How to Save Recipes from Google Drive
Consolidate your Google Docs recipes into Minichef for easier access while cooking.
Having recipes scattered across different Google Docs makes meal planning difficult. Your phone screen turns off while you’re reading the doc, and the text isn’t optimized for cooking.
Minichef solves this by giving all your recipes a beautiful, consistent layout.
How it works
You can easily move recipes from Google Docs into Minichef.
- Open the recipe document in the Google Docs app.
- Tap the three dots (menu) in the top right corner.
- Select Share and export, then Send a copy.
- Choose PDF or text format, and select Minichef from the share menu.
- Minichef will read the document and generate a structured recipe.
Troubleshooting
“Minichef can’t read the shared folder link.” Minichef works best when you share the content or a copy of the specific recipe document, rather than just a link to a restricted Google Drive file. Sharing as a PDF export or a screenshot is the most reliable method.
