Switching from KptnCook?

Unfortunately, KptnCook doesn't offer recipe export (very poor). You can manually copy recipes or start fresh with PlanPlate's 7-day free trial - 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.
