About CSV imports
If you'd like to bulk import your own curated recipes, you'll need to use our .CSV excel sheet and add all of your recipe information in this format
- Download the attached .CSV file, you'll see an example in row 2.
- Fill in your recipe information (most core fields are included).
- Email the completed file with your account details; we’ll import it for you.
Note: This is an interim method for .CSV import, it currently does not include all fields but has most of them.
