How It Works

ChefScribe makes learning recipes from YouTube effortless.
Here’s what happens the moment you start using it:

1. Find a YouTube Recipe You Love

Browse YouTube exactly as you normally do — pasta, cakes, curries, midnight snack experiments… whatever calls to you.
See a video you want to keep? Just open it.
No setup. No fiddling. No learning curve.

2. Tap the ChefScribe Button

A tiny ChefScribe icon appears right in your browser.
Click it, and boom — the extension instantly extracts everything from the video:

  • full ingredient list
  • step-by-step instructions
  • timings
  • serving size
  • nutrition info (when available)

You don’t lift a finger. No typing. No rewinding.

3. Your Recipe Appears — Clean, Clear, and Ready to Cook

Goodbye clutter. Goodbye ads. Goodbye scrubbing through the video like you’re chasing clues in a detective film.
You get a simple, beautiful recipe layout — calm, clear, and easy to follow at a glance.

4. Cook in “Check-Off Mode”

Every ingredient and every step comes with a tick box.
Tap as you go, and ChefScribe automatically strikes items out so you always know what’s done and what’s next.
Stay relaxed, focused, and organised — even on your busiest cooking days.

5. Adjust the Serving Size

Cooking for two? Feeding a small army?
Just drag the serving slider.
ChefScribe instantly updates:

  • ingredient amounts
  • nutrition estimates
  • total quantities

No maths. No guessing. No stress.

6. Save Recipes for Later

One click sends the recipe straight to your personal Recipe Shelf.
Collect as many as you want — it’s all private to you.
If someone else saves the same recipe, they get their own personal version.
Your collection stays yours.

7. Print or Share (Optional)

Need a paper copy? Want to send a recipe to a friend?
Hit Print or Share.
ChefScribe formats everything neatly — even including the video thumbnail so you always know where it came from.

And That’s It. Simple. Calm. Helpful.

ChefScribe takes the chaos out of learning recipes from YouTube…
so you can focus on what actually matters: enjoying the cooking.
