How to Use the Recipe Notebook
There are lots of ways to use the Recipe Notebook. Create a list of recipes you want to try, share, or just remember. Create a list of your favorite recipes, or the ones you reference again and again! Consider renaming your notebook to make it work for your specific use.
Add New Recipes
- On the web: Just hit + to search the web for recipes from popular sites. Springpad will automatically pull in the photo, ingredient list, instructions and a link back to the original source. Or as you surf the web, use the Springpad browser extension or web clipper to save a recipe you come across on one of your favorite recipe sites or blogs. And if you want to add lots of recipes to this notebook that you’ve already saved, use bulk edit.
- On the go: Use Android Sharing to save a recipe with the Springpad Android app, or use the mobile Safari clipper to save a recipe you find on your iPhone or iPad. You can also save any recipe from anywhere just by emailing it to Springpad.
Organize & Access Your Recipes
- Tags: Use your own custom tags to organize your recipes – tags can be for course, cuisine, special holiday, main ingredient, favorites, or whether you have tried the recipe. Once you add a tag to one recipe it will show up in the navigation of your notebook. To quickly tag more items on the web app, just drag them onto the tag or drag the tag onto them.
- Flag: Use flags however you’d like – mark your most important items, or things you need to follow up on. Then, quickly view only your flagged items by selecting Flagged Stuff in your notebook’s navigation. Similar to tags, you can add flags on the web app with drag/drop.

Sort of. It has, in my mind, a significant defect. Some recipe sites, (allrecipes.com in particular) put “Directions” in a numbered list format. That formatting is lost when they are brought into this Springpad notebook. Keep the formatting, and I’ll like it a lot more.

I love using Springpad for my recipe’s. Most other recipe clippers leave out tons of info or require you to do a lot of cutting and pasting. And I love the new books that they’re released. I can definitely see my self using each one.

Rigo says: Is there a way to add fields into the recipe item?
I see things like “cuisine”, “main ingredient”, and would like one for Nutritional Info.
Patty says: I would like to see a check book regester included.
Eric S says: Great idea for a notebook! I modified this template to include the Board, following an earlier Springpad staff suggestion to use the Board as a weekly meal planner. Also, I switched the start sort to order by name instead of “Added” and the start view to list.
