Lists: collections and classes

A list is a group of things you've gathered: recipes, tips, links, stories, whatever you want in one place. There are two kinds.

A Collection is a set of favorites in any order, and most of the time that's the one you want. Use it for the recipes you keep coming back to, everything you want to cook this month, or the dishes you make when people come over.

A Class is a path someone follows start to finish, where the order carries meaning. Use it when each recipe builds on the one before it.

There are two ways to start. If you already know what the list is for, press ADD and choose List, give it a name, then go browse. Every time you find something you want in there, press Save on it and tick your list.

You can also start a new list from that same Save box, so if you're partway through browsing when you think of one, you don't have to leave the page.

You can give a list a description so people know what they're looking at, a cover image, tags, and a playlist. Skip the cover image and we'll use the first photo from what's inside.

You also decide whether a list is public. Public lists can be found by other members. Private ones stay yours, so you can plan the menu for a surprise party or hoard 50 recipes for anchovies on toast, and it'll be your secret.
