Guides
From a link you found to dinner on the table.
Every step of the Tableful workflow, written out: getting a recipe in from wherever you found it, changing it until it fits your week, and then planning, shopping for and cooking it.
Getting recipes in
How to import a recipe from TikTok: the caption becomes an ingredient list you can cook from.
How to import a recipe from Instagram: read on your own phone, because Instagram forbids the alternative.
How to save a recipe from a YouTube video: the recipe lives in the description, under the chapter list.
How to import a recipe from a website: recipe markup where there is any, the page itself where there is not.
How to scan a cookbook page into a recipe: one photo, and how to shoot it so it reads cleanly.
How to save a handwritten family recipe: faded ink, cursive, and what is left blank rather than guessed.
Changing a recipe
How to add protein to a recipe: ask for 50g and get a rewritten recipe, not a suggestion.
How to make a recipe healthier: and how to phrase it so the dish survives.
How to scale a recipe for more or fewer people: what scales by arithmetic and what needs rewriting.
How to cook with what is already in your fridge: list what you have and get a recipe for it.
Nutrition, planning and cooking
How to calculate the calories and macros in a recipe: per serving and per recipe, without logging anything.
How to make a meal plan with a grocery list: a realistic weekly plan connected to the list you shop from.
How to create a grocery list from recipes: repeated ingredients combined and everything grouped by aisle.
How to cook hands-free on iPhone: one step, its ingredients, timers and the Lock Screen.
