What Link2Eat — Recipes from Videos does
Most home cooks now find recipes in short videos, and most of those videos never write the recipe down. Link2Eat fixes exactly that. You paste a link to a public cooking video from TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube or a Telegram channel, or forward the video itself, and the bot's AI pulls out the ingredient list with quantities, the step-by-step method and the author's tips. The result is saved as a recipe card in a personal cookbook that lives in your Telegram chat, so it is on every device where you use Telegram.
There is no app to install and no account to create. The developer's site, link2eat.app, links directly to the bot, publishes its prices and states that the bot never asks for passwords or touches your social-media accounts — it only processes the links you send. The interface is available in 14 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.
The catch is the price. New users get a 7-day trial with up to 20 recipes and videos up to 2 minutes, no card needed. After that the Home Cook plan costs €5 a month (100 recipes, 3-minute videos, cookbook search) and Chef costs €10 (500 recipes, 10-minute videos). If you only save a recipe now and then, the free bots in this list may be enough; if your saved-videos folder is overflowing, this is the most capable tool here.
