Import from a URL
Paste any recipe link — food blogs, cooking sites, YouTube descriptions — and MealMain pulls out the ingredients, quantities, and steps automatically. No copy-pasting, no manual entry.
AI Feature
AI Recipe Creator
Import any recipe from a URL, photo, screenshot, or description in seconds. MealMain's AI pulls out the ingredients, quantities, and steps — and attaches a full nutrition breakdown so the recipe is ready to plan with straight away.
Four Ways to Add a Recipe
Whether you find recipes online, in cookbooks, or on social media — there's a fast way to get them into MealMain.
Import from a Photo
Take a photo of a recipe book page, a handwritten card, or screenshot a social media post. The AI reads the image and converts it into a structured recipe with nutrition attached.
Generate from a Description
Tell MealMain what you want — the ingredients in your fridge, a cuisine style, a calorie target, or just a meal idea — and it builds a complete recipe from scratch, ready to save and plan with.
Paste Any Recipe Text
Copy a recipe from anywhere — a message, an email, a document — paste it in, and MealMain structures it with ingredients, quantities, steps, and a nutrition summary.
What Happens After You Import
Every imported or generated recipe is saved to your personal library — private to your account unless you choose to publish it. From there you can add it to your weekly planner with a specific serving size and it will contribute to your daily nutrition totals straight away.
Before saving, you get a chance to review the recipe and make any changes — swap an ingredient, adjust a quantity, or rename a step. Once it looks right, save it and it's part of your library permanently.
Verified creators can also publish imported recipes to their public profile, where followers and other users can discover, save, and plan with them.
