MyRecipes Just Got Even Better—Now You Can Save Recipes From Even More Sites

I am a cookbook person—I have over 800 of them. They line the walls of my home office, but they also sit in stacks next to the bed, on the coffee table, and on the kitchen table. As I flip through them, I mark recipes of interest with rainbow-colored page markers, and I list any recipes I want to make very soon in my phone's notes app.

For a long time, I wished for a service that would do virtually the same thing with all the online recipes I wanted to try, plus the favorites I've made over and over. Then MyRecipes made that easy. I no longer have to search Google for Simply Recipes' outrageously delicious potato chip salad or the Thai cabbage dish from Serious Eats that takes minutes to make and always turns out perfectly. Those recipes live in my MyRecipes collection of weeknight favorites, right where I can easily find them.

Save Recipes From 1,000+ Sites

And now, MyRecipes has finally rolled out a feature that allows me to save even more recipes from 1,000-plus supported sites. All I have to do is copy the URL and paste it into MyRecipes, where I can save it to one of my recipe collections or start a new collection. When I click on the recipe, the link takes me directly to the original site. I can finally close those dozen or so tabs I've kept open for months (let's not even get into how many pages I can remove from my bookmarks)! It's like having a customized cookbook of all my favorite online recipes.

Introducing Featured Collections

But what about recipe inspiration when I just have no idea what I want to cook? MyRecipes has that covered, too. MyRecipes now has featured collections—curated recipe compilations that are occasion or theme-based. So when I'm stumped on what to make for an upcoming holiday brunch with friends, I can just save the existing "Our 40 Best Brunch Recipes" collection on MyRecipes and start building out my menu. And if I want to add recipes that aren't already in that collection, the feature allows me to save more recipes to it, customizing it to my tastes.

With MyRecipes' new features, it feels like I have another cookbook on my overburdened shelves... but one containing all my favorite online recipes plus recipes I want to try. It has simplified my cluttered collection of forever-open tabs and disorganized bookmarks, and now I can actually find the recipes I want to make—and easily save the ones I already love.
