ChefScribe

Create your own private recipe inspired by a YouTube video and your requirements.

Turn cooking videos into recipes you can make your own You’ve just watched a video and now you want to cook it, but vegan, or gluten-free, or for six instead of two. ChefScribe does that in one click. Open any cooking video on YouTube, tap the ChefScribe extension, and pick what you need: vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or any mix. Add your own twist if you like, such as swapping an ingredient, changing the flavour or scaling the servings. You get a brand-new recipe with its own ingredients and method, inspired by the video’s title and description. It’s your version, not a copy of the creator’s. On your phone? Paste a YouTube link into the ChefScribe web app and create a recipe there. No extension needed. Then make it part of your week Save recipes to your own collection, with folders, favourites and ratings Search everything you’ve saved Change the servings and the quantities update automatically See estimated nutrition where available Plan the week’s meals (free) Turn your plan into a shopping list you can add to, tick off in the shop or print Print recipes and shopping lists Use it on your computer, phone or tablet Free to start, Pro when you’re ready Free gives you 12 recipe creations every month.
