Switching from Honeydew?
Unfortunately, Honeydew doesn't offer recipe export (poor). You can manually copy recipes or start fresh with PlanPlate's 7-day free trial, which gives you plenty of time to rebuild your collection.
PlanPlate lets you export your library as CSV or PDF anytime, and share any recipe via text message.
