Keeping the recipes I already pay for

Keeping the recipes I already pay for

I happily pay for a couple of cooking sites. Good recipe developers deserve it. But I still want my favorites in one place, next to Grandma's card and that TikTok noodle dish.

The catch: many subscription pages do not share their recipe publicly, so pasting the link can come back incomplete. That is not a bug, it is the site protecting its work.

Here is what I do instead:

1. Sign in to the site as usual

Open the recipe you already have access to.

2. Take a screenshot of the recipe

Grab the ingredients and steps. Two screenshots is fine if it is long.

3. Upload it with Snap a photo

The app reads the screenshot and builds your Page. Keep the source in the title so the original always gets the credit.

It is a personal copy for my own kitchen, and the recipe still belongs to the people who made it.
