Export your recipes as CookBook files

If you are moving recipes from one CookBook account to another, first export them from the account that currently holds the recipes.

1. Sign in to the CookBook account that holds the recipes.
2. Tap Side menu ☰ → Settings → Backup / Export recipes.
3. Choose CookBook files.
4. Wait for CookBook to generate a .zip file, then save or email it to yourself.

Import a .cookbook ZIP file yourself

You can import up to 250 recipes per ZIP file yourself.

1. In CookBook, tap Add (+).
2. Under Your recipes, tap Bulk import recipes.
3. CookBook will apply a specific tag to all recipes in the import, so you can easily find or delete them if something goes wrong.
4. Tap the Tag with field if you’d like to edit the tag name.
5. Turn Add tags on or off, depending on whether you want to include or exclude tags from the recipe file.
6. Tap Select .cookbook ZIP file.
7. Choose your ZIP file and follow the prompts to import your recipes.

Delete all recipes from an import tag

If something goes wrong, or you want to remove the imported recipes:

1. Go to Tags.
2. Tap the tag used for the import.
3. Tap the more menu icon (three horizontal dots).
4. Select Delete all recipes in tag.

Files with more than 250 recipes

If your .cookbook ZIP file contains more than 250 recipes, email it to team@cookbookmanager.com instead.

Include:

• Your CookBook email / username for the destination account
• The .zip file as an attachment, or a download link

We’ll queue the import and notify you when everything is in place. Note: you’ll need a Pro subscription for team-handled imports.
