2 – Purpose of the service
Zeste is an online application (SaaS) published by Start-Win, available at https://zeste.cooking. It allows users to import recipes from links (websites, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.), photos or text files, to automatically extract their ingredients and steps using artificial intelligence, to organize them in a personal cookbook, to share them and to use them in cooking mode (in particular on mobile and tablet).
Using the service requires creating a user account. Some features may require connecting to third-party services or accessing content hosted on external platforms. The terms of use of these third-party services continue to apply alongside this legal notice.
Zeste is a service published by Start-Win, as are Social by Start-Win, SanoRDV and Quicklink.fr.
