Maybe you know this problem: You're standing in the kitchen, wanting to cook something, but somehow the same three dishes keep ending up on your plate? 🙄 At least, that's often how it is for me... The search for new recipes often ends up in a chaos of screenshots, loose notes, or a ton of open tabs on my phone. But that doesn't have to be the case! 👇🏼
With our new blog category "Digital Kitchen with Paperless Life," we're bringing more variety to your menu planning. You'll regularly find new recipes here—and the best part: You can download them directly as Goodnotes files and import them into your digital recipe book. 😍 How exactly does that work? I'll explain it to you step by step!
Your digital recipe book – all your favorite recipes in one place
Let's start with the digital recipe book—the place where you can save all your favorite dishes and where it only takes one click to find the right recipe! 🙌🏼
If you're new to our digital recipe book and wondering what it is, it's basically like a traditional cookbook, only in digital format, which you use on your tablet. But instead of endlessly flipping through the pages as more and more recipes pile up, and then getting desperate to find the right one, it only takes one click to get to the right recipe! 🎉

And with our Goodnotes files, you can easily expand your recipe collection—and that's exactly what I'll show you now! 👇🏼
From blog to recipe book: How to import a Goodnotes file with just a few clicks
Here are the simple step-by-step instructions that will help you fill your digital recipe book with new recipes in just a few minutes. Important: If you use an app other than Goodnotes, you can use the transparent PNG from the Downloads folder instead. Download it and insert it into your note-taking app or recipe book—done. ✨
1. Open blog post with recipe
Go to our website, open the blog and select the recipe you want to include in your digital recipe book.
2. Scroll to the correct place and click on the “Go to recipe” button
In the blog post you will find a button labeled “Go to recipe” – tap it once and you will be taken directly to the file download page. 
3. Download the recipe file 
Click the download button to download the Goodnotes file to your device.
4. Display download 
At the top of your browser you will find the download icon (down arrow) – tap it to view the downloaded file. 
5. Open file in Goodnotes 
Click the arrow in the bar and then select Goodnotes to open the file. Select "Add as new document." 
6. Select the Lasso tool and select the recipe 
Now you need the Lasso Tool, which you can use to circle the entire recipe page. Then, all you have to do is click Copy to copy the entire recipe. 
‼️ But be careful: Make sure all lasso settings are enabled before selecting. Otherwise, images or stickers may not be transferred! 
7. Open the recipe book and navigate to the right place
Launch Goodnotes and open your digital recipe book. Go to the location where you want to insert the new recipe.
8. Insert recipe and create it in the categories 
Once you've reached the correct page in your recipe book, you can easily insert the previously selected page: Long press the screen and select "Insert".
To help you find your recipe quickly later, it's worth choosing a suitable category. If you don't have one yet, you can create a new one using our handy category stickers. 
Recipe download for other note-taking apps
Even if you use a different note-taking app for your digital recipe book, you can download the recipe file directly from our blog and save it there. 😍 How? I'll show you step by step! 👇🏼
1. Scroll down to the recipe button and download the PNG 
Scroll down to the recipe button in the blog post, select it, and then download the transparent PNG in your desired format. 
2. Save transparent PNG in the files and save as photo 
Go to the arrow at the top of the bar and then save the recipe to your files.
3. Insert image into the desired note-taking app 
Now go to your favorite note-taking app, open your digital recipe book, and create a new recipe page. Paste the saved image here and resize it to fit the recipe page. Since it's a transparent PNG, pasting it works just like a sticker!
Customize your recipe just the way you want! Add more ingredients, decorate it with stickers, or add your own picture once you've recreated the dish—there are no limits to your creativity! 😍
