Product features
Everything ChefScribe helps you do with YouTube recipes
Less pausing. Less hunting through comments. Less “wait, how much garlic was that?” More cooking from a neat card that keeps the useful bits in one place.
Pull out ingredients clearly
See ingredients in one tidy list instead of digging through descriptions, captions, comments or paused video frames.
Follow step-by-step instructions
Cook from simple numbered steps, so you can keep your place while the original video stays available for reference.
Save recipes in your library
Keep recipe cards from favourite YouTube creators in one organised place, ready to find again later.
Search your saved recipes
Find recipes by name, ingredient, creator, cuisine or tag — even when all you remember is the main ingredient.
Print or copy recipes
Use your recipe card away from the video. Print it, copy it, or keep it open while you cook.
Adjust servings
Scale recipes up or down depending on how many people you’re feeding, with ingredient quantities updating automatically when supported.
Translate recipes into English
Turn useful cooking videos in other languages into easier English recipe cards when the recipe details are available.
Get estimated nutrition info
See estimated calories, macros and serving information when there is enough recipe detail to calculate it sensibly.
Organise by tag or creator
Browse recipes by creator, channel, meal type, tag or cooking style instead of drowning in browser bookmarks.
Check off ingredients and steps
Tick things off as you go, so you can keep track while cooking from a real kitchen, not a perfect studio.
Share clean recipe links
Share a tidy recipe card with someone else, while keeping the original YouTube video connected as the source.

Good to know
Does ChefScribe work with every YouTube recipe video?
It works best when the creator clearly explains the ingredients and steps. Some videos are easier to extract from than others, especially when the recipe is spoken, shown or described clearly.
Can I use ChefScribe for free?
Yes. There is a free plan so you can try ChefScribe before deciding whether you want more saved recipes and Pro features.
Does it replace the YouTube creator?
No. ChefScribe is designed to make the recipe easier to follow while keeping the original YouTube video connected as the source.
Does nutrition always appear?
Nutrition is estimated when enough recipe detail is available. If a video does not provide enough information, ChefScribe avoids pretending it knows everything.
