Paprika allows you to organize recipes into categories to make them easier to manage.
Note
Each cookbook has its own set of categories.
To edit a recipe's categories, navigate into the recipe and tap the button in order to edit the recipe. From here, press the row to access the recipe's categories. You can check one (or more) categories to associate with the recipe. Press the button when you are done.
Paprika can suggest categories for a recipe based on its name, ingredients, and directions.
Choose Categories.Suggest Categories) at the top. Paprika checks up to five categories, using your existing categories where they fit.To drop the suggestions, tap instead. Closing Choose Categories while Paprika is still suggesting stops it.
Suggestions can include categories you don't have yet. To use only your existing categories, turn off Suggest New Categories in the Recipes group of the Settings panel.
Suggesting categories needs a Paprika account as well as Premium, and its use is limited. If you're not logged in, Paprika asks you to sign up or log in first.
From the main recipes screen, press the button in the toolbar to reveal the categories list. From here, press to add a new category.
Note
On tablets, press the button in the categories pane's toolbar.
Optional To create a subcategory, press and choose the parent category of the subcategory you would like to create. This allows the creation of hierarchies; for example, "Breakfast" might contain "Eggs" and "Baked Goods" as separate subcategories.
To edit or delete a category, tap and hold over the category until buttons appear next to the names of the categories.
From there you can press either the button to edit the category name, or, in this state, delete one or more categories by selecting them and then pressing the button in the toolbar.
There are a number of built-in categories. These categories cannot be removed and provide special ways to view your recipes:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| All Recipes | Lists all of the recipes in your collection in alphabetical order. |
| Most Recent | Sorts your recipes by the date they were added, with the most recent recipes near the top. |
| Top Rated | Lists all of the recipes in order from highest star rating to lowest. |
| Favorites | Lists all recipes that you have added to your favorites. |
| Uncategorized | Lists all of the recipes that have not been assigned to a category. |
| Trash | Lists all of the recipes that have been deleted. Emptying the trash will permanently delete these recipes. |
