# Recipes

Save recipes from any recipe site and get just the ingredients and steps, without the life story, plus a cook mode that keeps your screen on.

Planning biryani night? Save the recipe and you get the ingredients and the steps, minus the 2,000 words about the author’s trip to Hyderabad.

## How to save a recipe

- **Paste the link.** Links from Allrecipes, BBC Good Food, Serious Eats, NYT Cooking, Chefkoch, Bon Appétit, Epicurious, Food52, and Budget Bytes become recipes by themselves.
- **Any other recipe site** works too. Most recipe pages describe the recipe for Google, and Savepad reads that. Save the link and the recipe shows up.
- **Email it** from your phone.

Just the recipe, and a cook mode for floury hands.

## What you get

- How many it serves and how long it takes
- The ingredients and the steps, as a clean list
- **Cook mode**: one big step at a time, with **Next step** and **Back**, and your screen stays on so you never touch it with floury hands

If a page doesn’t describe its recipe, it saves as a normal [link](https://savepad.app/docs/links-and-web-pages) with a reading copy, which you can read in [reading mode](https://savepad.app/docs/reading-mode).

It’s also a decent reference if you’re designing a food brand’s site. That’s our excuse and we’re sticking to it.
