Seeing Other odd behavior on your recipe?

  • Added an ingredient and the quantity or unit of measure is not updating or its showing the wrong amount you entered?

  • Remove the original and rename the copy to be the original recipe.

Trying to change the ownership of a recipe but it is showing the error "The ownership of this recipe is inherited from the parent recipe and cannot be updated here directly."

  • You can fix this by changing the ownership of the parent recipe. The change will reflect on the sub recipes as well.

  • You can also remove that sub recipe from the parent recipe, update the ownership, then re-add the sub recipe back to the parent.
