Heard a Great Recipe? Here's How to Save It Before You Forget

It happens at the worst moments.

You're at a family dinner and your aunt casually mentions the marinade she's been using for thirty years. Someone at the table says "you should write that down." A few people nod. Nobody writes it down. The conversation moves on.

Two weeks later, you think about it and realize you can't quite remember what she said.

Sound familiar?

Quick Add was built for exactly that moment.

It's a fast-capture feature inside Our Recipe Tree — no full form, no pressure, no "fill in every field before you can save." Just open the app, tap Quick Add, type the name and whatever details you caught, and it's saved.

You can flesh it out later — add the full ingredients, the method, the photos, the story behind it — when you're home and have time.

But the important thing? It's not lost.

When Quick Add comes in handy

• At a potluck, when the person who made that dish tells you what's in it

• At a restaurant when you think I want to recreate this

• At your grandmother's table before she changes the subject

• In the grocery store when you suddenly remember something you wanted to try

Recipes are everywhere. The problem is capturing them before they disappear into the noise.

The best recipe collections aren't built all at once. They're built moment by moment — a dinner here, a conversation there, a memory that surfaces at 10pm when you're not near a kitchen.

Quick Add makes sure none of those moments get away.

Start your free collection and never lose a recipe idea again.
