Tell CookNest the recipe and let it write it for you
Say the recipe out loud, however it comes out. CookNest writes it up with its ingredients and steps.
“Okay, so you soften an onion and a carrot, chopped really small, then in goes a pound of ground beef and, once it’s browned, a big can of tomatoes. Then low heat for an hour, yeah? Otherwise it just doesn’t taste right.”

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a recipe by voice?
Do I have to say the recipe in a specific order?
No. Talk like you’d explain it to someone. Even if you repeat yourself or change your mind mid-sentence, CookNest keeps what matters.
Can I record someone else explaining the recipe?
Yes, and it’s one of its best uses. Record your parents or grandparents as they tell it, then keep the recording too, so you can play it again.
Can I use a voice message I already have?
Yes. Share a WhatsApp voice message with CookNest, or pick a saved audio file from the dictation screen.
Can I correct the recipe after dictating it?
Yes. Edit it by hand, or tap the microphone inside the recipe and say what to change. CookNest touches only what it needs to.
Is dictating recipes free?
Voice dictation is part of CookNest PRO. For free, you can type your recipes in yourself and import 3 a week from links.
