Our Mission
Chef Cecil combines the warmth of family recipes with cutting-edge AI technology, helping you digitize grandmother's handwritten recipe cards while providing medical-grade nutrition guidance.
Chef Cecil was born from a simple truth: our most treasured recipes are often stored in fragile, fading handwritten cards that risk being lost forever.
We combined best-in-class OCR technology (supporting 30+ languages and handwriting recognition) with AI-powered recipe intelligence from Anthropic's Claude API to create the most accurate recipe digitization platform available.
But we didn't stop there. Working with certified dietitians, we added medical-grade nutrition analysis following ADA, AHA, and KDOQI guidelines, making Chef Cecil the only platform that helps you manage chronic conditions while enjoying family favorites.
Today, Chef Cecil serves thousands of home cooks and healthcare professionals, preserving culinary traditions while promoting health and wellness.
