Upload the Family Recipes!
Keep Grandma's handwriting alive. Share it with family.
Recipe Trees, an AI powered recipe app for all generations.
Grandma – Upload the recipe cards! AI will scan and preserve the original.
Mom – Upload your stack of magazine recipes and printed recipes. Just snap a photo of it and AI does the rest.
Dad – Type in the recipes you know by heart (and never wrote down).
Daughter – Import your favs from other websites and food blogs.
Son – Ask AI to design a recipe based on what you're in the mood for.
For families who want to keep handwritten recipes alive, Recipe Trees preserves the original cards—smudges, notes, and all—and makes it easy to share them with the people who matter. You control who can see each recipe.
What is Recipe Trees?
Recipe Trees is an intelligent web application that uses advanced AI technology to extract recipe information from images. Simply upload a photo of your recipe (whether it's handwritten, printed, or from a cookbook), and our AI will automatically identify and extract the ingredients, cooking instructions, and other details.
Our platform preserves the original character of family recipes while making them accessible, searchable, and shareable. You control who sees each recipe, from private family collections to public community sharing.
