The Recipes database stores all of your recipes. (Here’s how to find it in your template)
Below you’ll find a reference guide for all database templates and properties in the Recipes database. Properties are in alphabetical order.
Copy link to headingDatabase Templates
These are the database templates that can be found in this database. Refer to our guide on working with database templates if you’d like to edit them or create new ones.
Copy link to headingRecipe Template
This simple template creates sections for Ingredients, Instructions, and Notes about the recipe.
Copy link to headingRecipe w/ Shopping List
This template adds all the sections from the Recipe Template, and also adds a filtered view of the Tasks database, showing only tasks with the “Shopping” Context.
Note: I added this view for folks who really want to create grocery lists in Notion, but I personally find it better to reference my recipes in Notion and add grocery items to the stock Reminders app on iOS.
