Getting Started

Welcome to Cookbooker. This guide walks you through creating an account, setting up your profile, and adding your first cookbook.

Create an account

1. Click Sign up in the top navigation bar.
2. Enter your name, email address, and a password.
3. Check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link. (Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive within a few minutes.)
4. Once verified, you're in.

Set up your profile

Your profile is public — other members can see your bookshelf and reviews. To set it up:

1. Click your name in the top navigation and choose Settings.
2. Add a short bio in the About field if you'd like.
3. Set your location, personal website and favorite cookbook and recipe if you desire — these appear on your public profile.
4. Adjust your email notification preferences.

Add your first cookbook

The quickest way to get started is to add a cookbook you own. Head to Add a cookbook in your Bookshelf, search by title, and follow the steps. See Adding a cookbook for the full guide.
