The four kinds of notes
Updated 2026-09-02
ReciLore has four places for notes. They don't overlap:
| Note | Where it lives | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Top of the recipe, under the title | The recipe's own intro / headnote — what the dish is |
| Comment | A separate field in the recipe | Your household's standing notes — "double the garlic", "use the big tin" |
| Step note | Attached to one step | A tip for that exact moment — "don't let it boil" |
| Story memory | The recipe's Story page | A dated entry about a time you cooked it — "made this for Eid 2026" (with photos) |
Description, Comment, and step notes are part of the recipe and change with it. Memories are separate, dated, and can have photos — see Adding a memory.
