Understanding Recipe Collections in Foodzilla

What are Recipe Collections?

Recipe Collections are a powerful organizational tool in Foodzilla that lets you group related recipes together. Think of them as digital recipe boxes where you can store and organize recipes for different purposes. For example, you might create collections for:

• "Healthy Breakfast Ideas"
• "30-Minute Dinner Recipes"
• "High-Protein Meals"
• "Client Favorites"
• "Vegetarian Options"

Creating a New Collection

1. Navigate to the Collections section
2. Click the "New Collection" button in the top-right corner
3. Enter a name for your collection
4. Click "Create" to start adding recipes

Managing Your Collections

You can add recipes to your collection in several ways:

1. From within the collection:
   1. Open the collection
   2. Click "Add Recipe(s)"
   3. Browse and select recipes you want to add
   4. You can select multiple recipes at once!

2. From a recipe view:
   1. Open any recipe
   2. Click "Add to Collection"
