Video2Recipe extracts written recipes from cooking videos – paste a link from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or Facebook and it returns the ingredients and steps in order.
Anyone who has tried to cook from a short-form video knows the problem exactly. The format is optimised for watching, not for following: quantities flash past, steps are cut for pace, and you end up scrubbing back with wet hands mid-recipe. Converting to text turns something entertaining into something usable in a kitchen.
Covering all four major short-form platforms is sensible, since recipe video lives across all of them. Two practical notes: extraction accuracy depends on the video actually stating quantities, which many do not, and a recipe extracted for personal use is fine while republishing someone’s work is a different matter.
