How do I add more recipes?
The recipe gadget allows you to add a recipe in two ways. The first way is to manually type in the recipe and the second is to import a recipe that has been sent to you by another person who also has Famoo.
To add a recipe, open up the recipe gadget and click on the “New Recipe” button located on the bottom toolbar. You will then be asked if you want to add a new recipe or import one. If you are going to type in your recipe manually, click on “Add”, if you are importing a recipe sent to you by another Famoo user the click “Import”.
Adding a recipe manually
When you select to add a recipe manually a new window opens with a list of details that need to be entered.
Title – The name of the recipe that you are adding
Author – The name of the person who created the recipe
Time Required – The total time for preparation and cooking
Servings – The number of people that this recipe will feed
Image – You can upload an image of the finished meal if you have one
Ingredients – The ingredients that are required to cook the meal. There are two components to the ingredients; the quantity (ie: 3 tablespoons) and the ingredient’s name. If you want to remove an ingredient click on the “X” next to that ingredient. To add more ingredients, click the “Add Another” button and a new blank ingredient line will appear.
Instructions – In this section you add the method for the recipe. This text box allows you to use standard formatting to allow for easier reading of the recipe.
Once you are happy with the details of the recipe, you can click “Next”.
Categories – You can add the recipe to one or more categories. Click one on any of the categories that you would like to add the recipe to, when selected the category is highlighted in blue. To un-select a category, just click on the category again and it will no longer be highlighted.
You can preview your recipe by clicking on the preview tab at the top of the window or you can simply click “Add Recipe” to add the recipe to the Recipe Gadget.
