MENLO PARK, Calif. – Facebook announced a new feature today. It is called “Family Recipes.” This feature helps people save and share important cooking traditions. Many families worry about losing beloved recipes. This happens when older relatives pass away. Paper cards get lost. Digital files get forgotten. Facebook wants to solve this problem.
The “Family Recipes” tool is simple. People can add recipes directly to Facebook. Users type in ingredients. They add step-by-step instructions. They can also upload photos. Photos show the finished dish. Photos show the cooking process. This makes the recipes clear. Users tag family members in these posts. This shares the recipes instantly. It also creates a permanent record. Recipes live on the user’s profile. Family members can always find them there. They are easy to search later.
Facebook sees this as more than just cooking. It is about preserving family history. Food connects generations. A grandmother’s special cookie recipe matters. An uncle’s famous barbecue sauce matters. These dishes hold memories. Sharing them keeps families connected. This is especially important for families spread far apart. The feature helps bridge distances. Everyone cooks the same dish. It feels like home.
The tool is available now. Users find it in the “What’s on your mind?” section. They click the “…” menu. They select “Family Recipe.” Then they fill in the details. They can share the recipe right away. They can also save it privately. Facebook hopes this feature gets used widely. They want families to save their food stories.

We want people to share these traditions. This keeps family bonds strong for years.” The feature works on mobile apps and desktop.
