+This guide covers storing, organizing, and finding Goose recipes when you need to access them again later. 
+
+:::info Desktop UI vs CLI
+- **Goose Desktop** has a visual Recipe Library for browsing and managing saved recipes
+- **Goose CLI** stores recipes as files that you find using file paths or environment variables
+:::
+
+## Understanding Recipe Storage
+
+Before saving recipes, it's important to understand where they can be stored and how this affects their availability.
+
+### Recipe Storage Locations
+
+| Type | Location | Availability | Best For |
+|------|----------|-------------|----------|
+| **Global** | `~/.config/goose/recipes/` | All projects and sessions | Personal workflows, general-purpose recipes |
+| **Local** | `YOUR_WORKING_DIRECTORY/.goose/recipes/` | Only when working in that project | Project-specific workflows, team recipes |
+
+**Choose Global Storage When:**
+- You want the recipe available across all projects
+- It's a personal workflow or general-purpose recipe
+- You're the primary user of the recipe
+
+**Choose Local Storage When:**
+- The recipe is specific to a particular project
+- You're working with a team and want to share the recipe
+- The recipe depends on project-specific files or configurations
+
+

+  <TabItem value="cli" label="Goose CLI">
+
+    When you [create a recipe](/docs/guides/recipes/recipe-reference), it gets saved to:
+
+    * Your working directory by default: `./recipe.yaml`
+    * Any path you specify: `/recipe /path/to/my-recipe.yaml`  
+    * Local project recipes: `/recipe .goose/recipes/my-recipe.yaml`
+
+  </TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
