Add recipes
Add your recipes in moments.
In a notebook, on a recipe card, in an Instagram video or simply in your head: take a photo or paste a link, and Cocooko turns it into a clear recipe card, ready for your book.
Four ways to add a recipe
Your recipes are already somewhere
No more copying everything out: Cocooko fetches them wherever they are and turns them into clear recipe cards.
For example
From notebook page to recipe card
An old lemon cake recipe, written by hand. One photo, a few seconds, and it's ready: ingredients, steps, times, servings.
A complete recipe
A clear recipe, ready for your book
Once added, each recipe can be completed and becomes easy to find, cook and share.
Your photos, or a watercolour
Add your photos. No photo? Cocooko paints a watercolour of your dish.
Adjustable servings
Quantities are recalculated for 2, 4 or 8 people.
Nutritional values
Worked out from your ingredients, right through to the printed book.

The little secret that makes all the difference, plus your loved ones' comments.

All about adding recipes
Can Cocooko read a handwritten recipe?
Yes. Take a photo of the notebook page or recipe card: Cocooko reads the handwriting, fills in the ingredients and steps, and corrects any mistakes. All that's left is to check it.
Where can I import a recipe from?
From a photo (notebook, recipe card, book, magazine), a link (Instagram, TikTok, a recipe website), copied text or a PDF.
What if the recipe is in another language?
It is translated into English when you import it.
Do I need to check the recipe after importing it?
A quick look is usually enough: you can change anything before saving the recipe.
Do I have to pay to use the app?
No, the app is free to use: you add your recipes, create your books and share them. Only printing the book is paid for.
Who can see my recipes?
You choose for each book: just you, the people who follow you, or everyone.
