Recipe websites are where imports go most smoothly. When a page is built with proper recipe formatting, Tradish can read the ingredients and steps directly and fill in almost everything for you. Here is how to bring one in.
From the Add button, choose Paste a link. As the screen puts it: "Drop in any recipe URL from cooking sites, blogs, Notion, even social posts. We'll pull the ingredients and steps automatically."

Before anything saves, you get a live preview of the page with the title, servings, and cook time. This is your chance to confirm Tradish landed on the right recipe. When it looks right, import it and you drop into the review screen to fine tune the details.
The cleanest results come from dedicated recipe sites and blogs that use proper recipe formatting, because Tradish can read the structured recipe data built into the page. Personal blogs, big cooking sites, and recipe databases usually import almost perfectly.
You can paste other kinds of links too, including Notion pages and social posts, though those depend more on how the recipe is written out.
Not every page is a recipe page. Some are round ups, some are stories with the recipe buried in prose, and some hide their content behind a login. When Tradish cannot find recipe data, you will see:
We couldn't find recipe details on that page. Try taking photos of the recipe and importing those instead.
That is usually the fastest fix. Screenshot or photograph the recipe and bring the images in through a scan. See Scanning a recipe card or photo for how that works.
Like every method, a website import ends in the review screen with the title, ingredients, steps, servings, and cook time pre-filled. Look it over, fix anything the page formatted oddly, and choose a cookbook. For the full picture, see How saving works in Tradish.
