How it works

  1. Open a recipe

    On Hungry Paprikas, The Mediterranean Dish and BBC Good Food, recipe links open straight in PureCookbook. On other sites, click Open in PureCookbook in the corner of the page.

  2. It’s laid out for cooking

    Our server reads the page, and AI sets it out as ingredients and numbered steps. Quantities are checked against the source before you see the recipe.

  3. Cook

    Tick off ingredients, keep the screen on, copy or share the recipe. The original page is one click away.

Questions

Does it work on every recipe site?

Hungry Paprikas, The Mediterranean Dish and BBC Good Food open directly in the reader. Other sites show a button when the page looks like a recipe. Some publishers block access or use formats we can’t read yet. A recipe that fails to prepare doesn’t use your allowance.

What does it send to your server?

The address of recipe pages. Not page contents, cookies or your browsing history. Public recipes are cached and reused. You can pause automatic preparation from the extension’s toolbar icon. Privacy notice.

What does it cost?

Nothing, for 5 new recipes a month. Reopening a recipe is free, and so is preparation in background tabs. During this preview your allowance is tied to your browser installation.

Can I change servings or units?

Not yet. Quantities are stored in a structured form so that serving and unit conversion can be added without guesswork.
