Course: Basics & Components

Cuisine / Heritage: American

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe you already love
  • 1 family recipe worth preserving

  1. Request an invitation to Framily Cookbook.
  2. Open your invitation and finish setting up your account.

  4. Add one recipe of your own.
  5. If you have an old recipe card, try Import from Photo.
  6. Connect recipes to the appropriate Family Group.
  7. Mark historical recipes as Family Archive when appropriate.
  8. Mark family-wide favorites as Family Favorite.
  9. Use Want to Make for recipes you'd like to try.
  10. Set your Current Favorites and choose whether to share them.
  11. Add a Cooking Log after you make something.
  12. Come back later and see what the rest of the Framily has added.

Notes

Start small. One recipe is enough.
You do not need a perfect photo or a perfectly written story.
If you have an old handwritten recipe, try importing a photo of it.
If you are not sure whether something belongs in Family Archive, Family Favorite, Want to Make, or Current Favorite, just choose what makes sense now. You can change it later.
The cookbook gets better as more people add different kinds of recipes.

Recipe Story

Recipes are rarely just instructions. They come from people, places, habits, celebrations, handwritten cards, weeknight dinners, and things we learned by watching someone else cook. Framily Cookbook is meant to keep all of that together — not just the ingredients and directions, but who a recipe came from, why it matters, and how it is still being used today.
This “recipe” is a little different. Instead of teaching you how to cook a dish, it shows you how to start building the cookbook with us. Add something you already make, preserve something from the past, save something you want to try, and come back to see what everyone else is contributing.
