Snap a photo, paste a link or a TikTok, or type it in. Snap and Simmer saves it, tags it, and makes it searchable, then shares it with everyone you cook with.

The recipes you love are spread across screenshots, open tabs, and a splattered notebook. Here is how they all end up in one place.
Snap a photo of a card, paste a link from any site or a TikTok, or jot it down. However the recipe reaches you, it gets in.
Every recipe comes back tagged by meal, cuisine, diet, and effort, and it is searchable the second you save it.
Your whole household shares one kitchen. Everyone adds, everyone cooks, and nothing gets lost in someone else's phone.
Paste the link to a TikTok or an Instagram Reel. We read the caption, and if the recipe lives only in the video, we watch it: we listen to what is said, read what is on screen, and write it all down as a proper recipe.
Free while we are in beta. Linked videos can be up to three minutes long.
Everything is built to get a recipe in fast and pull it back up faster.
Even the ones that block importers. Our clipper runs right in your browser, so no recipe is off limits.
Point your camera at a cookbook page or a handwritten card. It reads the ingredients and steps for you.
Paste the link. We read the caption, and if the recipe is only in the video, we watch and listen, then write it down. Nothing guessed.
Sorted by meal, cuisine, diet, and effort the moment you save. Search finds any recipe in a tap.
Rate what you cook, star the keepers, and park the rest on a Want to try list. Dinner tonight picks itself.
Send a recipe to your grocery list and the ingredients are waiting for you at the store.
Invite your partner, your roommates, your family. One shared cookbook you all cook from.
Send any recipe with a link. Whoever you send it to can open it, no account required.
Gather recipes into chapters, add a dedication, and download a book that is ready to print. Hardcover copies are coming soon.
Warm, visual, and yours. Here is what a kitchen looks like after a few good weeks.
The things people ask before they start a kitchen.
Yes. Everything is free while we are in beta, with no credit card and no trial that runs out. Saving recipes from links, photos, captions and pasted text is free, and every kitchen also gets 5 video watches a month. Later on, kitchens that want to turn lots of videos into recipes will be able to add a small monthly plan, and we will say so well before anything changes.
Paste a link to a recipe page, a TikTok or an Instagram Reel. Snap a photo of a cookbook page, a handwritten card or a screenshot. Pick a cooking video from your phone. Or just type it in. On a computer, our web clipper saves from sites that block importers. Whatever you start with, it comes back as a clean recipe with a title, ingredients, steps and tags.
Paste the link. Many creators write the recipe in the caption or link to their blog, so we read those first. If the recipe lives only in the video, we watch it: we listen to what is said, read the text on screen, and write it down. That takes about a minute. Linked videos can be up to three minutes long. We don't import YouTube videos at the moment, so if the recipe is on a web page, paste that page's link instead.
No. That is a rule we hold to: what you save is what the source said. If a video never says how much of something to use, that amount stays blank for you to fill in. If a photo cuts a recipe off at the edge, we skip that recipe rather than guess at the rest.
Only the people in your kitchen. The owner invites everyone, either as a partner who can add and edit recipes, or as a member who can browse, rate, star and comment. When you share a recipe by link, whoever has the link sees that one recipe and nothing else, no account needed.
Yes. Keep your own kitchen and join your parents' or a friend's too, then switch between them from your home screen.
Yes. Snap and Simmer runs in the browser on your phone, tablet and computer, and your kitchen is the same everywhere you sign in. On your phone you can snap a recipe straight from the camera or pick a cooking video from your camera roll. Apps for iPhone and Android are in the works.
Send any recipe to your grocery list and its ingredients land there, grouped by aisle. Keep a “Want to try” list for the recipes you are itching to make, star your favorites, and rate what you cook so the whole household knows what is worth making again.
Yes. Gather recipes into a cookbook with chapters, a dedication and an introduction. If you like, we will draft the introduction and chapter notes from your own recipes, ratings and comments, never from anything made up. Then download a print-ready PDF in letter, 6 by 9 or 8 by 10 inches. Ordering a printed hardcover from inside the app is coming soon.
So is this. Start your kitchen, invite the people you cook with, and never lose a recipe again.
