How to bookmark posts & some ideas on save references, recipes, threads for later use

[naf]

On the Hungry Onion site, you can bookmark any post for future references.

The bookmark button is located on the menu bar under each post.

---

To access your bookmarks, click on your avatar on the top right hand corner of the website and click again your name.

You will arrive on a page with another menu, click Activity, the second button on the menu bar.

---

On side menu on the left, look for Bookmarks and click

---

You will see all your bookmark posts here.

Of course, the above just showed how HO bookmark works.

As @Saregama suggests, there are many personal ways you can bookmark posts or recipes for future use.

@Saregama

a couple of ideas:

1. When you read a post on WFD that you want to save or reference later, hit the bookmark below the post - then you can just look through your bookmarks instead of searching the thread
2. If something on WFD “qualifies” as quick & easy, you can link it here - click the link symbol below the post, copy, and come here and paste it - it will create a link to that post on this thread
3. I keep a separate list of ideas for myself - I’m sure others do too. I use Evernote.
4. The search feature here on HO is really good if you have something specific . For eg @ChristinaM asked me about a dish I mentioned on the weekly planning thread - I knew I had posted it at some point - it took a few seconds to filter the search by myself (as poster) and home cooking.

Personally, I prefer a cross platform method that you can access on phone and computer. Evernote is good, but I only use the free account and ramdomly. I use Paprika to keep recipes or just the default app Reminders or Notes from Apple.

I use Apple notes app in case HO is down for maintenance set to sync so its avail on any mobile device I own.

I use the free version of evernote also, for all kinds of things.

Food-related saved notes for me include:

• What’s in my fridge and freezer (great for menu planning or grocery shopping)
• Recipe ideas by ingredient - this is a very simple short list that has a line for each main ingredient (chicken, fish, eggs, lentils, rice, etc) and a list of ideas for each - for when I’m really stumped (Aha! haven’t had Chawanmushi in a while!)
• Recipe links recommended by people (here, irl, on CH, etc)
• Recipes that I’ve made and liked enough to repeat (context for this is that I don’t cook by recipe most of the time) - still have to segment this by course/ingredient
• Baking recipe references, or copied-over recipes for go-tos
• A list of helpful compilation threads (for eg the recent quick & easy, various by-ingredient threads, etc)
