Recipe basics: what each field is for
Zavora recipes are designed to be easy to write, easy to cook from, and easy to revisit later.
Common parts of a recipe
- Title
A clear name you’ll recognize later (e.g., “Weeknight Chicken Stir Fry”). - Description / Notes (optional)
Helpful context: why you like it, substitutions, where it came from. - Servings (optional but recommended)
Useful for planning and future scaling. - Ingredients
One ingredient per line works best. Consistent formatting helps later features. - Steps / Instructions
Short, numbered steps make cooking easier. - Tags / Categories (if available in your UI)
Use these to make recipes easier to browse later.
Tips
- Keep titles specific (“Banana Bread (No Mixer)” beats “Banana Bread”).
- Put important timing and temperatures in steps.
- If you cook it often, add a short note like “Double the sauce.”
