Frequently asked questions
How do I add recipes?
Three ways: paste a link from a recipe website, YouTube, or Instagram; photograph a cookbook page or a handwritten recipe on mobile; or create a recipe from scratch in the editor.
Is Recipe Chest free?
Yes — the Free plan lets you keep up to 60 recipes and try meal plans and shopping lists for 14 days. Paid plans unlock unlimited recipes, AI imports, and image generation.
Can I change recipes after importing them?
Absolutely. Edit anything — ingredients, steps, times, categories — and switch between the original and your personalized version anytime.
Does it adjust ingredient amounts?
Yes. Change the number of servings and every quantity recalculates. You can also display amounts in metric or US units, as fractions or decimals.
How does family sharing work?
Create a family and invite members by email. You can then share recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists, and everyone can save shared recipes into their own collection.
Which devices does it work on?
Recipe Chest runs in your browser and can be installed like an app on your phone or computer. Your data syncs across devices and handles connection drops gracefully.
Which languages are supported?
The app is available in English and Polish, and you can choose which languages your recipes are displayed in.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, anytime, from your profile. Deleting your account permanently removes your data.
How is Recipe Chest different from free recipe apps or bookmark folders?
Recipe Chest closes the loop: save recipes from anywhere, search by ingredient, plan your week, and generate a shared shopping list. Bookmarks and notes apps leave you doing the busywork.
