adding more than one recipe from the same URL?   Go to last post Go to last unread

I've been meaning to ask this question for a while, but ... is it possible to add more than one recipe from the same URL to EYB? Because I know that on the web most often, I guess, each recipe has a unique URL. And I have occasionally found a recipe online and clicked on the bookmarklet in order to add it to the database only to have the bookmarklet bring me to the already-existing recipe on EYB. That's great, because, of course, it prevents duplicates from cluttering up the database.


But when I'm on a web page that has multiple recipes on it, does that mean that I'll only ever be able to add one of them to the EYB database, or is there some manual workaround? I guess, for now, I'd better just pick the recipe that most interests me, because I don't know if I would ever be able to add any of the others.

whitewoods - as you surmised, we prevent more than one recipe being added from a URL to stop multiples of the same recipe being added. It's not just clutter, it's also so we have all notes, ratings and photos for a recipe all loaded in one place. But if you ever want recipes added from a URL that has already been added, email us and we will add the other recipe/s for you.
