Home cooks collect recipes from websites, screenshots, printed pages, and social videos, but existing importers frequently omit measurements, invent ingredients, confuse foods, lose recipe sections, or produce unusable serving and nutrition data. Users then compare the imported result with the original and manually repair it, undermining the main reason they paid for an importer. The recurring problem spans multiple products and source formats rather than representing one isolated application bug.
Build a recipe-capture product centered on fidelity and verification rather than automatic generation. It would extract ingredients, quantities, units, servings, instructions, and component sections; display each extracted field beside its source evidence; flag uncertain values; and require confirmation instead of silently guessing. The initial product can export corrected recipes in printable, structured, and broadly compatible formats before expanding into grocery lists, unit conversion, and nutrition calculations.
Recipes increasingly arrive through screenshots and short-form videos, where conventional webpage importers perform poorly. At the same time, unreliable generative extraction is creating visible demand for provenance, confidence indicators, and correction tools.

the accuracy of the AI generated recipes is awful! missing ingredients, grossly inaccurate measurements and the instructions for the recipe may have been written by someone having a stroke
Good idea but doesn’t work When importing, it makes errors. It either doesn’t import/create instructions or the ingredients are wrong great idea but needs work
Love the idea of this app - needs some updates I am a 30 something year old that unfortunately made it this far in life without gaining any real cooking skill. So, TikTok videos are really my only saving grace when it comes to preparing dinner for my family. So, having this app available to compile those videos is great! I really appreciate that it not only gives you the ingredients and instructions, but allows you to change the serving size and adjusts
