The Galley Recipe Book is a digital, media-rich hub for recipes, SOPs, and
training—purpose-built for professional kitchens.

It replaces static PDFs and binders with a visual, interactive system that helps

How to navigate a recipe book

The Recipe Books Catalog Page can be found within the Recipes Catalog Page under the View Recipe Books button. Inside the catalog, you can find the existing recipe books (or create one, which we will walk through below). 

 

Groups

A recipe book is a folder structure that allows you to organize training and recipe content. Inside each folder, you may organize content into collapsible groups. 

 

Files

Images, documents, and videos can be viewed inside a recipe book. These files are stored at the company level, via the Files Management tab on the Settings page. 

 

Folders

A recipe book is, in essence, a folder structure. Folders allow content to be nested for easy navigability. When inside a nested folder, you can navigate to a parent folder using the breadcrumb at the top of the page. 

 

Recipes

Recipe Books allow your kitchen teams to easily find recipe instructions. Clicking a recipe will open the kitchen-optimized recipe card view, complete with procedure images. Learn more about recipe cards in the article: What is the Recipe Card view?

New recipe books can be created using the + on the Recipe Books catalog page. 

 

Edit Mode

When inside of a recipe book, you can create and edit content by putting the book in Edit Mode via the Actions dropdown.

Add files to a recipe book via the Add Content button. Select the file(s) to add, optionally select a group, and click Add Selected. The available files are stored at the company level, via the Files Management tab on the Settings page.

Recipe books, folders, groups, and content can all be renamed. To rename a recipe book, click the pencil icon next to the recipe book name. To rename a folder, group, or content, click the three dots icon to the right of the name, followed by Rename.
