I tried adding a personal recipe and wanted to add lemon zest. I didn't see it in the ingredients and it doesn't let you add something not listed. I added lemons but that is not really true for the recipe. Shouldn't there be lemon zest as an ingredient? Or let me add what I want for personal recipes even if I that limits some searches? Thoughts?

Lemons actually is the correct ingredient to index when a recipe calls for lemon zest. The reason for that is because you need lemons in order to get lemon zest. The same goes for zest (or freshly squeezed juice) of any other citrus fruit. For Personal Recipes, I would recommend making yourself a note in the "Notes" field if you would like to differentiate between fresh juice or fresh zest (or both) when indexing lemons. Hope that helps!

In the UK at least you can now buy frozen lemon zest, for those of us too lazy to zest. So not actually necessary to buy lemons -
just a thought!

Thank you Christine. I see your point. Not how I had thought of it but I can work with it.

You can't add an ingredient not listed? Sounds like a straitjacket to me.
