All your recipes. Beautifully preserved.
Recipes from websites, TikTok, Instagram, screenshots and Grandma's handwritten cards, turned into one searchable collection of clean recipe cards.
See it in action
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
One clean layout, whatever the source
A blog post, a screenshot and a handwritten card all come out as the same easy-to-read recipe card.
"My recipes are somewhere between a Pinterest board, three browser tabs, index cards, ChatGPT, and a notes app I haven't opened in months."
Sound familiar?
Culinary Card gives them one home you can search.
Import from wherever recipes live
Website links, Pinterest pins, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook links, screenshots and handwritten cards. AI tidies each one into a recipe card, or switch on "Keep exactly as I entered it" and your wording stays as written.
Search the way memory works
Type an ingredient you remember, or filter by tag, difficulty, source or your own rating. No more hunting through 80 bookmarks.
A collection that looks like your cooking life
Upload your own photos, or let AI illustrate the dish in the style you pick, so the whole collection looks like one cookbook.
Print it, share it, keep it
Print a full page or a 4×6 index card. Share a book with family by link, and let them add their own recipes. Your collection stays private until you do.
A note from the founder
Hello! 👋 Nice to meet you.
My name is Matt, and I live in Minnesota with my wife Amaya and our dog, Rafael. I should really mention by the way that I am very amateur at cooking so I am not going to pretend that I am some great chef!
I started Culinary Card because my favorite recipes were scattered and my mental model of where they all lived was getting fuzzy (Google docs, text messages, photos, bookmarked websites, recipe books, notecards, and then most recently, ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude). I wanted a beautiful digitized recipe book to keep them all together in one place, both new recipes and passed down ones, and a clutter-free way to easily find and cook with those recipes.
I am often looking at ways to improve the experience, and as such, I welcome any feedback you might have, e.g. ways to improve functionality or new features you would like to see. It might just end up in here! 😊 Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy Culinary Card!
Matt
“I sent the Culinary Card recipes, along with photos of the handwritten originals, to family members across the miles and everyone flipped out! WOW! Such a gift to be able to see these family recipes, not just preserved, but improved to be user-friendly and updated.”
How it compares
Each comparison says where the other app is the better choice, too.
Both import with AI. ReciMe has apps and a meal planner; we have a pay-once option and family books.
Paprika is pay-once per device with a planner. We read handwriting and run in any browser.
Recipe Keeper scans text off a page. We return a finished recipe and keep the original photo.
AnyList is a shopping list first. Most people are better off using both.
