Recipe template

Updated on October 28, 2026

Keep your family recipes in notes with an address and send the link to whoever asks. Ingredients have checkboxes, so you can check what is already on the counter.

How to use it

  1. Create the note with "Use this template" and replace the sample cake with your recipe.
  2. When cooking, tick the ingredients you have set out.
  3. Attach a photo of the finished dish in the Files tab.
  4. Send the link to whoever asked for the recipe, read-only if you prefer (⋮ menu › Copy read-only link).

Tips

  • A folder like home/recipes, with one note per recipe, becomes the family cookbook.
  • Write down in the notes who taught you the recipe: over time, that is worth as much as the recipe.
  • After cooking, version history keeps the list without the ticks, if you prefer to clear them.

Adapting and keeping recipes

A recipe written your way is more useful than the original. When you test it, note what changed under Notes: less sugar, a different baking time, an ingredient swap that worked. Next time, the note already has the version your family prefers. If you double the recipe, write the new quantities next to the original ones, so you do not have to do the math with flour on your hands.

  • In the recipes folder, search (Ctrl+K) finds recipes by ingredient: type "carrot" and see everything that uses it.
  • Attach a photo of the finished dish in the Files tab: it helps you remember how it should turn out.
  • To send a recipe to someone, use the read-only link (⋮ menu), so nobody changes your version by accident.
  • Keep the method steps short, one per line: in the kitchen, it is easier to find where you left off.
