Turn Instagram Reels Into Recipes You Can Cook

Save Instagram recipes the moment you find them. Paste any Reel or Post link into Nomrade and get a real recipe — ingredients, steps, macros — automatically.

The Problem

Instagram saves are where recipes go to die

You see a 22-second Reel of a perfect chili crisp egg. You hit save. The next time you open Instagram, the algorithm shows you something else — and that Reel is buried in a folder of 187 others, none of which have written ingredients.

Nomrade fixes the format gap. Every Reel and Post becomes a real recipe with ingredients, quantities, and ordered steps you can scroll through one-handed at the stove. The chili crisp egg you saved on a Tuesday is on the dinner table by Wednesday.

How it works

STEP 01

Copy the Instagram link

On any Reel or Post, tap the share icon and choose Copy link. On iOS you can also use the Share Sheet to send it straight to Nomrade.

STEP 02

Paste it into Nomrade

Nomrade pulls the caption, transcribes the voiceover with Whisper, runs OCR on visible text, then assembles a clean recipe in about ten seconds.

STEP 03

Save and cook

Review the auto-generated recipe, edit anything you want, and save. Cook it later with hands-free step mode or log it as a meal — macros included.

More Than An Importer

From Reel to dinner to food log

A lot of apps stop at the import. Nomrade keeps going. Every Instagram recipe you save is connected to your food diary, weekly meal plan, and food passport — so a Reel from Sunday night becomes Wednesday's dinner, logged in seconds with calories and protein already counted.

It works the same for TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Any short-form cooking video becomes a real, reusable recipe.
