Hi There,
It would be a nice feature if I could share my receipes with my wife since we have the same diet plan. Right now I added all of my receipes but I'd like to send them to my wife instead of having to recreate all of them! An idea for you!

You can not share recipes directly with another user.
There is a work around.
User1 creates a Recipe and logs it to a Meal.
User2 opens User1's Diary (shared with public, friends only, or locked with a key)
User2 clicks Quick Tools and copies User1's Meal to his/her Diary.

Unfortunately, the meal doesn't provide the actual recipe!
Just the title that you gave it, and the calorie/nutrition count.0 -
Could you just give them really unusual/unique names that other people wouldn't use so that she can search for them? I agree it would be so much easier if we could share recipes, but that might work in the meantime.0

A user's recipe will only show up in his/her search results. It will not show up in the searches by another user.0
