Guide
How to use a digital recipe book
Family recipes tend to live on stained cards, in screenshots and in one person's head. A digital recipe book gathers them in one place, along with the stories behind them, before they're lost.
Start with the recipes you'd miss most
Write down five favourites first: the ones people ask for at every holiday.
Fill in each recipe page
Recipe name, who it's from, serves and time, then ingredients, method and the story behind it.
Keep the index up to date
Add each recipe to the index with its category, page and a rating, so it's easy to find later.
Collect recipes to try
Anything you want to try goes on the to-try list. When it's a keeper, give it a full page.
Plan meals from your own book
Weekly meal plans and grocery lists make it easy to cook your favourites through the week.
What to include in a digital recipe book
A recipe book template should be easy to fill in and easy to find things in. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Twelve undated month pages for seasonal menus and special occasions. No weekly or daily calendar pages.
Recipes
Recipe Book
Three recipe index pages, 60 recipe pages with the story behind each, two recipes-to-try lists and a kitchen conversions page.
- Recipe Index · 3 pages
- Recipe · 60 pages
- Recipes to Try · 2 pages
- Kitchen Conversions · 1 page
Meals
Meals
Weekly meal plans, grocery lists and 20 more recipe cards.
- Meal Plan · every week
- Grocery List · every week
- Recipe · 20 pages
Every section can be switched off in the builder, and sections from other planners can be added.
Digital vs printable digital recipe book
A digital recipe book is easy to share with family: send the PDF so everyone has Grandma's recipes, and paste photos of each dish onto its page.
A printed recipe book makes a wonderful gift. Print it on A5 or Half Letter, fill in a few favourites by hand, and add the rest together.

- iPad portrait, iPad landscape, Android portrait, Android landscape, E-ink
- Printable sizes

An example week in a digital recipe book
One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

Milestone for November
Five family recipes written with their stories
This week's actions

Prefer something else? Pick from 13 themes, including dark mode and an e-ink theme, and change the accent colour.
See all themesCan I add photos of the food?
Yes. In GoodNotes and most note apps you can paste photos onto any recipe page. Printed, there's room to glue one in.
Is the recipe index hyperlinked?
The index is a page you fill in with recipe names and page numbers; the side tabs and contents page link to each section. In GoodNotes you can also add your own links from the index to each recipe.
Is there a free digital recipe book?
You can build this digital recipe book and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the digital recipe book?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the digital recipe book on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
Does the AI fill in the digital recipe book for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the digital recipe book?
With the default settings it comes to about 227 pages. That includes 12 month pages, the Recipe Book and Meals pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
