Getting started with Gather

This page as markdown

1. Sign in

Open Gather from the daemn front page and sign in. Gather opens for members of a tenant that holds Gather. If your account has no access yet, the page says so, and Ask for access sends the request to your tenant's Owners.

2. Choose your measurements

Pick Metric or US customary. Above the phone size it sits at the end of the top bar; on a phone it is in the You sheet's Settings. If you never choose, Gather uses Metric. Every amount on screen follows your choice.

3. Add your first recipes

Press Add recipes. You can:

  1. Paste a link to a recipe page.
  2. Import a bookmarks export, and tick the folders that hold recipes.
  3. Upload text, HTML, PDF or Word files.
  4. Upload or paste a recipe CSV.
  5. Enter a recipe by hand.

Review what Gather found, then press Bring in or Import. Nothing is saved before that.

4. Finish your drafts

A recipe that is missing something arrives as a draft, and a draft cannot be planned yet. To be ready, a recipe needs a title, a course, a yield, at least one ingredient and at least one step. Open a draft, press Finish draft, fill the gaps and press Save.

5. Plan your week

Open Plan. Choose the days you want to cook, then press Suggest new dinners. Gather picks from your ready recipes. On each day you can change the servings, Swap the dinner, Swap side, or Skip day.

6. Finalize and shop

When every day has a dinner, press Finalize & make shopping list. The list opens with every ingredient for the week, combined. Tick each line as you shop. If you change the plan later, press Reopen plan first.
