How to Add, Reorder, and Delete Recipe Tags

Label recipes with tags like

Tags are quick labels — like #easy, #family, or #meal-prep — that work alongside cookbooks. Use cookbooks for the big groups, and tags for the details that cut across them. You can filter your recipes by tag when you search.

Step 1: Open the Tag Picker

Open a recipe and scroll to the Tags section near the bottom, then tap Edit.

Tap Edit in the Tags section

Step 2: Add or Create Tags

Tap any existing tag to add it to the recipe (tap it again to remove it). To make a new tag, type its name in the search box and tap Create. When you're done, tap Done.

Type a name and tap Create to make a new tag

Each recipe can have up to 30 tags.

Step 3: Reorder or Delete Tags

In the tag picker, tap Edit to manage your tag list:

  • Reorder: drag the handle on the left to move a tag up or down. Your order is used everywhere tags appear, including search filters.
  • Delete: tap the trash icon to delete a tag. It's removed from every recipe that uses it — the recipes themselves aren't affected.
