Questions, answered without the kitchen chaos.

ChefScribe uses a YouTube cooking video’s title and description, plus your preferences, to generate a new recipe inspired by the dish. It does not extract or verify the ingredients or steps shown in the video.

Open the video, click the ChefScribe extension, and the recipe appears without all the pausing, rewinding, and losing your place.
