Cooking Journal
Updated
Logging a cook
When you close Cook Mode, Sprig asks How did it go? You can also log a cook at any time from a recipe with More > Log a Cook, or the Log a cook button in the recipe's Journal section.
An entry takes a few seconds:
- a star rating
- a note for next time, like "needed more salt, kids loved it"
- a photo of how it turned out
- how many servings you made
Tap Save, or Skip if you'd rather not. If the recipe doesn't have a photo yet, the one you add becomes its photo.
On the recipe page
Each recipe has a Journal section showing:
- how many times you've cooked it, your average rating and when you last made it
- a short summary of what your notes say, with a suggestion for next time where there is one
- your five most recent entries
Tap one of your entries to edit it or delete it.
The Journal timeline
The Journal section lists everything you've cooked, newest first, grouped by month. The card at the top shows your total cooks, how many different recipes you've made, cooks this month and your average rating. Tap an entry to open its recipe.
- iPad and Mac: click Journal in the sidebar.
- iPhone: open Browse and tap Journal, or tap the journal button at the top of the Library.
How your journal helps
Your ratings and notes feed into other parts of Sprig:
- The meal planner prefers dishes you rated highly, avoids ones you didn't enjoy, and can remind you of fixes from your notes.
- Recent in the Library shows recipes in the order you last cooked them.
- Each recipe keeps count of how many times you've made it.
Private or shared
Journal entries are private by default. When you share a recipe with someone, you can choose to share your journal on that recipe too. See Sharing.
