Recipes from YouTube
YouTube Shorts, long tutorials, cooking channels: paste the URL and get a structured recipe without watching 15 minutes of video.
A YouTube cooking video lasts 12 minutes for 8 useful steps. The rest is the intro, the sponsor and the tasting. Zeste reads the transcript and keeps what you need to cook.
It works for Shorts as well as long videos. If the description already contains the ingredient list, it's used; otherwise Zeste rebuilds the list from what's said.
What Zeste does for you
- YouTube Shorts and regular videos
- Automatic audio transcription
- Prep and cooking times extracted
- Works with meal planning
