Can I delete all my recipes at once?

I hate to say it, but the recipe tab is worthless without a search option. I now have 4 pages of recipes that I've added and I want to just delete them all. I don't see where you can check the box and then click "delete" like you can on your normal food list. Is there an easier way to delete them all? Thank you.

You can use the search function on mobile. It's a little bit annoying, but often if I want to pull up a certain recipe, I will search for it on mobile, change the serving size by 1 (I weigh in grams), and then it's at the top of my list on a regular web browser.

I also switched to a standard naming convention for all my recipes so I can sort them alphabetically and find what I want. Each gets sorted to a category (e.g. "Chicken" or "Dessert" or "Salad"), then the name of the recipe, then 1g so I know each serving = 1 gram. When I sort alphabetically, all my chicken recipes will be together, etc.

I know that doesn't answer your specific question, but it is how I've made the recipe function more workable for me. I have just edited the recipe names when I reuse them for the ones I created before I standardized how I named them.

Sorry to miss the editing window - but I did this just now for a recipe I'm making tonight and I realized that sorting alphabetically is also only available on mobile.

as penguin said, you can search on your phone.

really, its one of the few times i use the phone app, as I generally prefer the desktop version. I really do wish they would incorporate that feature and sort into the desktop version.
