Sharing recipes?

Is it possible to share a recipe with one of my friends through the app?

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 workaround.
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.
Please see these articles, and search for other helpful articles, on the MFP Help pages...

I too wish you could share recipes through this app. Another way is to make it somewhere else and share a link to the recipe. A good place to do that is livestrong.com I have a bunch of recipes there that I share. And it gives the nutritional information, which is helpful.
See if this link works....

Sharing recipes is the one thing this is missing. When in a group setting with others using the app it is a pain in the Butt to have to type it in separately.
