Keep the way they showed you

Cook it the way it was actually shown.

Turn a cooking video, recipe or recording into a step-by-step guide that stays faithful to the source — including their words, quantities, language and cooking cues. Amounts they never gave stay unfilled.

  1. Find a dish — search, the demo, or a link you already have.
  2. RecipeMirror reads what is there. A real video takes a minute or two.
  3. An amount nobody stated stays a question. Calories come from what it could resolve.
  4. Then cook from the guide, scale the same dish, and say how it went.

Spanish, Hindi, Tamil — kept beside English, never instead of it. The same bilingual step for other languages the source used. The web app works on a phone today; native apps are later.

A cook at the hob glances toward a phone on the worktop. RecipeMirror’s cooking guide is moving through the next few steps.

How it works

1Find a dish

Search, try the demo, or start from what is in. A link is for when you already have one.

2It reads what is there

Ingredients, amounts, order and timing — and what the source never says.

3Cook with guidance

Step by step, read aloud, with the original two seconds away.

4Mark what you did

Notes on what you actually used stay with the dish for next time.

Their language, kept

English beside the original. Never instead of it.

A sofrito, a reduction, a tadka — illustrations of how a bilingual step is shown, not recordings from named cooks.

Español

Después del sofrito, añade el ajo.

After the sofrito, add the garlic.

Français

Laissez réduire jusqu’à ce que la sauce nappe la cuillère.

Reduce until the sauce coats the spoon.

हिन्दी

तड़का लगाने के बाद घी डालें।

After the tadka, add the ghee.

Why cooks choose RecipeMirror

Their words, kept

Including the language they used. Spanish, Hindi, Tamil sit beside English — never instead of it.

Rescue a dish

Stuck, or need a swap? Real help without derailing the recipe — and a refusal where safety is involved.

It will not invent an amount

When the source never said how much, the guide leaves a question. That is the point.

See everything it does

Experience a real dish, end to end.

The whole loop — bring it in, read it, ask what it cannot know, cook, rescue. No sign-up.

For families. For generations.

Some recipes were never written down.

Record the person who knows the recipe. Their way, their words — kept for today and for whoever cooks it next.

What a cook actually sees.

The real screens, on a real dish. Amounts the source never gave stay questions — this is not a polished mock.

  1. Home. Your kitchen: what you were cooking, and a way back in.
  2. Cook. Search a dish, or paste a link if you already have one.
  3. It reads the source. A real video takes a minute or two. This is that progress, sped up.
  4. One thing only you can settle. "Two to three spoons" stays a question. You decide, like at home.
  5. Calories Calculator. From this dish’s stated amounts. Yoghurt, oil and salt stay out of the total.
  6. The cooking guide. One step at a time, with the cue the cook actually gave.
  7. Scale a recipe. The same butter chicken, doubled. Times and heat are not multiplied.
  8. After you cook. How it went is what you said. Next time, the guide starts from that.

What it can read

A pasta, a curry, a soup — a demonstration is a demonstration wherever it comes from.

Scale a recipe, or count calories — no source required.

Two tools that work on what you type or photograph. They will not invent grams or a cooking time. They sit here because people look for them by name.

Scale a recipe

From four servings to six, or from "the recipe says 500 g" to "I have 750 g in the fridge". Amounts are rounded to something a kitchen can actually measure, and it checks the result against the pans you own.

Open it — no video needed

Calories Calculator

A photo names the foods. It does not invent grams. Weigh the pan at the end and you get kcal per 100 g of what you actually eat — water left, energy stayed, often a third higher than raw.

Open it — no video needed

For professional kitchens

A dish should not leave when the chef does.

When the head chef hands in notice, is off sick, or opens a second site, the dish drifts — because it never existed anywhere except in one person’s hands. The same engine records them cooking it once, while they are still here, with the parts nobody wrote down marked as questions rather than guessed.

  • Continuity when someone leaves
  • The same dish across every site
  • Train a new starter properly
  • Scale to service, no invented timings
For kitchens

Early — no kitchens product yet. We are looking for the first one to build it with.

Trust is our recipe

Provenance you can see

Every step points back at the moment it came from, so you always know where it came from.

Privacy first

Your sources, notes and favourites stay yours. Family recordings are never published or shared.

Honest uncertainty

When RecipeMirror does not know, it does not pretend. An amount nobody stated stays a question.
