How to turn TikTok and Reel recipes into a cookbook

Last updated mykitchen.bio

Your best recipes are trapped in a feed. A recipe video gets its views in the first few days, then the algorithm moves on — but the recipe itself doesn't expire. Turning your short-form videos into a cookbook gives that work a second life: a product with your name on it that followers can buy, keep, and actually cook from.

What do I need to start?

A link. Paste a TikTok, Reel, or Short into mykitchen.bio and it becomes a structured, editable recipe draft — ingredients, steps, servings, timing. If a video link can't be read cleanly, paste the caption or transcript, or upload the video file. No account connection, ever: nothing posts for you, nothing is imported behind your back.

How does a video become a recipe?

The draft is built from your content — your wording, your quantities, your steps. You review and edit every line before it goes anywhere (“a glug of olive oil” becomes a real measurement only if you approve it). Nothing publishes until you say so.

How many videos make a cookbook?

Fewer than you think. Ten to fifteen recipes around one theme — weeknight dinners, meal-prep staples, your most-requested dishes — is a real, sellable cookbook. Most creators already have that sitting in their top posts. Group them into chapters, pick a cover, set a price, and your cookbook lives at your own link: mykitchen.bio/you.

What does it cost?

Your first recipe from a short video is free — no credit card. After that, a video recipe uses 4 recipe units and a text recipe uses 1; buy recipes as you go, or subscribe for a monthly allowance (see pricing →). When you sell, the all-in fee is 10% on Pay-as-you-go and Starter, 7.5% on Pro — standard card processing included.
