Moving from Nextcloud Cookbook to Menu Planner 2

1. Export your recipes from Nextcloud Cookbook

1. In Nextcloud, download your Recipes folder as a .zip file.

2. Open them in Menu Planner 2

1. Get the file onto the device you use Menu Planner 2 on. iCloud Drive, AirDrop or email work on iPhone, iPad and Mac; on Android, save it to Downloads or Google Drive.
2. In Menu Planner 2, open the Kitchen, choose New Recipe, then From Other Recipe Apps. You’ll also find Import Recipes from Other Apps in Settings, under Import & Export.
3. Pick Nextcloud Cookbook in the list, then Choose File, and pick the file you exported. On a Mac, you can also drag the file onto the Menu Planner 2 window.
4. Every recipe in the file is selected, except ones that look like recipes you already have. Choose Import, and they’re in your Kitchen.

What comes across

• Each recipe’s name, its ingredients (with their headings) and its steps
• Photos
• Descriptions
• Prep and cook times
• Servings
• Nutrition
• Where each recipe came from
• Notes
• Categories, as tags. Any tag you don’t have yet is made for you.
• Ratings
• The date each recipe was first saved

Each one comes across when Nextcloud Cookbook’s file has it.

Good to know

• Importing is free, and you don’t need an account.
• Your recipes in Nextcloud Cookbook aren’t changed.
• You can stop the import at any time. The recipes imported so far stay.
• Recipes that look like ones you already have start unselected, so importing the same file twice doesn’t make copies.
