Recipe and sharing guidelines

Keep credit with the recipe

Publish recipes you created or have permission to publish. Confirm your rights when you publish a menu. A checkbox records your statement; it does not verify ownership.

Imported recipes stay private to your household. On a public menu, imported and reference recipes link to their original source. Keep that source link intact. Importing a page does not give you permission to republish its text or photographs.

Know who can open your menu

Private menu links require household membership and sign-in. Publishing makes a menu available to anyone with its link and lists it on your public profile. Explore is curated separately. You can make a menu private again from its editor.

Shared voting links allow guests to vote without an account. Send them only to intended participants. Only the menu creator sees voting results.

Story images need a separate menu link, such as an Instagram Link sticker. Downloading or sharing an image does not automatically publish it to Instagram.

Check before you shop or cook

Review imported ingredients, quantities, servings, and instructions. A copied menu can contain dishes without connected recipes; connect those before generating a complete grocery list.

Readiness indicators describe missing recipe fields. They do not verify recipe rights, allergens, nutrition, or food safety. Check ingredient labels and suitability for your household.

Share responsibly

Do not post content you lack permission to share, spam, misleading claims, or unsafe material. Clearly identify any sponsorship or affiliate relationship in your menu description.

Use the Report control on a public menu for copyright, unsafe, spam, misleading, or other concerns. Creator profiles also offer report and hide controls. Reporting requires sign-in.

Creator membership and invitations

Creator costs US$4.99 per month or US$39.99 per year. Its badge indicates membership. Creator earnings are not available yet.

Free households can save up to 50 recipes and copy one new menu in a rolling seven-day period. Creator members have unlimited saves and copies. Opening an existing copy does not use another allowance.

Three accepted invitations earn the inviter one 30-day Creator reward, once per account. Invitees must confirm their email; existing accounts can accept. The reward does not start a paid subscription or extend an existing billing period.
