What happens if the original recipe source disappears?
One of the biggest advantages of saving recipes in Honeydew is that your recipe data is completely independent of the original source. If the website, blog, or social media post where you found the recipe is taken down, redesigned, or goes offline entirely, your saved recipe remains safe and intact in your Honeydew account.
What's preserved
- The full recipe content -- title, ingredients, instructions, and cooking times are all saved directly in Honeydew.
- Recipe images -- photos captured when you saved the recipe are stored independently.
- Any personal notes you've added to the recipe.
- Your cookbook assignments, tags, and other organizational data.
What may stop working
The source link attached to the recipe may no longer work if the original page has been removed. Tapping it might lead to a "page not found" error or an unrelated page. This doesn't affect the recipe itself in any way -- it only means you can't visit the original webpage anymore.
This is exactly why saving recipes in Honeydew is better than just bookmarking them. Bookmarks break when websites change, but Honeydew captures the actual recipe content so it's always available to you.
