Paste any recipe URL — even a TikTok or Instagram video — and the AI strips the life story and ads, pulling just the ingredients, steps, time, and photo into a tidy card. Learn more →
Pinch of This is built to help you cook, not keep you scrolling. Your recipes stay yours, the app stays ad-free, and you can use it right in your browser on any device.
Found a recipe on a Spanish-language blog or TikTok? Save it once and Pinch of This can turn the structured card into English or Spanish, so every cook gets ingredients, steps, and notes in the language they actually use.
Paste any recipe URL from a food blog or recipe site and the AI strips out the ads, pop-ups, and the 800-word life story — leaving just the ingredients, steps, prep time, and photo in a clean, easy-to-read card that's yours to keep.
See a recipe in a TikTok or Instagram video? Paste the link and the AI pulls the ingredients and steps out of the caption and clip into a clean recipe card — no pausing, screenshotting, or scrubbing back through the video.
Every recipe gets nutrition info calculated automatically from the USDA FoodData Central database — calories, protein, carbs, fat, and more, per serving. See what's in a dish before you cook it, no manual entry required.
That fading index card from grandma doesn't have to stay in a drawer. Take a photo and our AI reads the handwriting, digitizes it into a clean recipe card, and saves it right alongside everything else — no retyping, but still fully editable.
