Quick answer: On Instagram, tap Share → Share to… → CookBook. Choose Save to CookBook to store it instantly or Edit recipe to tweak tags, notes, or nutrition first. CookBook pulls the recipe from the caption - or follows any link in the post if the caption is empty.
How to import from Instagram (step-by-step)
- Find a recipe on Instagram you'd like to import
- Tap the Share button (bottom left)
- Tap Share to… (iOS) or Share (Android).
- Pick CookBook in the app list.
- Don’t see it? Add CookBook to your share sheet: see iOS Guide and Android Guide.
- Choose:
- Save to CookBook: Saves the recipe immediately without opening the CookBook app.
- Edit recipe: opens CookBook so you can add tags, change servings, or upload photos before saving.
Quick tips
- Caption first: Imports work best when the full recipe is written in the caption or first comment.
- No caption? CookBook looks for a website link in the post and tries to import from there.
- Copy-link fallback: Copy the video URL → open CookBook → tap Paste on the dashboard → Confirm.
