Everything ChefScribe helps you do
ChefScribe turns YouTube cooking videos into clear, usable recipe cards, so cooking feels smoother, calmer, and much easier to follow.
Built to make video recipes easier to cook from
Less pausing. Less searching. Less kitchen chaos. More actually getting on with dinner.
Instant recipe extraction
Open ChefScribe on a YouTube cooking video and pull out the main ingredients and steps in seconds — without manually typing anything out.
A cleaner step-by-step cooking view
Follow the recipe in a simpler, more readable layout that works better in a real kitchen than scrubbing back and forth through a video.
Check off ingredients and steps
Keep track of where you are as you prep and cook, so you don’t lose your place halfway through the recipe.
A personal recipe library
Save recipes you want to make again in one organised place — no bookmarks, screenshots, or mystery tabs required.
Adjustable servings
Scale recipes up or down depending on how many people you’re feeding, with ingredient quantities updating automatically.
Search that actually helps
Find saved recipes by name, ingredient, creator, or cuisine, even when you only vaguely remember what it was.
Copy, print, or share
Use recipes in the format that suits you best — clean to copy, easy to print, and simple to share.
Translation and extra recipe help
Translate recipes into English when needed, and view extra details like nutrition information when enough recipe data is available.
Designed for real cooking, not just browsing
ChefScribe is built for that moment when you’re actually making the recipe — with ingredients on the counter, something on the hob, and absolutely no patience left for rewinding the same 12 seconds again.
Does ChefScribe work with every YouTube recipe video?
It works best when the creator clearly explains ingredients and steps. Some videos are easier to extract from than others, especially if the recipe details are spoken or shown clearly.
Can I use ChefScribe for free?
Yes — there’s a free plan so you can try ChefScribe properly before deciding whether you want more extractions or more advanced usage.
