Chef Cecil

Recipe Saver Bookmarklet

Save recipes from any website to your Chef Cecil account with one click. No more losing track of recipes you want to try!

Mobile Users: Use Share Instead

Bookmarklets don't work on mobile browsers. Instead, install Chef Cecil as an app and use your phone's Share button to save recipes instantly.

1

Install Chef Cecil on your phone

iPhone (Safari):

Tap Share → "Add to Home Screen"

Android (Chrome):

Tap menu (3 dots) → "Add to Home Screen" or "Install App"

2

Visit any recipe page in your browser

AllRecipes, Food Network, Pinterest, food blogs, etc.

3

Tap Share → Chef Cecil

→Chef Cecil

The recipe will open in Chef Cecil, ready to save!

Why this works:When you install Chef Cecil as an app, it registers with your phone's share system. Any URL you share will be sent directly to Chef Cecil for import.

Desktop: Get the Bookmarklet

1

Drag this button to your bookmarks bar:

Loading...

Tip: If you don't see your bookmarks bar, press Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+B (Mac)

2

Visit any recipe page on the web (Pinterest, AllRecipes, Food Network, food blogs, etc.)

3

Click the "Save to Chef Cecil" bookmark to import the recipe to your account!

Alternative: Manual Setup

If dragging doesn't work, you can create the bookmarklet manually:

  1. Right-click your bookmarks bar and select "Add bookmark"
  2. Name it "Save to Chef Cecil"
  3. Paste this code in the URL field:
javascript:(function(){var url=encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);var title=encodeURIComponent(document.title);window.open('https://www.chefcecil.com/save?url='+url+'&title='+title,'_blank');})();

How It Works

When you click the bookmarklet on a recipe page, Chef Cecil will:

  • Read the recipe's Schema.org structured data (used by most recipe sites)
  • Extract the title, ingredients, instructions, cooking times, and more
  • Let you preview and edit before saving to your account
  • Store the original source URL so you can always go back

Note:This works best on recipe sites that use Schema.org markup (most major cooking sites do). If a site doesn't support it, you can still manually enter the recipe.
