Use a clear title before publishing because it affects the recipe URL and the way the recipe appears in lists.
- If you leave the editor and return later through the library, you can continue editing the same draft recipe.
