MyCookbook turns every recipe you own into one living cookbook. Photograph a handwritten card, screenshot a recipe from anywhere, paste a link — the app reads the ingredients and steps into a clean, scalable recipe while keeping the original photo attached, handwriting and all.
Most home cooks and operators keep recipes in five places: a recipe box, a camera roll, saved posts, browser bookmarks, and one stained binder. When it's time to cook, the recipe you need is always in the other place. MyCookbook is the one place.
And because it's built by the ChefScale people, every recipe scales. Sunday dinner for 4 becomes Thanksgiving for 22 without a calculator — the batch math is done, unit conversions included.
Photograph the card; the ingredients and steps are read into a structured recipe. The original stays attached — the handwriting is the heirloom.
Screenshots, web pages, even recipe videos — paste it in and the recipe comes out clean. No ads, no life stories.
Serves 4 → serves 22 in one tap, with kitchen-smart unit conversion. Syncs with ChefScale on the paid tier.
Send any recipe to anyone — they open a clean page, no app required.
Organize into cookbooks — holidays, weeknights, the restaurant's specials — with search across everything.
Big type, screen stays awake, step by step. Made for a counter with flour on it.
A shoebox of a grandmother's handwritten cards, photographed in an afternoon. Every card becomes a searchable, scalable recipe — and the handwriting stays with each one, exactly as she wrote it.
Forty screenshots of recipes saved over two years, imported in batches. The camera roll goes back to being photos; the recipes become a cookbook.
The family gumbo feeds 6. This year it's 18 at the table. One tap — every quantity scaled, cups converted to quarts where it makes sense.
MyCookbook is published by ALSTIG INC , founded by Ben Mouton — a 14-year independent restaurant operator. Every app on the ALSTIG stack came from a problem hit during the run — the originals proven in service at Mouton's Bistro & Bar in Cedar Park, TX, which Ben ran for fourteen years before selling in 2026. Free to start. No platform contracts.
