We never hold your recipes hostage and you can export your entire recipe book into a .CSV or .TXT file at any time, whether you have a current subscription with Plan to Eat or not. The .txt file is best for personal use, while the .csv is a spreadsheet that's designed to be imported into another program.

Currently, you can only export your recipes from the website version of the program. If you primarily use the app, simply use the same login credentials at plantoeat.com

If you have a current subscription:

  1. Click the Account icon at the top right of your page.
  2. Navigate to My Account. 
  3. Under the Account Status heading choose a recipe download type
  4. Make sure Save File is selected and then click OK.

If your subscription has expired:

  1. Log in to your Plan to Eat account at plantoeat.com
  2. You will be directed to your Account page with a message that your subscription has expired. Click the link at the bottom to Export Your Recipe Book.
  3. Make sure Save File is selected and then click OK.

After your subscription expires, you will not have access to the Plan to Eat interface, only to these export options for your recipes.

Export your recipes to a .csv file format with the goal of using it in your own spreadsheet software or (gasp) other recipe software. A .csv file can be opened in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets. The .csv file is the file format most likely to be compatible with other recipe software if you want to transfer from Plan to Eat elsewhere.

The .csv file is set up as a spreadsheet with each row as a recipe. This spreadsheet contains every piece of recipe information that you put into your Plan to Eat account. The columns are set up as follows:
