The short answer

Your family plans in one place

The problem

Favourite recipes are scattered across notes, messages and websites. Next time you cook, a quantity or an important step may be missing.

How Best4Family helps

Open More → Recipes and tap the plus. Enter a title, servings, ingredients and preparation steps. Add times, categories and dietary labels where useful. Save the recipe, then reopen it from the collection to check the details.

How it works

Get organised in a few steps

  1. 01

    Start a recipe

    Open Recipes from More and tap the plus at the bottom right. Enter a clear title and an optional short description.

  2. 02

    Add the basic details

    Enter the original servings, preparation time and cooking time in minutes. Choose a difficulty and suitable categories. To create categories first, use Actions → Manage Categories.

  3. 03

    Enter ingredients and steps

    Scroll to the ingredients and preparation sections. Add each ingredient with its amount and unit, then enter the steps in order. Empty ingredient and step rows are omitted when saving.

  4. 04

    Save and reopen it

    Save using the button at the bottom. Find the title in the collection, open it and expand Ingredients and Preparation. To change it, open Actions → Edit and confirm with Update.

If something looks wrong

A recipe you just saved is missing.

Check the selected family, clear the search and remove active filters with Reset. A recipe without a dietary label may be excluded by that filter.

Less coordination, a clearer view

Bring your family plans together.
