Creating Your Own Recipes

Have a family recipe written on a notecard? A dish you've perfected but never documented? Linkflare offers four easy ways to create recipes that aren't on the web.

From Photo

Perfect for: Handwritten recipe cards, cookbook pages, or screenshots

Upload or take a photo of your recipe and Linkflare will use AI to extract the text and structure it into a proper recipe. You can add an optional title and any additional notes.

From Text

Perfect for: Copy-pasted recipes, text messages, or recipes you've typed up

Simply paste your recipe text—no formatting required. Linkflare will parse the ingredients and instructions automatically.

Manual Entry
