Every recipe you love, in one clean place.

Guided Kitchen turns any recipe link, from a blog, YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, into a clean page you can keep, edit and cook from.

One email when it's your turn. Nothing else.

Home cooking is calm.
Finding the recipe isn’t.

Scroll, scroll, scroll

The life story

Two thousand words about a holiday in Tuscany, three video ads and a cookie banner, all before you reach the oven temperature.

Saved · never seen again

The reel you saved

It looked perfect at 11pm. Now it’s somewhere in your saved posts, and the quantities were only ever said out loud.

“Double the garlic”

The handwritten card

Oil-stained, pencilled, irreplaceable. And the only copy lives in a drawer.

How it works

From any recipe link to a library you can cook from.

Four things Guided Kitchen does for you. That's it. That's the whole app.

01 · Import

Paste any link. Get a real recipe.

From food blogs, YouTube, Instagram reels and TikTok. We strip the ads, the ramble, the SEO padding. You get clean ingredients and a method you can actually cook from.

  • Supports recipe websites, YouTube, Instagram & TikTok
  • Cookbook-photo import is on the way
  • Always links back to the original author

02 · Make edits

Make it yours. Keep the original safe.

Make edits to any recipe — your tweaks, your timings, your private notes in the margins. The original stays pristine. Your version stays yours.

  • Edit ingredients, method, timings
  • Private notes on any line — the stuff you’d normally scribble
  • Your edits never touch the source recipe

03 · Organise

Collections that think the way you cook.

Favourites. Cook Later. Sunday Bakes. Your mum's recipes. Make the collections that match your brain, not a generic taxonomy. Share one with your family or a flatmate — everyone can add.

  • Unlimited, freely-named collections
  • Shared collections for family or friends
  • Smart defaults: Favourites & Cook Later are built in

04 · Follow

The cooks you actually trust, in one feed.

Subscribe to publishers, newsletters, and creators. New recipes land in your feed — no algorithm, no rage bait, no "one weird trick". Just the people whose cooking you already love.

  • Follow any site, newsletter, or creator
  • Chronological feed — no algorithmic shuffling
  • Optional weekly digest, zero push notifications

Who it's for

For the home cook with a messy, loved recipe collection.

You self-select in. The wrong person self-selects out. We both get a calmer waitlist.

  • You cook at home at least a few nights a week.
  • You save recipes in five different places and find them in none.
  • You annotate as you cook — and want those notes to survive.
  • You trust specific cooks and want their new recipes without hunting.
  • You want a social network with likes and follower counts.
  • You want AI to invent recipes for you from a photo of your fridge.

A note from the founder

My recipes lived in four places: screenshots, a Notes app, a drawer of torn-out magazine pages, and my head. I wanted a calmer home for them, couldn't find one that felt right, so I'm making it.

Answers

Questions worth answering.

When does it launch?

The private beta is running now. I'm inviting small batches every week or two so I can talk to everyone who joins. A wider launch is planned for later in 2026, though I'd rather it be right than on time.

Is it free?

It's free for everyone during the beta. At launch there will be a paid plan to keep the lights on. Early users get a substantial discount, and the recipes you've saved stay yours to view even if you never pay.

Which sites and platforms can I import from?

Almost any recipe website or food blog, plus YouTube videos, Instagram posts and reels, and TikTok, including videos where the cook never wrote the recipe down. Importing from a photo of a cookbook page or from pasted text is being built.

Do I own my recipes? Can I export them?

Yes. Your library is yours, and you'll be able to export everything in a standard format. No lock-in.

Is this AI-generated slop?

No. AI does the dull part: pulling the ingredients and steps out of a cluttered page or a video. It never invents recipes and never rewrites the cook's method. What you save is the real recipe, tidied up.
