Carolina Cooking Member Guide

This page explains each member tool in plain language. You can return here any time you need a reminder.

Meal Planner

Choose Add recipe under a day and meal, search for a recipe, then choose Use recipe. Previous week and Next week let you plan ahead or revisit an older week. Change replaces a meal; Remove only clears that meal slot, not the recipe. You can also plan from any recipe’s “Add to meal plan” controls. Open a planned recipe to add its ingredients to your shopping list.

Shopping List

Use “Add to Shopping List” on a recipe to copy its ingredients, or add a grocery item yourself. The list groups items by category. Check items while you shop, edit quantities, print the list, and remove checked or unwanted items.

My Favorites

Select “Save Favorite” on any recipe. Saved recipes appear in My Favorites while you are signed in. Selecting the same control again removes it from Favorites.

My Collections

Create a collection with a name such as “Weeknight dinners.” Then open a recipe and save it to that collection. You can rename or delete collections from the My Collections page.

My Profile

Use My Profile to update the display name people see, your email address, optional member details, or your password. Only you and site administrators can see your private account details.

Share a Recipe

Add the recipe details, ingredients, directions, photos, and an optional video link. Your submission stays private until a Carolina Cooking administrator reviews and approves it. Submit only material you wrote yourself or have permission to use.
