How to save TikTok recipes (and actually cook them)
Open the video, tap Share and pick Eatpace. We read the caption, the creator’s comments and the video itself, and turn it into a recipe in your Cookbook with amounts, steps and a link back to the creator. From there it can be one of your next dinners.

Saved is the start. Dinner is the point.
A TikTok you save doesn’t vanish into a folder you never open. It’s a recipe you can plan, shop for and cook.
It lands in your Cookbook

Its ingredients join one list for your next dinners, by aisle, with the same items added up. Oil and salt count as in stock.
What works, and what may not.
We read the caption, the creator’s comments and the video. Whatever comes in, you can edit every line.
Works well
- A recipe written in the caption
- Amounts in a pinned comment or a reply from the creator
- A link to the creator’s own site, in the caption or their bio
- A recipe that’s only said or shown, in videos up to 10 minutes
- Photo slideshows
- Videos in another language, translated to English
May not come through
- An amount that’s only shown or spokenIf it’s never written down, we may miss it, or fill it in and tell you so. Check it in a tap.
- “Comment RECIPE” posts that answer by messageWe look for the recipe on the creator’s own site, but we can’t read direct messages.
- Private or removed videosThere’s nothing left for us to read.
Can I save a TikTok recipe if there’s no written recipe?
Yes. Most TikTok recipes are in the caption or a comment from the creator. When they aren’t written anywhere, we watch the video for what’s said and shown. An amount that’s never said or written may be missing, and we tell you when we filled one in.
Can I save TikToks I bookmarked before?
Yes. Open the video from wherever you kept it in TikTok, tap Share and pick Eatpace.
Does a TikTok count toward my free imports?
Yes, a TikTok is a video import. Free has 3 video and photo imports in total, not per month; Pro has no limit. Saving the same TikTok again doesn’t count twice.
Do you keep the TikTok video?
No. We read it to write the recipe and don’t keep the video. Open original takes you back to it on TikTok.
Who can see the TikTok recipes I save?
Only you. They’re in your Cookbook, never in Discover, anyone else’s search or on this website.
What if it says “link in bio”?
If the creator’s bio links to their site, we look for the recipe there, and only use a match with the dish’s name. A wrong recipe is worse than none, so we leave it out when we’re not sure.
