Tastetale: organize recipes easier and faster with AI.
1 Snap & recognize recipes instantly.
2 Discover cooking inspiration and menus.
3 Meals plan & share with family.
Open Tastetale and start with one dish—slowly build your cooking into a recipe collection of your own. You can add recipes manually. Or, if you’re a lazy cook, just take a photo of a dish and quickly recognize the name, ingredients, steps, taste, cooking time, difficulty, and calories. In a few taps, it’s saved to your recipe box—no more tedious typing of every ingredient and step. Every dish can become a sticker, saved to your calendar and cooking wall (use the Home Screen widget to show this month’s saves and cooking overview, log homemade recipes and baking formulas, and track your cooking). You’ll also get a weekly cooking report—a gentle reminder that this week, you actually made quite a few delicious things.
