Why collecting recipes is so chaotic
You have a notebook from your grandmother, a folder of screenshots on your phone, twenty bookmarked websites and a note in Apple Notes. Your own recipes are everywhere — except in one useful place. Every time you want to cook something, you start searching all over again.
The problem isn't that you have too few recipes. The problem is that you don't store them in a structured way that's actually usable in the kitchen.
What makes a good digital recipe book?
A good digital recipe book is accessible (always to hand, even in the shop), searchable (find by ingredient, cuisine or cooking time) and shareable with your family. Recipes need to be structured — with ingredients, servings and steps — not just a photo or screenshot.
How to add recipes to Stoof
Stoof supports multiple ways to add recipes. Take a photo of a cookbook page and the AI reads the recipe automatically. Paste a URL from a recipe website and Stoof imports everything. Or describe the dish in your own words — "pasta like my mother used to make" — and the app generates a recipe as a starting point.
All recipes are stored neatly with ingredient list, servings and preparation steps. Also learn how to digitise a physical cookbook.
Your own digital cookbook for the whole family
Once saved, your recipes are available to your whole family. Your partner can browse them, plan the weekly menu from your library and generate the shopping list. One library, one weekly menu, one shopping list — shared.
Discover how saving recipes and planning a weekly menu come together in one app.
