Web recipe import
Bring in recipes from public URLs, then review the parsed result before saving. Keeping the recipe—not only the bookmark—means your copy remains useful if the original page moves or disappears.
COMPLETE PRODUCT TOUR
More than a place to store recipes.
Your Kitchen Library is built around the whole life of a recipe: bringing it in, finding it later, cooking from it, planning meals, shopping once, sharing appropriately and keeping the collection safe for years.
COLLECT
Bring old and new recipes into one place.
Use the source you already have instead of retyping everything.
Paste text or HTML
Paste a recipe directly when a clean file or URL is not available.
Documents and PDFs
Import text, HTML, RTF, DOCX, legacy DOC and PDF sources.
Scans and images
OCR can extract printed recipe text from scans and images, with a correction step before parsing.
Recipe formats
Move recipes between Your Kitchen Library and widely used recipe tools. Most structured imports have a matching export; exceptions are stated clearly in the compatibility table below.
Review before save
Normal imports open in the familiar recipe editor. Nothing quietly replaces a good recipe behind your back.
IMPORT & EXPORT
Move recipes in—and back out again.
Imports open for review before saving. Export is provided whenever the destination publishes a stable format it can read; an import-only exception is labeled instead of promising a file the other program may reject.

DDR v2 is the recommended lossless format for moving recipes between Your Kitchen Library installations. Copy Me That and Paprika are import-only because they do not publish a compatible writer contract we can responsibly claim.

FIND & ORGANIZE
A growing collection should get easier to use, not harder.
Three search scopes
Search titles, ingredients or full recipe text with live suggestions while you type.
Advanced Search
Combine included and excluded ingredients, category, method, content type, source, time, rating, vegetarian status, Favorites and Want to Try.
Categories
Browse the home library by practical categories and maintain a clear primary category plus valid secondary categories.
Favorites
Keep proven recipes close without changing the recipe itself.
Want to Try
Maintain a separate personal queue for recipes you intend to cook later.
Popular, New & All
Jump directly to frequently favored recipes, recent additions or an alphabetical collection.
COOK
Recipe pages are designed for the kitchen.
Read ingredients and instructions cleanly, scale ingredient quantities, record what happened when you made it, keep the screen awake, print a practical copy or use the same page on a phone or tablet.

PLAN & SHOP
Turn saved recipes into a week of meals and one shopping trip.
My Kitchen connects the recipes you plan to cook with the groceries you actually need.
Weekly meal planner
Plan Sunday through Saturday, with multiple recipes on a day and planned servings for each.
Add from any recipe
Send a recipe directly to the current week's meal plan from its recipe page.
Combined shopping list
When the same recognized ingredient appears in several planned recipes, quantities are combined when it is safe to do so.
On hand vs. buy
Track recipe totals, what you already have, what to buy, units, skip state and pantry state.
Package-aware quantities
Use package information where it is known rather than pretending every ingredient is purchased in exact recipe quantities.
Manual shopping items
Add ordinary grocery items without mixing them invisibly into recipe-derived calculations.
MANAGE
Built for households, families and serious collections.
Multiple users
Guest, Member, Power User, Admin and Owner provide a useful starting point for different kinds of access.
Granular permissions
Permissions control personal features, printing, sharing, import/export, editing, meal planning, administration and more.
Account requests
Choose whether people can request accounts and, when enabled, require email verification before approval.
Admin View
Authorized users can expose management controls when needed and hide them during ordinary browsing.
Site settings
Manage public access, account behavior, owner-editable branding and other site-facing settings through the administration interface.
Site Health
Check installation, mail/configuration and important runtime conditions after setup, upgrades or repairs.
KEEP IT
Your recipes remain portable.
Docker-based deployment, documented backup/restore, native recipe export and release-to-release upgrade tooling are designed to keep the library maintainable rather than trapping it in a service you cannot control.
