# How to view the original recipe source

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

Every recipe saved in Honeydew keeps a link back to the original source -- whether that's a food blog, YouTube video, TikTok, or any other website. You can visit the original page anytime to see additional context, photos, or comments the author may have included.

## How to open the original source

1

**Open the recipe**

Navigate to the recipe you want to view and tap on it to open the full recipe screen.

2

**Find the source link**

Look for the source link displayed near the top or bottom of the recipe. It usually shows the website name or URL where the recipe was originally found.

3

**Tap the link**

Tap the source link to open the original webpage or video in your browser. You'll be taken directly to the page where the recipe was published.

If you saved a recipe from a social media post (like Instagram or TikTok), the source link will take you back to the original post so you can revisit the video or read comments.

## What if the source link doesn't work?

Occasionally, the original website may take down a recipe or change its URL. If the source link no longer works, don't worry -- your saved recipe in Honeydew is completely independent. All the ingredients, steps, and details you captured are safely stored in your account regardless of what happens to the original page.
