How to save recipes from Instagram into Brie

1. Open the specific recipe post or reel, rather than the creator’s profile or your Saved collection.
2. Tap Instagram’s paper airplane to open its send menu.
3. Choose Share to… to open the iPhone share sheet, then select Brie.
4. Open Recipes in Brie, then choose Recipe activity from the page menu to see the import progress. A shared link may be queued until you open the app.
5. When the recipe is ready, compare it with the original post before planning or cooking it.

Instagram’s menus can vary by version and post type. If your menu looks different, use the copied-link option below. You are sending the recipe link, rather than connecting Brie to your entire Instagram account.

1. Use Instagram’s sharing options to copy the link to the recipe post or reel.
2. In Brie, open Add a recipe from the Recipes add menu and choose the link option.
3. Paste it into Recipe link, then choose Import recipe.
4. In Recipes, open the page menu and choose Recipe activity to follow the progress, then review the completed recipe.

If the post points to a food blog, you can import the full written recipe instead. Follow our website recipe importing guide for that route.

Check which menu you are in first. The people listed in Instagram’s send menu are Instagram recipients. Share to… opens the separate iPhone share sheet, where apps such as Brie appear.

In the iPhone share sheet, swipe along the app row and choose More. You can use Edit to show available options or add them to Favorites; Apple explains these controls in its sharing-options guide. If Brie is still unavailable, paste the copied link from inside Brie.

A beautiful finished dish is not always a complete recipe. If the creator has not supplied an amount, oven temperature, or important step, check their written recipe or clarification rather than guessing.

• Ingredients: check amounts, units, divided ingredients, and toppings. A spoken “half a cup” should not become a whole cup.
• Directions: check their order and any separate sauce, filling, resting, or chilling instructions.
• Servings: keep the original yield before choosing portions for your dinner.
• Creator and source: keep the original link and recognizable credit, so you can revisit the recipe and its context.

Give the checked recipe a clear title and one useful collection, such as Recipes to try. Our recipe organization guide shows how to keep originals and later variations easy to find.

Give the imported recipe a place in the week using our saved-recipe meal-planning guide. Choose the night, the version, and the portions before shopping.

Once the original is correct, you can make a change for a real reason. For a creamy tomato pasta, try: “Make this higher protein without making the portion much bigger. Keep the sauce creamy.” A proposed adaptation might blend cottage cheese into part of the sauce; review the amounts and preparation, then save the version you want.

Check the chosen version’s estimated macros and choose how many servings you need. The recipe scaling guide covers changing portions without assuming cooking time changes by the same factor.

Put that recipe on your meal plan, check the resulting grocery list against your kitchen, and cook from the saved directions. Explore importing and editing with Brie, or compare recipe apps if you are still choosing where to keep your collection.

First check the link and whether the post still contains an accessible recipe. Private, deleted, or incomplete posts may need a different input. If the creator provides a complete written version, import that page instead.

For recipe information you can access, Brie’s text-and-photo options offer another way to capture it. Include the full ingredients and directions, then check the result. A photo of only the finished dish cannot supply the missing quantities.

If an import is already running, follow its progress before submitting the same link again. If a complete source keeps failing, keep the original URL and describe the problem to Brie support.

The Brie steps follow our iPhone recipe-import and share-extension workflow. Instagram’s menu labels can change, so the copied-link route provides an alternative. This guide does not promise every post will import or a bulk import of your Saved collection.
