You might save 500 recipes, but you probably only cook 10 of them on repeat. PlateParrot’s Favorites feature lets you “heart” your go-to meals—like your Sunday pancakes or that quick stir-fry—pinning them to the top of your library for instant access without the scroll.
The “One-Hit Wonder” Clutter
We all do it. We browse food blogs, see a fancy “Truffle Mushroom Risotto,” and save it. Then we see a “12-Hour Smoked Brisket” and save that too. Over time, your digital cookbook grows into a massive library of hundreds of aspirational meals.
But on a chaotic Tuesday night, you don’t want to cook Brisket. You want that simple Pasta recipe you’ve made fifty times. The problem is, that pasta recipe is now buried under layers of fancy dishes you’ll probably never make. You have to search, filter, or scroll past the “aspirational clutter” just to find your daily reality.
A VIP Section for Your Kitchen
PlateParrot separates the “Someday” recipes from the “Everyday” recipes. By marking a recipe as a Favorite, you are giving it VIP status.
Favorites live in their own dedicated space (or right at the top of your lists). When you open the app to plan dinner, you don’t have to wade through the noise. You tap “Favorites” and see the dishes you actually love and cook. It turns your app from a dusty archive into a functional toolkit.
How It Works
It couldn’t be simpler.
- Open any recipe.
- Tap the Heart icon.
- That’s it.
The recipe is now instantly accessible in your “Favorites” tab. You can unfavorite it just as easily if you get tired of it. Use it for your weekly staples, or temporarily favorite recipes you plan to cook for an upcoming holiday so you don’t lose track of them during the planning stress.
FAQ
Is there a limit to how many favorites I can have?
No, but we recommend keeping it curated. If everything is a favorite, nothing is a favorite.
Can I filter my favorites by tags?
Yes. You can view your Favorites and then apply a filter like #Vegetarian to see only your favorite veggie dishes.
