# Create "Own" Recipe

{% hint style="danger" %}
**CAUTION: Legacy Endpoint!**\
Please refer to the [User's recipe](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/query/mutations/food-log/user-recipe/create-a-user-recipe) documentation for a new and improved way of creating your own recipe for food logging or other purposes.
{% endhint %}

Use the `createOwnRecipe`mutation to create a new "own" recipe for the currently logged user. The purpose of creating a custom recipe is to add food with multiple ingredients to add them to your daily log. 

**Optional:** use *logAfterCreation* to automatically add to the user's log after the item has been created.

{% hint style="info" %}
Created recipes cannot be added to a meal plan.
{% endhint %}
