Built a cooking app that doesn't just save TikTok/IG/YouTube recipes — it translates them into 7 languages 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 🇺🇦

I'm a home cook, and I cook at home a lot. Many things I cook for the first time give me real panic attacks, so I often turned to AI chat for help to explain how and what to do better. But every single time, I had to bring it up to speed on what I was cooking. And the recipes it generated became one-offs they just got lost in the chat history.

I also saved a lot of recipes from Instagram, but usually cooked maybe one out of fifty. The rest just got lost and became clutter in my saved tab. Plus I'm not a native speaker, so quickly understanding and remembering a recipe is hard for me.

That's why I decided to build FOODIE to solve all of these problems for myself.

Some of what FOODIE can do:

• Import from any source — social networks (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram), websites, or a photo of grandma's cookbook
• FOODIE speaks 7 languages (English 🇺🇸 , Ukrainian 🇺🇦, German 🇩🇪, French 🇫🇷, Italian 🇮🇹, Spanish 🇪🇸, Portuguese 🇵🇹) — a French TikTok recipe lands in your Spanish app already translated.
• The AI chef knows a recipe you saved — ask how to cook it better, swap a missing ingredient, make it meatless, or invent a medieval feast.
• Designed to feel like the cookbook on your grandmother's shelf — beige, terracotta, Playfair Display.
• I made 700 watercolor ingredient images so the app feels like a real cookbook in your hands.
• And of course — a smart grocery list (organized by ingredient or recipe) and a calendar for meal planning.

Free to start with 5 recipes, then $2.99/month or $24.99/year for unlimited.

I want cooking to be pure joy — and even the most complex dish to feel like an exciting adventure.

Would love your honest feedback to keep making the app better.
Honestly, growing FOODIE is really hard =)

Thanks!
