I made a pasta sauce that we had for dinner. I have left overs of it and would like to combine the recipe with more ingredients to make it a lasagne.
I cant how ever use a recipe as an ingredient in another recipe

If you want to do variation on the existing recipes created but don’t want to loose the original one then this option should help to copy all ingredients & cooking directions creating a new entry.

Example if I have created a rice salad recipe but want to use quinoa but other ingredients to remain the same. Currently I have to delete rice & add quinoa but it changes my previous entry. With copy function I can create Quinoa salad recipe within seconds else have to keep asking each ingredients and their weight required by taking pictures of the rice salad recipe.

Due to no copy function I have same food with multiple entries as curry 1, curry 2 etc. since not all times I will have same ingredients at home.

Request to help with the above.

Usually people are modifying their recipes by adding something, overall, experimenting. Duplicating, renaming, changing steps is a good option imo.

To be able to add a recipe to a recipe will be great especially for home made sauces to add to a recipe example cheese sauce with lasagne.

it would be nice to create a new recipe starting from the old one without losing it. Having a "save as" option.

Long time waiting for this function. We are always looking to make combinations but are unable to club our own existing recipe to create a new one.

I make a lot of bran muffins. Sometimes I use raisins. Sometimes I use cherries. Sometimes I use chocolate chips. Entering a separate recipe for each of these is so painful in the app. Being able to copy one and then sub out the one ingredient I change would help so much.

Agree

Would be nice to copy a recipe from the recipes section to adapt it with our own quantities or ingredients regarding what we are doing

Would be great if I can duplicate a recipe and edit based on that to keep track of things.

Effectively, It would be nice to be able to copy paste recipes to be able to change just a little bit a recipe.
Which would be the same base but just different on meat, starchy or sauce.
Since it’s such a shame to have to do it all over again.

Use an existing recipe as an ingredient in another recipe.

I prepare a lot of canned food based on products from my own farm. I enter these canned foods as recipes in yazio.
When I at a later stage is making some actual food that I add as a recipe in yazio I might want to add "300g of my own canned tomato sauce" and "20g of my own chili sauce" etc as ingredients to my recipe together with all other ingredients.
