Turn any cooking video into step-by-step recipes you can actually follow.
You've saved hundreds of recipe videos on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. That incredible pasta dish. The viral baked feta. Your aunt's jollof rice tutorial. But when you actually go to cook them? You can't find the video. You're pausing every five seconds with flour-covered fingers. You forget which ingredients you already added. You lose your place in the steps. You give up halfway through.
Recipe Hunter changes everything. We use AI to transform any cooking video into clear, organized, step-by-step recipes you can actually follow. In seconds, you go from a messy video you're pausing with greasy fingers to organized instructions, shopping lists, and a meal plan to actually cook what you saved.
🎬 HOW IT WORKS
1. Share Any Recipe Video Paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram—or upload a video directly from your phone. Takes just 5 seconds.
2. AI Does the Heavy Lifting Our advanced AI watches the video for you and extracts: • Every ingredient with exact measurements • Step-by-step cooking instructions in order • Cooking times and temperatures • Tips, techniques, and chef secrets • Everything organized and ready to follow
Processing takes 30-60 seconds. Then it's yours forever.
3. Cook and Actually Finish Check off steps as you go. Never lose your place. Never forget an ingredient. Turn that saved recipe into a real meal on your table.
