Editing anything
Open the recipe, tap the ellipsis, and choose Edit. Every part of a recipe can be changed — title, photos, ingredients, steps, times, yield and notes. Nothing about an imported recipe is locked because it came from somewhere else.
Ingredients that split oddly
Masterplan separates each ingredient into an amount, a unit and a name, so it can scale servings and sort your shopping by aisle. Unusual phrasing sometimes lands in the wrong box — "a good glug of olive oil" has no number in it, and "2 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour" has two.
Fix these in the edit screen. Getting the name right matters most: it's what the ingredient picture, the aisle grouping and the grocery list all key on. The amount can stay as written text if it isn't a clean number.
Ingredient names from imports are stored in lower case. That's deliberate, because source sites capitalise inconsistently, and it doesn't affect anything you can do with the recipe.
Missing steps, or steps in one block
Some posts write the method as a single paragraph. In the edit screen you can split it into numbered steps — worth doing if you plan to cook from it, since each step then gets its own screen.
The wrong photo, or no photo
Imports take the picture from the post, which isn't always the finished dish. You can replace the cover image or add your own photos when you cook it.
If it's already on your grocery list
Editing a recipe's ingredients after adding it to a list updates that list to match. One thing to know: if you've added the same recipe to two different lists, only the first is updated. Check the second and adjust it by hand.
When it's easier to start over
If an import came through badly enough that fixing it is more work than typing it, delete it and add the recipe by hand — pasting the ingredients in one block splits them into lines automatically. That's often quicker than correcting a dozen mangled rows.
