Importing recipes

Dillr can import recipes from almost anywhere — a website, a cookbook page, a screenshot, or just a description you type out. Every import gets turned into a clean, structured recipe in your library.

From a website

  1. Copy the URL of any recipe page
  2. In Dillr, tap + and choose Import from URL
  3. Paste the link

Dillr reads the page and extracts the recipe — title, ingredients, instructions, cook times, and servings. You get a preview to review and edit before saving.

Works with most recipe sites. If a site blocks extraction, try the photo method instead.

From a photo or cookbook

  1. Tap + and choose Scan recipe
  2. Point your camera at the recipe page, or select a photo from your library
  3. You can scan multiple pages for longer recipes

Dillr reads the text from the image and builds a recipe from it. Great for cookbooks, magazine clippings, or handwritten recipe cards.

From text

  1. Tap + and choose Import from text
  2. Type or paste the recipe — it doesn’t need to be perfectly formatted

Even a rough description like “chicken thighs, soy sauce, honey, garlic, 200C for 40 minutes” is enough for Dillr to structure into a full recipe.

After importing

Every imported recipe lands in a preview where you can:

  • Edit the title, ingredients, and instructions
  • Adjust servings and cook times
  • Add notes or tags

Once you’re happy, tap Save and it’s in your library — ready to cook, plan meals around, or share with your kitchen.

Tips

  • Recipes stay in their original language. If you import a recipe in Italian or Swedish, Dillr keeps it that way.
  • Dillr adapts to your kitchen. After saving, you can ask Dillr to adjust the recipe for your household’s dietary needs, swap ingredients for what’s in your pantry, or scale portions.
  • Import from Claude too. If you use Dillr with Claude, you can ask Claude to save recipes directly to your library from the conversation.
