Recipe Scanner
My Recipe Book uses AI to read recipe photos and turn them into structured, cookable recipes. Grandmother's handwriting, Instagram screenshots, cookbook pages — all of them.

The problem
Recipe cards from family sitting in a drawer. Screenshots from Instagram filling your camera roll. Photos of cookbook pages you've been meaning to try. Every recipe is somewhere — but never where you are when you need to cook.
How it works
A real example
Your grandmother hands you her famous chocolate cake recipe on an index card at the end of a family dinner. The handwriting is hers — loopy and faded, with a note in the margin about adding extra vanilla. You snap a photo on the spot. By the time you get home, it's in your recipe book — ingredients listed, steps numbered, the margin note preserved — ready to cook any time.
What it reads
The recipe scanner works with almost any image that has recipe text on it. If you can read it, the AI usually can too — good lighting and a flat, straight-on shot give the cleanest result.

FAQ
Yes — the scanner is built for handwriting, from a grandparent's recipe card to a note scribbled in a margin. Take a clear, well-lit photo and it becomes a structured recipe with ingredients and steps that you can review and save.
That's all. Snap or upload the photo, the AI reads it, and the recipe appears with ingredients and numbered steps in a few seconds. No typing.
