Make my recipe bookQuestions
How do I make a family recipe book?
Open Recetario, add the recipes one by one (or bring them in from WhatsApp), pick a title, cover and color, and download the PDF. No design skills needed.
Can I include Grandma’s handwritten recipe cards?
Yes. Take a photo of the card or notebook page and it appears as an image on the page, next to the typed recipe.
Do I need an account?
No. It opens in your phone’s or computer’s browser and that’s it.
Where are the recipes stored?
Only on your device. That’s why it’s worth making a backup now and then (a .zip file) and keeping it in your email or the cloud.
Can I print it?
Yes. It’s an A5 PDF you can print at home or at any print shop.
