Quick answer: Open the Pin, tap Share → More apps… → CookBook, then choose Save to CookBook or Edit recipe. CookBook follows the link behind the Pin and imports the recipe from its original website.
How to import from Pinterest (step-by-step)
- Find a recipe on Pinterest you'd like to import
- Tap the Share button
- Swipe the app icons to the end and tap More apps..
- 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
- Pins usually point to a blog or recipe site - CookBook grabs the full recipe from that page.
- If the link is broken, copy the Pin’s URL and paste it into CookBook’s dashboard; the importer will still try to fetch the recipe.
