What Is A Recipe Builder?

A good recipe builder provides a way to select ingredients with nutrition calculated automatically for each ingredient along with the macro distribution per serving.

It should also allow for adding health labels, custom labels, custom foods and cooking directions. Our recipe builder makes creating recipes easy, efficient, and fun.

Creating the perfect recipe for your clients is very important but also time-consuming. Using Foodzilla's recipe builder, not only you will save time, but also have more fun experimenting with different ingredient combinations.

Recipe Builder with Ingredients

With Foodzilla's recipe builder, you can either add your own custom foods/ingredients or use existing foods from our many food databases.

As you add ingredients, the nutrition information is automatically calculated. A 100g measurement is used initially but other measurements such as cups, tablespoon, teaspoon, pinch, and others are available too.

Foodzilla integrates with popular food compositions databases from several countries such as New Zealand (FSANZ), Australia (FSANZ, NUTTAB), the United Kingdom (CoFID), and the United States (USDA). The nutrition information is provided by the Ministry of Health from each respective country. We also provide foods from popular wholefood suppliers. Finally, you can also create your own food database or import foods from a CSV file.

Recipe Diet Labels

Adding cooking steps and tips when creating recipes make it easier for your clients to follow along.

If you would like to link to your recipes blog or a website, you can do so in the "Cooking steps website" field. This is an optional field and is not required to create a custom recipe.

You can also add health and diet labels from our existing selection of labels. Should you need to add your own custom labels, you can do so from the custom labels section.
