Exporting recipes

Your recipes are yours. Spoonfed can export them in portable formats you can back up, move, or read elsewhere. Exporting lives with the rest of your workspace tools on the Manage page.

Two export formats

• Package (zip) — a zip that bundles your recipes as JSON-LD plus the images they reference. You can choose to include your annotations, which makes the package a complete backup of not just the recipes but your notes on them.
• JSON-LD — the bare schema.org/Recipe JSON-LD, without images. This is the portable interchange format that other recipe tools understand.

The round-trip

A package export re-imports cleanly. Because a package carries the recipes and their images together, you can:

• Back up your collection and restore it later,
• Move recipes between households or accounts,

by exporting a package and then bringing it back in through package import. Import de-duplicates, so restoring on top of an existing library won't create copies.

TIP

JSON-LD is the interchange format, not Spoonfed's source of truth — export it when you want your recipes readable by other tools; export a package when you want a faithful backup you can restore.
