Create a new recipe

Use the recipe editor when you want to write a recipe from scratch in Qooki.

Start a new recipe

  1. Open Library.
  2. Click Add recipe.
  3. Keep the create flow selected.
  4. Enter a recipe name.
  5. 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

  1. Add the recipe title.
  2. Add an optional description.
  3. Add preparation time, cook time, and servings when those fields are shown in the current step.
  4. Upload a cover image if you want a custom image instead of the placeholder.

Categorize

  1. Pick the main Dish.
  2. Add any relevant Meals, Courses, Cuisine, Seasons, Tags, or Holidays.
  3. Set the recipe Effort level.

Ingredients

  1. Add one ingredient per row.
  2. Fill in amount and unit when you have them.
  3. Leave amount fields empty if the ingredient should not show a quantity.

Steps

  1. Add the cooking instructions in order.
  2. Keep each step focused on one clear action.

Review and publish

  1. Move to Review.
  2. Check the preview for title, servings, ingredients, and steps.
  3. 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.
