Import your recipes from Paprika, Mela or Crouton

Say "import my Paprika recipes". Your AI gives you a link, you drop the export file, and every recipe lands in a private cookbook named after the file, with its photo and your stars.

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT

We keep our recipes in Paprika. Bring them into ask.recipes.

What happens

  1. A private cookbook, named after the file. Family Recipes.paprikarecipes becomes the cookbook Family Recipes. Only you and your household see it.
  2. Stars, notes and photos come along. Paprika stars become your rating.
  3. Nutrition is estimated. From the ingredients, over the next minutes.

One import, as served

A Paprika export of 12 recipes, imported on 31 October 2026 into a test account. The agent's wording varies; counts, times and stars are as returned.
