My recipe doesn't appear in the meal plan search. How do I make it appear?

If you are sure you created your recipe and it doesn’t appear in the meal plan search, most likely you didn’t click “Finish recipe” and it is still pending. Pending recipes don’t appear in the search until they are finished. To make sure, go to the recipes menu and check that the recipe is finished.

This is what pending recipes look like (in this case, Lomo saltado is a pending recipe):

Another reason could be that the filters applied while creating the meal plan don’t include recipes. You can check this by clicking the filters button in the meal plan and making sure “Recipes” is selected.
