FAQ
Questions about making an online cookbook
What is an online cookbook maker?
An online cookbook maker lets you build your own cookbook on your phone or computer instead of in a drawer of clippings. In CookBird you add recipes from websites and TikTok, organize them with categories and tags, and cook from them on any device.
How do I make my own cookbook online?
Create a free CookBird account and paste the link of any recipe, from a food blog or a TikTok video. CookBird turns it into a clean recipe in your cookbook. Type in the recipes you know by heart, then organize everything with categories and tags.
Can I add recipes from any website and from TikTok?
Yes. Paste a link from a recipe website or a TikTok video and CookBird imports the ingredients and steps, and every step keeps its own photo. It uses AI to read recipes, which is why imports come out consistent and reliable instead of messy.
Is CookBird free?
Yes. A free account includes 10 recipes, meal planning, shopping lists and sharing, and on Android and iOS the AI runs on your device so importing on your phone costs nothing. Premium removes the recipe limits.
Can I translate recipes and switch between metric and imperial?
Yes. Recipes can be translated automatically into the language you prefer, and you can convert units from metric to imperial and back with one tap.
Can I scale a recipe to more or fewer servings?
Yes. Double a recipe, halve it or set any serving size, and the ingredient amounts update.
Does CookBird show nutrition for my recipes?
Yes. Calories and macros per serving are calculated from the ingredients of each recipe.
Does the screen stay on while I cook?
Yes. The recipe page stays on while you cook, so you can follow the steps with messy hands.
Can I share my cookbook with family or friends?
Yes. Share your recipes with the people you cook for and they can use them in their meals and logging. You can also publish a recipe to the community, so anyone can browse it and save it.
Can I plan meals and make a shopping list from my cookbook?
Yes. Add recipes to a meal plan, then turn the plan into a shopping list with items sorted by aisle. Lists can be edited by several people at the same time, live.
Can I track calories with it too?
Yes. Search products, scan a barcode or a nutrition label, log the meals you eat, set weight goals, and CookBird calculates your BMI and suggests ways to reach your goals.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. CookBird is available for Android, iOS and the web, with the same cookbook on all of them.
