Frequently asked questions

Click + Add recipe on your collection page. Paste the URL of any recipe page and Foraged will automatically extract the name, ingredients, instructions, cook time, and a photo. You can review and edit everything before saving.

You can also enter a recipe manually — just leave the URL field blank and fill in the details yourself.

Recipe websites vary wildly in how they structure their content. Foraged tries its best to parse ingredients and instructions, but some sites use unusual layouts that trip up the importer. If a field is empty or wrong after importing, you can edit it directly on the review screen before saving.

We log failed imports to improve the parser over time. If a popular site consistently fails, we prioritise fixing it.
