How do I save a recipe from a video?

Copy the YouTube or Instagram link and paste it into the box on this page. Nourishible turns the available recipe information into ingredients and steps, then saves it to your library.

Can I save recipes from Instagram Reels?

Yes. Paste the Reel's link into the box on this page, or in Instagram tap Share on the Reel and choose Nourishible in the iPhone app. You can also give a Reel to your own AI assistant and ask it to extract and save the recipe.

Can I save recipes from Xiaohongshu or RED?

Yes, through your AI assistant. It supports Xiaohongshu video notes and photo notes when the content is available to the assistant.

Does it work with TikTok, Facebook or Pinterest?

Not yet. These channels are not supported today.

How much does it cost?

Your account, your library and every published recipe are free, and so are your first 2 recipe saves. After that, saves come in packs — 10 for $4.99 or 20 for $8.99 — with no subscription. Extractions performed by your own AI assistant never use a save; your AI provider's own limits still apply.

Do I need to install an app?

No. YouTube and Instagram links work in the browser, and you need a Nourishible account to keep the recipe. If you would rather share straight from YouTube or Instagram, there is a free iPhone app. Xiaohongshu needs a one-time AI-assistant setup.

What if the video has no voiceover?

Nourishible can also use available on-screen text and the video description. A silent video with little or no text may produce an incomplete recipe.

What happens if the recipe comes out wrong?

Some extractions are held for review when important details are uncertain. Check the finished recipe against the original source before cooking, especially when a quantity was unclear or missing.

Can I edit the recipe afterwards?

Not on the website today. If you have connected an AI assistant, you can ask it to update one of your saved recipes while keeping the source attached.

What if the original post gets deleted?

The structured recipe remains in your library. The source link may stop working, but your saved copy does not disappear with it.

What if I paste a video I have already saved?

You are shown the recipe you already have, with a link straight to it, and nothing is extracted twice.

Lasagna Bolognese with Béchamel

135 min · Serves 12

Ingredients

454 g italian sausage
454 g ground beef
3 clove garlic
60 g tomato paste

Steps

1Brown the meat: in a large pot over medium-high heat, sear the sausage in chunks undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, then break it up and cook until crispy and cooked through, 3–4 minutes more. Set aside and repeat with the beef, then return the sausage to the pot and lower the heat to medium-low.
2Make the sauce: stir in the garlic for 1 minute, then the tomato paste for 1–2 minutes, until it darkens and starts to stick. Add the crushed tomatoes and water, scrape up the browned bits, bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3Turn off the heat, stir in the whole basil with stems and let it steep for 10 minutes while you make the béchamel. Discard the stems before assembling.

Recipes do not all arrive in the same format. Nourishible gives each supported channel an honest route into the same recipe library.

YouTube + Instagram

Paste directly

Paste a public video, Short or Reel here, or share it to the Nourishible iPhone app. Nourishible reads the available recipe details and saves the result to your library.

Use your AI assistant

Connect once, then send your assistant a RED video or photo note — or an Instagram carousel. It saves the structured recipe to the same library, and never uses a recipe save.

These channels do not have a working Nourishible extraction route today. We would rather say that before you paste.

Built for after save

A recipe you can use, not another video to remember

Shop from it

See ingredients and stated quantities together instead of rebuilding a list from a caption and voiceover.

Cook at your pace

Follow ordered steps without unlocking your phone and dragging the video back with wet hands.

Find it again

Search your library by recipe or tag instead of scrolling through hundreds of saved posts.

Keep the source

The original creator and source stay attached, so you can check the saved recipe against the video whenever you need to.

How it works

From link to recipe in 3 steps

Choose the route

Paste a YouTube or Instagram link here, or share the video to the iPhone app. For Xiaohongshu, send the link to your connected AI assistant instead.

The recipe is assembled

Available narration, on-screen text, captions and descriptions are brought together into ingredients, quantities and ordered steps.

Check and save

Nourishible saves the result and lets you know when it is ready. Check the finished recipe against the original source before cooking.

Compared with now

Keep the recipe, not the workaround

Screenshots

Fast to take, but they capture fragments. Shopping and cooking still mean piecing the details together.

Saved posts

They keep the video, not the recipe. You still have to replay it, and the save is no help if the source disappears.

Typing into Notes

It works, but every ingredient and step has to be copied by hand. That is why so many saved videos stay unwritten.
