# How to add notes to a recipe

Published: 2026-02-06 · Last updated: 2026-02-06

Honeydew lets you add personal notes to any recipe. Whether you want to jot down a substitution that worked well, a cooking tip you discovered, or a reminder for next time, notes keep all of your insights right alongside the recipe itself.

## Adding a note

1

**Open the recipe**

Navigate to the recipe you want to annotate and tap to open it.

2

**Tap the notes section**

Scroll to the notes section of the recipe. Tap on it to open the text editor.

3

**Type your note**

Write whatever you'd like to remember -- ingredient swaps, cooking adjustments, serving suggestions, or anything else.

4

**Save**

Tap Save or tap outside the notes area. Your note is now attached to the recipe.

## Things to know about notes

*   Notes are private -- only you can see them. They are not shared when you share a recipe with someone else.
*   You can edit or delete your notes at any time by tapping the notes section again.
*   Notes sync across all your devices, so anything you write on your phone will also appear on your tablet or the web app.

Try adding a quick note after you cook a recipe for the first time. Small details like "reduce salt by half" or "bake 5 minutes longer" can make a big difference the next time around.
