How do I turn TikTok recipes into a collection?

Save first, sort weekly

While scrolling, tap save and add recipe videos to a Favourites collection called Recipes to try. That keeps them out of your general saves.

Once a week, pick the ones you actually want to cook and move them into your proper recipe collection. Let the rest go; you cannot cook everything.

Write a recipe card

Watch the video once and write the ingredients with amounts and the steps in short numbered lines. Pause where needed, since recipe videos often move fast.

Add the link and the creator's handle at the top. You keep the instructions you need, and you can always go back to the creator's video to watch the technique.

Cook, rate and adjust

After you make it, add a rating out of five and notes such as less salt, use a smaller pan or doubles well for guests. These notes are what make the collection yours.

Convert measurements to the units you use and note where you buy unusual ingredients. That saves time next time you shop.

Organise for real meals

Group cards by meal type, such as breakfast, quick dinners, baking and snacks, and add tags like budget, vegetarian or 20 minutes. Then you can find a recipe based on how much time you have.

Pick a few favourites each week and turn them into a shopping list. A collection you cook from regularly is worth more than hundreds of saves you never open.
