# Writing recipes

Add ingredients, steps, times and photos, or paste a whole recipe in one go.

- [Paste & Parse](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/paste-and-parse/): Paste a recipe's text and let Scrumptious fill in the card — with or without AI.
- [Recipe images](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/images/): Choosing the recipe photo, the sizes Scrumptious makes for Google, and fallbacks.
- [Ingredients](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/ingredients/): One ingredient per line — how Scrumptious reads amounts, units and notes, plus ranges, fractions and groups.
- [The recipe editor](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/recipe-editor/): Every field in the recipe editor, where it appears on the card and in Google's recipe data.
- [Courses, cuisines, diets and keywords](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/taxonomies/): Organising recipes by course, cuisine and diet, and adding keywords for search.
- [Nutrition](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/nutrition/): Adding nutrition facts per serving, how they show on the card and in Google.
- [Times and servings](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/times-servings/): Prep, cook and rest times, how total time is worked out, and servings with a unit.
- [Instructions](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/instructions/): One step per line, instruction groups, step photos and how steps show in Google.
- [Recipe gallery](https://scrumptiouswp.com/help/gallery/): Add extra photos to a recipe, shown as a gallery with a tap-to-enlarge lightbox.
