Free Recipe ExtractorJust the Ingredients & Steps
Paste any public recipe URL and CookingGuru extracts a clean recipe — ingredients and step-by-step instructions — without the 2,000-word life story, popups, or ad clutter.
Looking to extract a recipe from a cooking video instead? Use the recipe extractor from video.
How to extract a recipe from a website
Three steps from a messy recipe page to a cookable card.
1. Copy the recipe page URL
Open the recipe on AllRecipes, BBC Good Food, a food blog, or any public recipe site. Copy the address from your browser.
2. Paste and extract
Drop the URL into the box above. CookingGuru reads the page and pulls out the structured recipe content.
3. Cook, save, or print
Use the clean ingredient list and steps immediately, save them to your cookbook, or print from your browser.
What works — and what does not
Typically works
- Public recipe pages on major sites (e.g. AllRecipes, BBC Good Food, and similar)
- Independent food blogs with a clear ingredients + method section
- Pages that expose recipe content without requiring login
Usually fails
- Paywalled or subscription-only recipe sites
- Pages that require login before showing the recipe
- Sites with aggressive bot protection that block fetching
- Cooking videos — use the video recipe extractor instead
Website extractor vs video extractor
This page is for recipe websites and food blogs: paste a page URL, skip the autobiography, get the recipe.
Recipe extractor from video is for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, and similar — when the recipe lives in a clip, not on a blog.
Both save into the same CookingGuru cookbook so you can mix blog recipes and social video recipes in one place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a recipe extractor?
A recipe extractor pulls the actual recipe — ingredients, instructions, and cook time — out of a cluttered recipe webpage. Instead of scrolling past ads and a long personal story, you get a clean recipe you can cook from, save, or print.
Which websites does CookingGuru’s recipe extractor work with?
It works with many public recipe pages, including popular sites like AllRecipes, BBC Good Food, Food Network-style blogs, and independent food blogs that publish a clear recipe. Results are best on public pages that are not behind a login or paywall.
Is this the same as a video recipe extractor?
No. This page is for recipe websites and food blogs. If your source is a TikTok, Instagram Reel, or YouTube Short, use the recipe extractor from video instead.
Why did extraction fail?
Common causes: the page requires login, is paywalled, blocks bots, or does not contain a clear recipe. Private or members-only content cannot be fetched. Try a different public URL, or use the video extractor if the recipe is only in a cooking video.
Is the recipe extractor free?
Yes. You can extract recipes within CookingGuru’s free allowance. Create a free account to save extracted recipes to your cookbook.
