Use the page URL
Copy or share the URL for the recipe page, not just the website homepage. The importer can then look for recipe-specific information such as ingredients, instructions, servings, image and nutrition.
Some websites provide structured recipe data, while others rely on visible page sections. Meal Planner uses generic extraction paths so more recipe websites can be handled without a separate parser for every site.
Review the draft
After import, check that the ingredients and method are in the right places. Remove any extra headings, notes or website text that does not belong in the recipe.
This review keeps your recipe organiser useful. A tidy import is easier to cook from and produces a cleaner shopping list.
Save the source link
Keeping the source URL can be helpful when you want to revisit photos, comments or extra notes on the original page. Meal Planner can store the recipe link alongside the imported recipe.
The saved recipe remains editable even if the original website later changes. That gives you a stable version for your household.
Use imported recipes in the planner
Once saved, imported recipes can be planned like any other meal idea. Add the recipe to a date, adjust servings and send selected ingredients to the shopping list.
This turns website browsing into a practical meal planning workflow rather than a pile of tabs you may never open again.
Common questions
Do all websites import perfectly?
No. Website structures vary, so imports should be reviewed before saving.
Can Meal Planner import nutrition?
