Daily SimmerDaily Simmer vs CookBook Recipe Manager
CookBook keeps a well-kept collection tied to a CookBook account. Daily Simmer gives the same recipes a home you can adapt, share, plan from, and take with you whenever you like. Your CookBook export comes along.
What changes in Daily Simmer
- Your recipes stay yours: export the whole library whenever you like, as a Daily Simmer archive or open Schema.org JSON-LD.
- Create a recipe from what is in the fridge, or adapt one you already have, and review every line before you save it.
- Share collections with friends and cook from one Family library at home, with one plan and one shopping list.
- Cooking mode keeps the step large and the screen awake, with timers for every dish and an assistant beside you.
Common questions about switching
What to check before moving your recipe library.
Will I lose my photos or images?
Imports keep recipe images when the export includes them. Review your imported library before removing anything from your previous app.
How long does the import take?
Import time depends on the size and format of your library. You can keep using Daily Simmer while the import runs.
Can I keep using my old app during the switch?
Yes. Importing reads the export file you provide and does not change the library in your previous app. Keep the original export until you have reviewed the imported recipes.
What if some recipes don't import correctly?
Fields differ between export formats. If something looks off, edit the recipe directly or add the missing detail by hand.
Bring your CookBook collection with you
Import your CookBook export with its images, review the recipes, and keep the original backup until your library looks right.
