Someone sent you a Tradish recipe. Opening it is the easiest way there is to get a recipe into your library, and it is a little different from every other way to save.
Tap the share.tradishrecipe.app link you were sent. If you have Tradish installed, the app opens to the shared recipe and adds it to your library. The recipe arrives complete: title, story, ingredients, steps, tags, cover photo, any recipe card photos, source, and Nutrition Facts.
If you do not have Tradish yet, the same link still opens in your web browser and shows you the whole recipe, so you can read it and cook from it right away.
Most ways of saving a recipe involve Tradish reading a webpage, a caption, or a photo and turning it into a structured recipe. A shared recipe skips all of that. It was created in Tradish, so it is already in Tradish format. There is nothing to parse and nothing to clean up.
That has one nice side effect: opening a shared recipe does not use any of your imports. Free accounts get a set number of imports each week, but shared recipes never count against that number, no matter how many friends send you links. See Import limits explained for how the count works.
Once the recipe is in your library, it is yours like any other. You can:
Your changes stay on your copy. Editing a recipe someone shared with you does not touch their version. For the full editing form, see Editing a recipe, and for the bigger picture on getting recipes in, see How saving works in Tradish.
Want to pass a recipe along yourself? See Sharing a recipe with someone.
No. A shared recipe is already in Tradish format, so there is no parsing step and it never counts against your weekly imports.
Yes. Once it is in your library it behaves like any recipe you saved yourself. Edit it freely. Your edits stay on your copy and do not change theirs.
That happens when Tradish is not installed. You can still read and cook from the recipe in the browser. Install Tradish and open the link again to add it to your library.
