If you are visiting Mealsafari without logging in you can search for recipes by using free text in the search bar on the front page. This free text search enables you to find recipes by title, username or ingredient.
If you are logged in to a free account you have the option to filter the recipes by ingredients, ingredient groups, language and more.
If you are subscribing to a paid account tier you also have the option to exclude ingredients and ingredient groups.
If your recipe is not yet queued for publishment or published you can delete your recipe by clicking the "Trashcan" icon on the recipe page or for the corresponding recipe in your account and confirm the deletion in the popup.
Published recipes can not be deleted since they may be used by other users.
In order to make recipes and menus easier to find we have made the decision to require titles to be unique when they are published. Please use descriptive titles when creating recipes and menus. If you are creating a variation of a recipe and are reusing parts of the original title you should try to make the difference clear to the reader. For example: if you are remixing "Chocolate cake" and are adding crushed hazelnuts to the recipe you could set the title to "Chocolate cake with crushed hazelnuts" if it is available.
When you want to add a recipe to a menu you can choose to either use a previously created, unpublished menu or to create a new menu.
In order to create a new menu you flip the switch on the add to menu page.
If you are subscribing to a paid account tier you have the possibility to create week menus.
If your menu is not yet queued for publishment or published you can delete your menu by clicking the "Trashcan" icon on the menu page or for the corresponding menu in your account and confirm the deletion in the popup.
Published menus can not be deleted since they may be used by other users.
