I’d LOVE a section for freezer friendly meals! I often do this for loved ones before new babies, sickness, etc so they can heat up and have available whenever. I’m looking for some good ones right now to make and bring for my grandma in a few weeks.

The index is not working for me. Am I doing something wrong? When I click on a category it just goes back to the index.

KT's avatar

The same thing is happening to me!

Caroline Chambers's avatar

Weird... I'm using it right now and it's working for me. Are you using the app or web?

AEK's avatar

It doesn’t work for me on the app.

KT's avatar

I’ve been trying it on the app. Will try again on the web!

Maya Kherani's avatar

The same thing happened to me on the app too. But you can just scroll down instead of clicking on the links if you don't want to use a browser.

Same with me, I want breakfast recipes but clicking on that (which seems to be a link) does nothing but click back to same place

Is there a way to search by a single ingredient (ie napa cabbage)

Caroline Chambers's avatar

Yes! The app doesn't have search, but the browser does. Just go to the homepage of whattocook.substack.com and click the magnifying glass!

I just love that a pitcher of Margs is categorized as a 15 minute meal...because honestly, yes.

Caroline Chambers's avatar

i've been waiting for someone to catch that for a month

Is there was way to search recipes- example- Greek salad?

Caroline Chambers's avatar

also you're on luck re: the greek salad -- this sunday!!

Caroline Chambers's avatar

yes, on the browser there's a magnifying glass you can click to search! there's also the index on the main page. unfortunately there's no search function on the app :(

Julee Henry's avatar

From the main page, the search function doesn’t seem to give any recipe results. But I might be missing something! 🙂 is there a way to search for recipes?

Julee Henry's avatar

Also- when I go to browse the index, it moves me to a browser and out of the app. And thus logs me out. I love your content but am not a Substack UI fan 😕

Do you happen to have an overnight oats recipe? Something good for my active teenager to fuel her all day?

Ali's avatar

I know this comment is super old but was scrolling for fun- I’ve been using this one recently and it works great: https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/overnight-oats/

This TOC is just amazing! To be able to easily access your delicious recipes makes me want yo try them all now. However I do not see a search bar anywhere. I’m currently searching for your Elote Mexican recipe.

Caroline Chambers's avatar

hi mama. when you're on the main page - whattocook.substack.com - there's a microscope icon. you can search for any recipe name or ingredient.

but i actually don't have a WTC elote recipe!

WAYNE CHRISTENSEN's avatar

The list is wonderfully too much for me to take in!

Caroline Chambers's avatar

It is definitely very thorough!!! It's sorted by protein and mood 🥰

ETalbert's avatar

Could I request a category for "What to cook when you're at a swim meet/baseball game"? Easy prep, easy to serve and good at room temp? 😂 Love, a mom on the go tired of chick fil a.

Sarah Blackmon Lips's avatar

I came here hoping for exactly this section! First week of swim team practice and I never want takeout again 🤣🤣

Jenny Cory's avatar

Do you have a "make it ahead" for dinner parties category? Know a lot of your recipes are make ahead-able but would love to see them all in one place!

Grace's avatar

The index isn't working for me. When I click the 15-minute category, it just takes me back to the top of the page. Anyone else?

Caroline Chambers's avatar

Hi Grace! I'm looking into this, but if you scroll to the very bottom (annoying I know!) it's there! xo

Meredith's avatar

The links for stuffed prosciutto pesto chicken aren’t working :( Can that be fixed? I wanted to try it.

Molly from What To Cook's avatar

Thanks for flagging - these have been fixed!

L Wiz's avatar

Love love LOVE the index. Would you ever consider tagging by season? It would be great to browse fall recipes before I head out to the farmer's market, for example. Thank you!

Caroline Chambers's avatar

We are actually working on a seasonal index now!!!

L Wiz's avatar

Of course you are! Thanks for the prompt response!

RainaLewis's avatar

I would LOVE a section for make ahead meals! Things I can prep completely during the day and then just finish off 15 min before dinner. Definitely some overlap with freezer friendly meals here but I still think it merits its own category! 😊
