❓ What does ChefScribe actually do?
ChefScribe takes a YouTube cooking video and instantly turns it into a tidy, written recipe you can cook from.
Just click the extension while the video is open — and the whole recipe appears in a clear, organised format.
❓ Can I change the serving size?
Yes!
ChefScribe has a handy serving-size slider.
Move it up or down, and the ingredient amounts update automatically — and so do the nutrition values.
No calculations. No guesswork. Just slide and cook.
❓ Does ChefScribe show nutrition information?
It does!
Each recipe includes basic nutrition details, and these adjust automatically when you change the serving size.
❓ Can I cook along using ChefScribe?
Definitely.
ChefScribe includes a Check-Off Mode, so you can tick ingredients or steps as you go.
They’ll get crossed out, helping you keep your place while cooking.
❓ Where are my recipes saved
Every recipe you extract is saved privately in your own Recipe Shelf inside ChefScribe.
It’s your personal collection — calm, organised, and easy to come back to anytime.
If someone else extracts the same recipe, they just get their own private copy.
No one sees each other’s shelves.
❓ Can I share recipes?
Yes there’s a Share button.
This lets you send someone a simple link so they can view the recipe too.
❓ Can I print recipes?
Absolutely!
ChefScribe gives you a clean, no-clutter print view that’s perfect for using in the kitchen or keeping in a binder.
❓ Do I need an account?
You’ll need a free account to save recipes to your shelf, share them, or print them.
But testing the extension itself doesn’t require one.
❓ Does ChefScribe own the recipes?
No not at all.
ChefScribe simply helps you turn publicly available YouTube cooking videos into written recipe cards.
All credit stays with the original creators.
❓ Do you track what I watch on YouTube?
No ChefScribe only activates when you click the button.
We don’t collect your viewing history or track your browsing.
❓ Who is ChefScribe for?
Anyone who finds it easier to cook from a calm, written recipe rather than a fast-moving video.
It’s great for beginners, busy cooks, visual learners, and people who love collecting recipes without the chaos.
❓ How do I start?
Install the extension, play a cooking video on YouTube, and click the ChefScribe icon.
Your first recipe will appear in seconds.
