About ChefsClips
A better way to cook from YouTube — built out of real necessity.
Why I Built ChefsClips
Last year I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. It explained years of health issues, but it also meant a massive overhaul of how I eat.
I'm a full-time software consultant, a dad to a two-year-old, and my wife and I both work. Before the diagnosis, we leaned hard on delivery apps and fast food. Afterward, most of that just wasn't safe anymore.
So I turned to YouTube to learn how to actually cook. The content is incredible — but the process of cooking from a video is awful. You pause, rewind, scribble ingredients on whatever's nearby, lose your place, and eventually just give up and make the same thing again.
ChefsClips is the tool I built for myself first. I've been using it in my own kitchen throughout development, and it genuinely changed how I cook. It takes the mental load out of the equation so you can just… cook.
What About the Creators?
From the start, I knew ChefsClips had to work with creators, not around them. The app uses official channels provided by Google to understand video content — no scraping, no shortcuts.
Every time you cook with ChefsClips, you're watching the creator's original video. Step-by-step instructions are always shown alongside their content. Every recipe view is a view for the creator. ChefsClips doesn't replace cooking videos — it makes them more useful, which means more people actually cook from them.
This matters to me. I wanted to build something that's good for home cooks and good for the creators who teach them.
