- Record a voice noteMum, nan or a friend talking through the dish. We pull out the ingredients and steps.
- Film someone cookingFilm them at the hob. We watch and listen, then build the guide.
- Photo or PDFA cookbook page, a recipe card, a handwritten note. Anything unreadable is left blank.
- Type it inA dish you know by heart, in your own words.
And for everything else in the kitchen.

Cook at your own pace
One step at a time, hands-free if you like. Finish without a questionnaire.
The original stays part of the recipe.
Open the original video, page or recording to check a technique or hear how it was explained. Where a source timestamp is available, jump to that moment from the cooking step.
Original links depend on the creator’s video remaining available. RecipeMirror can make mistakes; check the guide before cooking.
Ready when you come back.
Keep your guides in My Dishes, return to a cook, and use your shopping list for the next meal.
