How to change the recipe list layout

COOKmate lets you choose how your recipe list looks: large photos, a single column of pictures, a detailed list, or just the titles. You can change it in two ways: from the menu at the top of your recipe list, or from Settings.

Option 1: From the recipe list (fastest)

  1. On the My Recipes screen, tap ⋮ (More options) at the top right.
  2. Tap View.
  3. Choose a layout: Gallery, Gallery – One column, List or List – Show only title.

Step 1: tap ⋮.

Step 2: tap View.
View menu with the four layouts
Step 3: pick a layout.

The recipe list refreshes right away with the new layout.

On a tablet: there is more room in the toolbar, so the View icon is shown directly. Tap it, then pick a layout.

Good to know

  • COOKmate remembers your choice: the list opens in the same layout next time.
  • The layout only changes how recipes are displayed. Your recipes, sorting and filters stay the same.
  • You can switch layouts as often as you like.
