It would be great if it were possible to duplicate recipes to test out swapping ingredients and comparing.

    You can do this on the desktop site, just not the app:

    You can do it on the app (at least the Android app), too, seems like, though the "how" is weird.

    In Recipes, Meals and Foods, click on Recipes.
    Click on the recipe you want to copy.
    In the recipe, click on the 3-dots thingie at upper right, and click Edit there.
    Change the name of the recipe.
    Save.

    Both recipes are then in the recipe list, and can be edited. Quite possibly the recipe ingredients can be edited at the same time as the name edit, but I haven't done that.

    I assume the Apple app is similar or identical, but sometimes there are odd differences between the two. If there's a specific place in the app to copy a recipe by clicking something labeled "copy", I haven't noticed it.
