The Story Behind ReelToMeal

I'm a full-time dad who loves cooking. Over the years, I've saved hundreds of recipe videos from Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube - those quick cooking reels from talented chefs that make you want to rush to the kitchen and try them immediately. But there was a problem: I kept losing track of them. Scrolling through endless saved posts trying to find that one pasta recipe or the perfect cookie tutorial became frustrating and time-consuming.

That's when I realized I needed a better solution. As someone who's tech-savvy and passionate about both cooking and problem-solving, I built ReelToMeal - a web-based tool that extracts recipes from social media videos and turns them into organized, easy-to-follow recipe cards. No more rewatching entire videos just to remember the ingredient ratios or cooking temperature.
