Hi, please don't open issues to ask questions. This is what discussions are for.

The added benefit when linking foods to a recipe step is that they will be displayed next to the recipe step when in cook mode.

Hi @dvdpearson - This is something that we will be adding to the FAQ which is located here for reference:

https://docs.mealie.io/documentation/getting-started/faq/

As @Kuchenpirat stated, this is so that when you are in Cook Mode it shows you the linked ingredients so when you are on 'step 2' that says 'add ingredients to a medium size bowl', it actually shows you the ingredients you linked to that step.

You can also link the ingredient in more than one step, so if you are mixing it in one step, using it / combining it another, you can have it show in both.
