Saving recipes from social video

How to save a TikTok recipe so you'll actually cook it

A saved TikTok sits in a folder with hundreds of others, and the amounts were said once, quickly, over the music. Suppa turns a TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube post into a written recipe with ingredients and steps, keeps a link to the original, and lets you drop it on Thursday's dinner.

Save a recipe from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube

  1. Share the post to Suppa

    From the post, open the iPhone share sheet and choose Suppa. Or copy the post's link, open Import Recipe from your recipe book, and paste it.

  2. Check what Suppa wrote down

    Suppa reads the caption, and the video itself when the caption isn't enough, then fills in the ingredients and steps. The recipe is saved to your recipe book with a View original link to where it came from: the post, or the recipe page it linked to.

  3. Put them on this week's plan

    Put a recipe on Tuesday, then tap to add its ingredients to your grocery list, grouped by aisle.

What Suppa does with a video

  • It looks for the creator's own recipe first. When the caption has no amounts, Suppa checks links in the caption and the creator's profile for their written recipe, so the amounts come from the person who made it.
  • It marks anything it had to estimate. If nobody says how much garlic, Suppa estimates and shows the amount with a ~, so you know which numbers to trust and which to adjust.
  • It turns down videos that aren't recipes. A video that never shows how to make the dish, or an ad, gets a short note saying there's no recipe, instead of a made-up one in your book.

What works best

  • TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube posts. Instagram posts and Reels, YouTube videos and Shorts, and TikToks all work.
  • Any recipe website. Share the page or paste its link. Recipe-site links don't count toward an import limit.
  • Screenshots and cookbook pages. Tap Import from Photo for a recipe saved as a picture.
  • Private or deleted posts can't be opened. Suppa will say so, and you can import the creator's recipe page or a screenshot instead.

Questions

Is saving recipes from TikTok free?

Yes. Video imports are free up to a monthly limit, and Suppa Plus raises it. When a post links to the creator's recipe page, Suppa imports that page instead, and it doesn't count toward the limit.

Does Suppa keep credit to the creator?

Every imported recipe keeps a View original link to its source: the post itself, or the creator's recipe page when the post linked to one.

Does it work on Android?

Yes, in your phone's browser. Sign in at suppa.cooking, copy the TikTok's link, and paste it into Save a recipe. There's no Suppa app for Android yet, so sharing straight from TikTok works only on iPhone.

Is Suppa free?

Yes. Importing from links, videos, and photos is free, and so are meal planning, grocery lists, shared plans, and Cook Mode. The free plan also includes a few Suppa Assistant messages a month. Suppa Plus adds far more, plus more video and photo imports each month. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month. If you're eligible for a free trial on iPhone, you'll see it before you subscribe.

Can my partner see the plan and the grocery list?

Yes, and it's free. Send them an invite link to a shared plan. You each sign in to your own account, see the same week and grocery list, and check things off as you shop, without a subscription.
