Recipe Instructions

Edit recipe instructions with live print preview, sectioning, and scalable formatting

Written by Souha Alameddine

🖨️ Real-Time Print Preview

As you edit a recipe's instructions, the preview shows them as written: one column, portrait, at full size.
This means:

  • No guessing how your edits will look

  • Instant visual feedback as you type


🔍 Print Layout

Columns, orientation, and scale are chosen when you export the recipe. See Scale & Print Recipe.


📄 Control Page Breaks

Insert a page break to control exactly where the recipe splits when printed. Click the Page Break button to insert one, then check the right-side print preview to see how the pages will look.

You can delete a page break at any time, or press Ctrl+Z to undo it.

When you export, each page break starts a new page.


🧩 Add Sections to Organize Instructions

Break your instructions into clear, labeled sections:

  1. Click "Add Section"

  2. Name the section (e.g., Prepared day of)

  3. Move relevant instructions into the new section

You can repeat this for as many sections as needed.


🏷️ Tag Ingredients in Instructions

When writing steps that use specific ingredients:

  • Select the text you want to tag then click on +Ingredients and choose the relevant option for the ingredient drop down

  • The ingredients will show up under the section they are tagged in.
