In short

Discover is where you find recipes other people have shared: creator collections at the top (Cook along with creators) and Community recipes below.
Tap Save on any recipe and a copy goes straight into your cookbook. Tap the recipe itself to read it first.
Free accounts can save 5 recipes from Discover, creator pages and shared links; each friend you invite adds 5 more, and Pro has no limit.
To publish one of your own recipes to Discover, share it and choose Publish to Discover Feed.

Discover is the place to find your next dinner when you do not have a link in hand. It gathers recipes from CookEase creators and from home cooks who chose to share theirs, all complete with ingredients, steps and nutrition, and ready to save in one tap.

The Discover page on the website: Cook along with creators with cards for CookEase, thequietwhisk and mumxchef, a Search community recipes box, and the start of Community recipes — Discover on the website: creators at the top, Community recipes below.

Open Discover

Website: choose Discover in the menu on the left (in the bar at the bottom on a phone-sized screen).
iPhone and Android: tap the Discover tab. A brand-new account with no recipes yet opens here first.

What you will find

Cook along with creators: a row of creator cards, each with the creator's photo, how many recipes they have collected and a line about them. Tap one to open their creator page, where you can save their whole collection at once.
Community recipes: recipes shared by other home cooks and by CookEase. Each tile shows who shared it, how many likes it has, the title and the time it takes.
Search: on the website, type in Search community recipes... above the community recipes to filter them by title or description. In the app, tap the magnifying glass at the top of Discover.

Discover in the app: creators first, then community recipes as you scroll.

Save a recipe from Discover

1
Read it first, if you like
Tap a tile to open the full recipe, with its ingredients, steps, nutrition, likes and comments. Tap Save to cookbook there to keep it.
2
Or tap Save right on the tile
The tile flips over to say Saved to your cookbook, with View recipe to open your copy and Keep browsing to carry on. The very first recipe you ever save says Saved! Cook it tonight? and offers the Cooking Assistant.
3
Find it in your cookbook
The recipe is now your own copy. Tiles you have already saved show Saved.

cookeaseapp.com/discover

One tap on Save and the tile flips to confirm it is in your cookbook.

A saved recipe is yours: edit it, scale it, file it in a cookbook or turn it into a shopping list. Changes the original cook makes later do not touch your copy.

How many you can save

Saving from Discover has its own allowance, separate from saving from links. It also covers creator pages and recipes people share with you.

Free accounts start with 5 Discover saves, once (they do not reset each month).
Every friend you invite who joins adds 5 more. See invite friends.
CookEase Pro has no limit. See free and Pro.

Browsing and reading recipes on Discover is always free. When you have no Discover saves left, tapping Save opens a sheet offering Go Pro or Not now. CookEase remembers what you were saving, and once you have room again (after upgrading or inviting a friend) it finishes the save for you, with a note that it is picking up where you left off.

Publish your own recipe to Discover

Made something worth sharing? Any recipe in your cookbook can go on Discover:

Website: in your Cookbook, click Share on the recipe card and choose Publish to Discover Feed.
App: open the recipe, tap ... next to Cooking Assistant, then Share, and choose Publish to Discover Feed.

Published recipes appear in Community recipes with your name, and anyone on CookEase can open them, like them, comment and save a copy. To take one off Discover, open Share again and choose Private Link Only. The full walkthrough is in share a recipe.

Questions people ask

Where do Discover recipes come from?

From CookEase creators, whose collections sit at the top, and from home cooks who chose Publish to Discover Feed when sharing a recipe. CookEase also adds recipes of its own, under the CookEase name.

Does saving a Discover recipe count against my free saves?

Yes, but it has its own allowance, separate from saving from links. Free accounts start with 5 Discover saves; every friend who joins with your invite adds 5, and Pro has no limit. Opening and reading recipes on Discover never counts.

What happens to a recipe after I save it from Discover?

It becomes your own copy in your cookbook. You can edit it, scale it, cook it with the Cooking Assistant or add it to a shopping list. If the person who published it changes theirs later, your copy stays as you saved it.

How do I take my recipe off Discover?

Open Share on the recipe again and choose Private Link Only (on the website, click Change next to Public on Discover first). It leaves the feed, and links you already sent keep working.

Can I like or comment on recipes in the Discover feed?

Tiles show how many likes a recipe has. To like it or read and write comments, open the recipe: the heart and the comments are on its page.
