How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the recipe link

    Open the recipe in your browser and copy the address from the address bar or the share menu.

  2. 2

    Paste it above and tap Get the recipe

    The tool reads the recipe card on the page and leaves out ads, pop-ups and the story above it.

  3. 3

    Cook, or save it

    Tick off ingredients as you go. To keep the recipe, save it to Recipe Notes. It stays in your collection with a link back to the original page.

Which links work

The tool reads recipe cards. When a page has no recipe card, or the site will not let us open it, the Recipe Notes app can usually still save the recipe.

Food blogs and recipe sites: yes

Most recipe pages have a recipe card that lists ingredients and steps. That card is what the tool reads.

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest: use the app

Social posts have no recipe card. The Recipe Notes app reads the caption and the video and turns them into a recipe.

Some large sites: use the app

Some sites block automated tools, so the page never reaches us. In our tests this included Allrecipes and Food Network. The app reads the page in your own browser instead.

Pages without a recipe card: use the app

Some recipes are written as a normal article. The app can read the whole page and pick out the ingredients and steps.

Frequently asked questions

Is Just the Recipe free?

Yes. You do not need an account, and there is no limit for normal use. The tool has a shared daily limit to stop abuse.

Do you keep the recipes I look up?

We keep a short-lived copy (up to 24 hours) so that the same link loads faster the next time. We do not publish it, and it is not saved to any account. Only recipes you save in Recipe Notes go into your collection.

Why did it not work for my link?

There are three usual reasons: the link is a social media post, the site blocks automated tools, or the page has no recipe card. In all three cases you can save the recipe with the Recipe Notes app instead.

Does it work with Instagram or TikTok recipes?

Not in this tool. Share the post to the Recipe Notes app, which reads the caption and the video and turns them into a recipe.

How do I save the recipe?

Tap Save to Recipe Notes under the recipe. On iPhone it opens the app and imports the recipe. On Android and computers it opens Recipe Notes on the web.
