Organising and searching
All recipes
“All recipes” holds all your own recipes, numbered and in alphabetical order. The letters A–Z jump to a first letter, and the categories at the top show just one kind of recipe.
Four ways to organise
Savour has four ways, used side by side:
- Search: by name, ingredient, component or technique.
- Categories: what a recipe is, such as sauces or pastry. Each recipe has one.
- Folders: how you work, such as by section, menu or season. A recipe can be in several folders.
- Favourites: the recipes you use most.
Cleaning up
After a big import, Clean up removes numbers in front of recipe names and duplicate recipes.
With your team
Only you see your own folders. To share recipes with your brigade, use a kitchen team with its own folders.
Examples
Ideas for a structure are in Recipe folder examples and in the tip Categories and folders.
Search and All recipes
Search
Type a recipe name, an ingredient, a component or a technique in the search bar at the top. You see the matching recipes straight away. That way you also find every recipe that uses beurre noisette.
On your phone
On a phone, tap the magnifying glass at the top to search.
All recipes
“All recipes” shows your recipes numbered and in alphabetical order. The letters A–Z jump to a first letter.
Filtering by category
Your categories are at the top of All recipes. Tap one to see only that kind of recipe.
Back to your place
Open a recipe and go back, and you return to the same place in the list.
Recipes in a kitchen team
In a kitchen team the team has its own library with the team’s recipes, and you search those recipes.
Categories
What a category is
Each recipe has one category, such as sauces, ice cream or garnishes. You filter on it at the top of All recipes, and the menu has “Categories” with all your recipes by kind.
Managing them
Go to My account → Categories, or choose Categories in the menu. “＋ Add category” creates a new one; you can rename or delete a category. The list is personal and is also used when entering and importing recipes.
Default list
“Default list” adds a list suited to professional kitchens in one go. Your own categories stay.
Suggested automatically
With keywords Savour suggests a category based on the recipe name, for example sorbet → Ice cream. See Keywords and suggested categories.
Category or folder
Use categories for what a recipe is, and folders for how you work. More in Categories and folders.
Keywords and suggested categories
Adding keywords
Go to Categories and choose “Keywords” for a category. Enter words that appear in recipe names, for example sorbet, granita and parfait for Ice cream.
For new recipes
If such a word is in the name of a new or imported recipe, Savour picks that category. If the name fits several categories, Savour asks which you mean. On a tie, the longest, most specific word wins, such as “tenderloin” over “loin”.
Suggest categories
“Suggest categories” finds a fitting category for all your recipes at once, based on the keywords. You first see what will change and confirm it yourself.
Tip
Start with the default list, add the words your kitchen uses as keywords and then let Savour suggest. Recipes that fit nowhere keep their category.
Recipe folders
Creating a folder
In the menu under Recipe folders choose “Add recipe folder” and give it a name, for example “Garde manger”, “Lunch menu” or “Christmas”.
Recipes in a folder
Open a folder and choose which recipes belong in it. Or add a recipe to a folder from the recipe itself: choose ⋯ and “Add to folder”. A recipe can be in several folders.
Removing from a folder
Open the recipe from the folder and choose ⋯ “Remove from folder”. The recipe stays in your library.
Menu and order
Choose which folders appear in the menu and drag them into the order that makes sense to you.
Printing a folder
Print a whole folder at once, with cover page, table of contents and each recipe’s number at the bottom of the page. See Printing several recipes.
Only for you
Only you see your own folders. Folders you share with your team are made in a kitchen team.
Favourites
Making a favourite
Open a recipe and choose “Favourite”, or tap the star. Tapping again removes the star.
Opening your favourites
Your favourites are under Favourites in the menu. On a phone you open them with the star at the top.
Favourite or folder
Favourites are handy for the recipes you use a lot right now. For a fixed structure, such as by section, use folders.
Clean up: numbers and duplicates
Where
Go to My account → Clean up. Savour checks for numbers in front of recipe names, such as “12. Veal jus”, and for recipes that appear twice in your library. You always see what will change first.
Removing numbers
If your recipes came from a numbered recipe book, remove the numbers in one go with “Remove numbers”. Savour shows examples first.
Duplicate recipes
Savour looks for copies that are exactly the same: same name, yield, ingredients and method. One of each recipe stays. Folders, favourites and kitchen teams move to the recipe that stays.
Almost the same
Savour does not treat recipes that differ slightly, such as a different quantity, as duplicates. Compare those yourself and delete them with Deleting recipes.
