# Tag and Filter Your Recipes

> Add tags to your recipes to organize and filter your library — create your own or reuse existing ones.

Tags let you label recipes with anything that's meaningful to you — cuisine type, dietary preference, occasion, cooking method, or whatever helps you find what you're looking for. You can add tags when creating a recipe or any time you edit one.

## Add tags to a recipe

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the recipe editor">
    Create a new recipe or open an existing one and tap **Edit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Tags field">
    Scroll to the **Tags** section in the editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a tag">
    Search for an existing tag or type your own, then click **Add**. Your favorite tags also appear as quick-tap chips below the search field — click the **+** on any of them to add it instantly.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You can add up to 10 tags per recipe.
</Note>

## Filter your library by tag

In **My Recipes**, tap the filter icon in the top right corner to open the filter panel. Select a tag from the **Tags** dropdown and tap **Apply**. The active tag appears as a chip below the page title — tap the chip to deselect it and clear the filter. You can also clear it by opening the filter panel and tapping **Clear**.

## Favorite tags

Favorite tags appear as ready-to-tap options when filtering your library and when editing a recipe — so the tags you use most are always one tap away instead of having to search for them.

To set your favorite tags, go to **Account Settings → Favorite Tags** and add the ones you reach for most often.
