Your favorite cooks,
right in your kitchen.

Follow the food blogs, YouTube cooks and creators you love, and their new recipes land in Brasa, linked back to the original video or post. When it’s time to cook, Brasa gives you a prep checklist, then walks you through each step with just the ingredients that step needs, reading it out loud so you never have to touch the screen with messy hands.

It saves recipes from TikTok, Instagram, screenshots and cookbook pages too. No account, no ads, and your library is end-to-end encrypted.

New recipes from the cooks you follow

Follow a food blog, a YouTube channel or a Pinterest board. Found someone on TikTok or Instagram? Brasa finds their site or channel so you can follow that instead. Their new recipes show up in Your Sources, newest first, one tap from the original video or post.

You pick who’s in there. Brasa doesn’t recommend anything.

Every recipe credits the cook who made it and links back to them, so following someone in Brasa sends people their way.

A cook mode that cooks with you

Before you turn on the stove, Brasa lays out your mise en place: a prep checklist to work through. Then it’s one step at a time, in type you can read from across the counter, with that step’s ingredients and amounts right under it. Brasa Voice reads each step out loud and answers when you talk to it, so you can cook with flour on your hands and your phone propped out of the way. Timers keep running on your Lock Screen and the screen stays on.

Each step shows only what it uses.

Step 8 needs onion, peppers and black pepper, so those are the ingredients you see.

Brasa Voice

Cook without touching your screen.

Hands covered in dough or raw chicken? Turn on Auto-read and Brasa reads each step aloud, so you can follow along from across the kitchen. Say “next”, “repeat”, “how much butter?” or “set a timer for ten minutes” and it answers. The voice runs on your iPhone or iPad, so nothing you say is sent anywhere.

Halve it or double it

Change the servings and every amount follows: in the ingredients, in the steps and on the shopping list. ½ cup becomes ¼ cup, never 0.25.

Hi, I’m Andrew. I built Brasa because I wanted a better way to organize my recipes and follow my favorite chefs and creators across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

More than that, I wanted a recipe app that cooks with me: one that lays out the mise en place before I start, then walks me through each step with just the ingredients that step needs.

I hope you like Brasa. If something’s not right or there’s something you’d like it to do, email me at hello@brasa.recipes.

Common questions

What counts as a smart capture?

A cooking video, a photo of a cookbook page, a screenshot, or a web page that needs a little more work. Recipes from most major recipe sites import directly — those are unlimited on every plan and never touch your monthly allowance.

Does AI read my recipes?

Most of Brasa works right on your device. When a capture needs cloud AI, Brasa sends only the content required for that one request — never your name, email, or the rest of your library — and it isn't stored or used to train AI models. Your cookbook syncs end-to-end encrypted, so we couldn't read it if we wanted to. The details live in our privacy policy.

Does Brasa use Apple Intelligence?

Yes. On iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 and later), Brasa uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models to map each cooking step to its ingredients — entirely on the device, with no server round-trip. On other devices the same work runs through Brasa's cloud AI, with the same privacy rules as capture.

Can I use Brasa hands-free while cooking?

Yes. In Cook Mode, say “next”, “repeat”, “how much butter”, or “set a timer for ten minutes” and Brasa responds out loud with Brasa Voice, a natural neural voice that runs entirely on your device — your audio never leaves it. Brasa Voice speaks English at launch and downloads its voice once (about 330 MB — Wi-Fi recommended) the first time you turn it on. Spoken replies need iPhone 12 or later, or an A14-or-newer iPad (iPad Air 4th gen, iPad mini 6th gen, iPad 10th gen, or any M-series iPad Pro); voice commands work on all supported iPhones and iPads.

What happens when I hit 30 recipes on the free plan?

Nothing is taken away. Every recipe you've saved stays fully cookable — timers, scaling, and sync keep working. You just can't save new ones until you clear a spot or upgrade to Brasa Plus.

Can I bring my recipes from Paprika?

Yes — export your library from Paprika, share the file into Brasa, and the whole cookbook imports in one tap, photos included. It's part of Brasa Plus, and there's a step-by-step guide.

Is Brasa on Android or the web?

No — Brasa is built Apple-native for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with Lock Screen timers, widgets, and encrypted sync that depend on being deep in the platform.

What's the founder lifetime deal?

For the launch window only, $59.99 once unlocks Brasa Plus forever — every Plus feature, on every device, no subscription. When the window closes it's gone; annual and monthly plans continue as normal.
