Can anyone please tell me if there’s a way to edit a recipe after its been saved?

    Yes there is. There are at least two ways on the website.

    Go to recipes. Look at a recipe. Hover your mouse over the name of the recipe. Three choices show up to the right: Edit, Copy, and Remove. Click Edit, and there ya go.

    Second way: click on the name of the recipe, and it will show up. There's now a hyperlink right above the ingredients to edit the recipe.

    On the iOS app, go to a recipe. There's a link on there to edit it.

    I don't have a clue how the Android app works, but I bet a bagel with lox there's at least one way.

    You are most welcome! There's some great tools here on MFP, and some good people too.

    Is it a delicious recipe? Maybe I should try it out.

    Instead of using “recipes”, I enter my recipes as “meals”.

    On IOS you can’t copy a recipe nor can you immediately see the ingredient breakdown unless you click edit.

    I prefer “meals” because it provided an instant list of ingredients, can be copied to tweak (such as tonight’s “XL Bunco Greek Salad” adaptation of a favorite meal. And, when you save a meal to your food log, it shows individual ingredients there, too.

    It’s easier to tweak them there. For example, my husband loathes olives, so he can easily remove the olives from his meal when he copes from my diary. Or, I can easily add peanut butter powder to my usual pancake recipe on the fly when logging my breakfast.

    Plus, if I’m high on carbs, low on protein or whatever, I have a more detailed daily view to see where the problem lies, since I can see individual ingredients instead of a lump sum “Greek salad”.
