Recipe Keeper App for iPhoneKeep Every Recipe in One Place

A recipe keeper app should do more than store links — it should give you ingredients, steps, and nutrition you can actually cook from. CookingGuru is a free iOS recipe keeper that imports recipes from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and recipe websites like BBC Good Food into an organised personal cookbook.

Every recipe you keep — whether from a cooking video or a recipe page — is synced across your devices, searchable by cuisine and meal type, and safe even if the original is deleted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best recipe keeper app for iPhone?

CookingGuru is a free recipe keeper app for iPhone that imports recipes from TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, and recipe websites into a personal cookbook. Recipes are organised by cuisine and meal type, and synced across your devices when you sign in.

Can I import recipes from recipe websites?

Yes. Paste a URL from BBC Good Food, AllRecipes, or any public recipe page into CookingGuru and the recipe is imported into your cookbook alongside recipes from cooking videos.

How is a recipe keeper app different from bookmarking videos?

Bookmarking a cooking video or recipe page only saves the link. If the creator deletes it or the site changes, you can lose access. A recipe keeper app like CookingGuru extracts the ingredients and steps as structured text, so your recipes stay accessible forever.

Can I keep recipes from multiple sources in one app?

Yes. CookingGuru keeps recipes from TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, and recipe websites in a single synced cookbook. Share videos or paste page URLs and they all appear together.

Is the CookingGuru recipe keeper app free?

Yes. CookingGuru is free to download on the App Store. Free accounts can keep several recipes, and a paid plan unlocks unlimited saved recipes plus extra features like PDF export.

Can I access my kept recipes offline?

Yes. With the CookingGuru iOS app, your saved recipes are available offline on iPhone and iPad once they have been synced to your account.
