Instagram is the world's biggest cooking magazine. The problem is the bookmark folder: 200 unlabeled videos, no measurements, no method, no way to find the salmon one. FOODIE fixes that in one share.
A week with FOODIE
How a instagram recipe savers actually uses it.
Friday night doom-scroll
A creator posts a 30-second pasta recipe. No caption with quantities.
Tap share, pick FOODIE. The AI reads the post's caption and source metadata, then saves a structured recipe in your cookbook in seconds.
Sunday meal-planning
You want to cook "that thing from that creator" but can't find it.
Search FOODIE for "miso butter" and the recipe pops up — with proper ingredients and steps, not a video to rewatch.
Tuesday at the grocery store
Standing in the aisle, can't remember if it was 3 or 4 cloves of garlic.
Open the saved recipe in FOODIE — full ingredient list right there. No squinting at a Reel with greasy hands.
Cooking that recipe
Time to actually make the thing.
Tap into cooking mode. Big text, smart highlights, tap-to-advance. The chaotic Reel is now a clean recipe you can follow step by step.
Built for you

Common questions
Frequently asked.
4 answers to the things people ask us most. Tap any question to expand.
01What about TikTok recipes?
Same flow. Tap share, pick FOODIE — the AI handles TikTok the same way it handles Reels. No rewatching the video at the stove.
02Can it handle videos with no caption?
FOODIE relies on the caption and any text the source provides. Most cooking videos have at least a short caption with measurements — that's enough for a structured recipe. Pure-visuals videos with zero text may parse only partially, leaving you a draft to edit.
03What about private accounts?
No — Instagram blocks private posts from outside apps. FOODIE works on public Reels, posts, and accounts you'd normally see without logging in to a friend.
04Will it remember which creator the recipe came from?
Yes — the source link is preserved with the saved recipe so you can revisit the original creator anytime.
