Sharing recipes with friends?

ccu14 · April 2015

Hello -- my husband and I both just started MFP this week. I'm wondering if there is a way to "share" my recipe with him since he is one of my friends once I've entered it and done the calculations so he doesn't have to enter all the same information again? I'd rather not put my recipes into the open database.

Thanks!

You can not share recipes directly with another user, and another user will not find your recipes through a search. Your recipes will be displayed in the search results only when you perform a search.

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.
