- Categorize smartly
Create collections that match your cooking style.

- Use descriptive titles
Create detailed, informative recipe titles. Example: Instead of simply “Roast chicken,” opt for “Roast chicken with herbes de Provence and lemon.” This will let you easily find your recipes and remember what makes each one special.
- Optimize your ingredient lists
Structure your ingredient lists consistently. Example: Group ingredients by type (dairy, vegetables, spices) or by preparation step. This will make your recipes easier to read and your shopping lists easier to put together.
- Add photos and videos
Add visuals to your recipes for more inspiration. Example: Take a photo of your successful dish or add a link to a tutorial video. Octave makes it easy to attach media to your recipes, making your recipe book more lively and inspiring.
- Sync with your meal planner
Link your recipes to your Octave meal planner. Example: By building your favourite recipes into your weekly planning, you greatly simplify putting together your shopping lists and organizing your meals. Octave automatically connects your recipes with your planner.
