It also covers what you may and may not reuse from someone else&rsquo;s site.<\/div>\n<h2>Quick answer<\/h2>\n<p><strong>No. Utsav Recipes cannot import a recipe from a web address. There is no box to paste a food blog URL into, nothing is read from the page, and no fields are filled in for you. To bring a recipe across you add it yourself on the Publish your recipe form &mdash; and you need the right to republish it, which means writing it in your own words or getting permission, crediting the original, and never reusing someone else&rsquo;s photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Before you begin<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>This article explains what is and is not possible. It is a signpost rather than a click-by-click walkthrough &mdash; the guide to filling in the form itself is the one on publishing a recipe.<\/li>\n<li>You need to be signed in. If a sign-in box appears where you expected the recipe form, you are not signed in yet.<\/li>\n<li>You will find the form on the Utsav Recipes menu, or you can go straight to <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/publish-your-recipe\/\">https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/publish-your-recipe\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Have the recipe open in another tab, or printed, so you can work from it.<\/li>\n<li>Check first that you are allowed to republish it. If it is not your own writing, see the credit rules further down before you start.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Is there a paste-a-link box anywhere on the form?<\/h2>\n<p>There is not. The Publish your recipe form asks you for the recipe a piece at a time: the recipe title, a cover image, a short description, the category, cuisine and cooking method, the difficulty, the preparation, cooking and total times, then your ingredients and your directions. Every one of those you type or choose yourself. Nothing on the form accepts a web page address and turns it into a recipe.<\/p>\n<p>The one URL field you will see is <strong>Video URL<\/strong>, and it is optional. It exists so you can show a cooking video alongside your recipe, and it does exactly that &mdash; it puts a video player on the finished recipe page. It does not open the address, it does not read what is on it, and it will not fill in a single other field. Pasting a food blog address there gets you a broken-looking video slot and nothing else.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f8;border-left:4px solid #9aa4b2;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#8505;&#65039; <strong>Note<\/strong><br \/>Some search results and older notes describe a &ldquo;recipe import tool&rdquo; that reads a food blog page and fills the details in automatically. That is a feature of some other recipe sites. It has never been part of Utsav Recipes, so if you are hunting for the button, you can stop looking.<\/div>\n<h2>Is there a bulk import for a whole recipe blog?<\/h2>\n<p>Not one you can run yourself. There is a bulk route for moving an existing recipe library onto the site, but it is a staff job and it works from a prepared spreadsheet file &mdash; a list of recipes with a column for each detail &mdash; never from a list of web addresses. If you are moving a food blog of your own with dozens or hundreds of recipes on it, that is a conversation to have with the Support team rather than something to attempt one recipe at a time. Be ready to show that the recipes are yours.<\/p>\n<p>For anything smaller than that, adding them by hand is genuinely the quicker path.<\/p>\n<h2>So what should you do instead?<\/h2>\n<p>Work from the source and write the recipe out on the form. It is less painful than it sounds, because most of what takes the time is deciding, not typing. Before you open the form, have ready:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A title<\/strong> in your own words &mdash; not necessarily the blog&rsquo;s title.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your own photograph<\/strong> of the finished dish. This is the part most people get wrong; see the credit rules below.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A short description<\/strong> of a line or two &mdash; what the dish is and when you would make it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The category, cuisine and cooking method<\/strong>, and how difficult it is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Timings<\/strong> &mdash; preparation, cooking and total.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ingredients<\/strong>, with amounts and measurements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The method<\/strong>, written as separate steps, in your own words.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you submit it, the recipe goes to the team for review before it appears publicly, so it will not show up on the site the moment you press the button. Approved recipes also earn you points.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you copy a recipe from someone else&rsquo;s blog?<\/h2>\n<p>Partly, and the line matters. A list of ingredients and quantities is a statement of fact, and facts are not owned by anybody &mdash; two cups of flour is two cups of flour whoever wrote it down. The blogger&rsquo;s <strong>written words<\/strong> are a different matter: their method, their headnote, their little asides about their grandmother&rsquo;s pan. Those are theirs, and so are their photographs. Copying and pasting them across is not importing, it is republishing someone else&rsquo;s work, and it is the one thing that will get a recipe rejected or taken down.<\/p>\n<p>The safe version is simple and it is what good cooks do anyway:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cook the dish, then write the method in your own words as you actually made it.<\/li>\n<li>Take your own photograph. Never upload one from the source site.<\/li>\n<li>Credit the original in your description and link to it, so readers can go and see it.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to reproduce the writing itself, ask the author first and keep their reply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rules that govern this are set out in the site&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=3690\">Content Republishing, Attribution &amp; Syndication Terms<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=3688\">Content Guidelines &amp; Moderation Policy<\/a>. If someone believes you have used their work without permission, the route they will take is the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=3692\">Copyright Takedown &amp; Repeat Infringer Policy<\/a> &mdash; worth reading once so you know what is at stake. And because your credit line will point at a site MyMahotsav does not run, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=3389\">Zero Liability for External Content<\/a> policy explains where responsibility for that page sits.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you keep ownership of what you add?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. A recipe you write and submit is published under your name and stays credited to you, and you can edit or remove it from your recipe dashboard afterwards. Adding a recipe does not hand it over to anyone. What you do grant is permission for MyMahotsav to publish and display it on the site, and the exact terms of that are written out in the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=3686\">Author&rsquo;s Contributor Agreement &amp; Content License<\/a>. Read it once before you publish your first recipe.<\/p>\n<p>One thing worth being clear about: this only ever covers work that was yours to give. Submitting a recipe does not make somebody else&rsquo;s writing yours, whatever route it arrived by.<\/p>\n<h2>MyMahotsav does have import tools &mdash; just not for recipes<\/h2>\n<p>If you have seen an import feature elsewhere on MyMahotsav and wondered why recipes do not have one, you are probably thinking of the business listing tools. A listing owner can <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=7038\">import their details from Google Business or social profiles<\/a>, and can <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=7272\">import business details from TripAdvisor<\/a>. Both pull across business information &mdash; address, opening hours, that sort of thing &mdash; for a business listing. Neither touches recipes, and neither will work on a food blog address.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips and best practices<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background:#fff6f1;border-left:4px solid #e0592b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#128161; <strong>Tip<\/strong><br \/>Open the source recipe in a second browser tab or on your phone and keep it beside the form. Working from the original while you type is quicker than copying it into a document first, and it nudges you into rewriting rather than pasting.<\/div>\n<p>Write the method the way you would tell a friend who is standing in your kitchen. That naturally produces your own words, which solves the copyright question, and it usually produces a better recipe than the one you started from &mdash; because you have actually cooked it and you know where the original was vague.<\/p>\n<p>If a dish is not quite yours &mdash; a family recipe you have adapted, a blogger&rsquo;s method you have changed &mdash; say so in the description. Readers like knowing where a recipe came from, and a clear credit line is the single easiest way to stay on the right side of the rules.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#eef8f0;border-left:4px solid #2e9e5b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#127919; <strong>Best practice<\/strong><br \/>Cook the dish before you publish it, photograph your own result, and write the steps from that cook. You end up with an original recipe, a genuine photograph, and nothing to take down later &mdash; and your recipe will pass review first time.<\/div>\n<h2>Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<h3>You cannot find an import button or a box to paste a link into<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> There is not one. Utsav Recipes has no URL import, so no amount of scrolling on the form or in your recipe dashboard will turn one up.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> Add the recipe on the Publish your recipe form instead, using the checklist above so you have everything ready before you start.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> You have been shown a screen that does have an import box on it. It will belong to another part of MyMahotsav &mdash; most likely the business listing tools &mdash; and Support can tell you which, if you send them the address of the page you saw.<\/p>\n<h3>You pasted a blog address into Video URL and nothing was filled in<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Video URL only ever adds a video player to your recipe page. It does not open the address or read anything from it, so it cannot fill in ingredients, timings or steps.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> Clear that field, or replace it with the address of an actual cooking video if you have one, and enter the recipe details yourself.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> You have put in a genuine video address and no player appears on the published recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>You have a whole food blog to move across<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> There is no self-service bulk route. The bulk tool is staff-operated and works from a prepared spreadsheet file, not from a list of web addresses or a blog address.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> Contact the Support team, tell them roughly how many recipes there are and confirm that they are your own work. They will tell you what the file needs to contain.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> The recipes are not yours to move, or you cannot show that they are &mdash; that has to be settled before anything is imported, not after.<\/p>\n<h3>Your recipe has not appeared on the site<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Recipes are reviewed before they go public, so a newly submitted recipe waits in the queue rather than publishing straight away. It is not lost, and it is not something you did wrong.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> Check your recipe dashboard &mdash; it will be listed there while it waits. Give the team a little time to work through the queue.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> It has been several days, or the recipe is not showing in your dashboard at all.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: How do I import a recipe from a URL?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: You cannot. There is no field, button or menu anywhere in Utsav Recipes that accepts a web address and turns it into a recipe. The only way a recipe gets onto the site is by someone filling in the Publish your recipe form.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What gets auto-filled if I paste a link in?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Nothing at all. No title, no ingredients, no timings, no image. The single URL field on the form is Video URL, and it only embeds a video player &mdash; it never reads the page you point it at.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do I keep ownership of a recipe I add this way?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Yes. It is published under your name, stays credited to you, and you can edit or delete it from your recipe dashboard. You grant MyMahotsav permission to publish it on the site, on the terms in the Author&rsquo;s Contributor Agreement &amp; Content License. That only applies to work that was yours to give in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is there a limit on how many recipes I can bring across this way?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: There is no import limit, because there is no import. You can publish as many of your own recipes as you like; each one is submitted individually and each goes through review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Which food blogs or recipe sites are supported?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: None are, in the sense the question usually means. No external site is read by Utsav Recipes, so the source makes no difference &mdash; a big recipe site and a small personal blog are handled exactly the same way, which is to say not at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Could someone on the team import my old blog for me?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Possibly, if there is enough of it to be worth doing. Ask the Support team. The bulk route works from a prepared spreadsheet file rather than from your blog address, and you will need to confirm the recipes are your own work.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-mahi=\"context\">\nAlso asked as: can I import a recipe from a food blog URL, does Utsav Recipes have a recipe import tool, how do I paste a recipe link to fill in a recipe, is there a URL importer for recipes, can I copy a recipe from another website onto Utsav Recipes, how do I move my food blog recipes to MyMahotsav, does pasting a blog address auto-fill the recipe form, what does the Video URL field do, do I keep ownership of a recipe I import, how many recipes can I import from a URL, which recipe sites can Utsav Recipes import from, can an admin bulk import my recipes. Applies to: Utsav Recipes recipe submission, Recipe Creator role. Where to find it: the Utsav Recipes menu, or https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/publish-your-recipe\/ direct. Canonical facts: There is NO URL import in Utsav Recipes and no front-end import control of any kind &#8211; no field, button or menu accepts an external web address and no recipe data is ever fetched from an external page. The only URL field on the member submission form is Video URL, which is optional and only embeds a video player on the finished recipe page; it does not read the page or auto-fill anything. Nothing is auto-filled, ever. The member fills in every field manually: recipe title, cover image, short description, category, cuisine, cooking method, difficulty, preparation time, cooking time, total time, ingredients with amounts and measurements, and directions as separate steps; Video URL and Restricted Diet are optional. There is no nutrition section on the member form. Submitted recipes are held for review before they appear publicly and are visible in the member&#8217;s recipe dashboard while they wait; approved recipes earn points. A bulk route exists for moving an existing recipe library onto the site but it is staff-operated only, is not reachable by members, and works from a prepared spreadsheet file &#8211; never from a web address or a blog address. Because there is no import, there is no import limit and no list of supported sites; the source site makes no difference. Ownership: a submitted recipe is published under the member&#8217;s name and stays credited to them, editable and deletable from their recipe dashboard; the member grants MyMahotsav permission to publish it under the Author&#8217;s Contributor Agreement and Content License. Copyright: ingredient lists and quantities are facts and are not owned, but the source author&#8217;s written method, headnotes and photographs are theirs &#8211; rewrite the method in your own words, take your own photograph, credit and link the original, and ask permission before reproducing any writing. Relevant policies: Content Republishing Attribution and Syndication Terms, Content Guidelines and Moderation Policy, Copyright Takedown and Repeat Infringer Policy, Zero Liability for External Content, Author&#8217;s Contributor Agreement and Content License. Import tools do exist elsewhere on MyMahotsav for business listings &#8211; Google Business or social profiles, and TripAdvisor &#8211; but they import business details for a listing and do not work on recipes or on food blog addresses.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No. Utsav Recipes cannot read a food blog address, so pasting a link imports nothing and fills in nothing \u2014 you add the recipe yourself on the Publish your recipe form.
