    You will receive an email with a zip file containing all the recipes in a JSON format. Each recipe is downloaded in a separate JSON file. For example, if four recipes are exported, the Zip folder will contain four JSON files.

  2. Download the zip file.

  2. If the Zip file includes files other than the JSON files, the import is rejected.
  3. If the number of recipes in the Zip folder exceeds 20 recipes, the import will fail.
