Why do I have to tap each ingredient on Cookidoo when I cook a recipe from here?
Cookidoo's Created Recipes show step text and ask you to tap each ingredient name to see the amount, instead of showing it inline like official recipes.
Why do I have to tap each ingredient on Cookidoo when I cook a recipe from here?
Cookidoo's Created Recipes show step text and ask you to tap each ingredient name to see the amount, instead of showing it inline like official recipes.
When you publish through Adapt My Recipe, the recipe lands in your own Cookidoo account under My Recipes → Created Recipes, private to you, only visible on your account.
Cookidoo handles Created Recipes a little differently from its own official recipes:
- Official Cookidoo recipes show ingredient amounts inline as you cook each step.
- Created Recipes (yours and ours) show the step text and ask you to tap each ingredient name to see its amount.
That's how Cookidoo built the Created Recipes feature, not something we control, and it applies to every Created Recipe regardless of who built it.
Our converter works around this by putting one weighable ingredient on its own step, so a single tap brings up everything you need at that moment.

Is it free?
Yes, the recipes shared on this site are free. Adapting your own recipe costs a small amount per conversion to cover AI and server costs.
Is it free?
Yes, the recipes shared on this site are free. Adapting your own recipe costs a small amount per conversion to cover AI and server costs.
The recipes I've already published here on the site are free. Browse them, cook them, push them to your Cookidoo account, all at no charge.
Adapting your own recipe (paste a URL, PDF, or photo and have it converted to Thermomix format) costs a small amount per conversion. That covers the AI processing and server bill. There's no subscription, you pay only for what you adapt, and your first credits are usually free or discounted.
If the cost ever feels off, tell me. I'm not trying to make money on this, just keep the lights on.
Does this work with TM5, TM6, TM7, or TMF?
Most recipes target TM6 and work on TM7. TM5 is supported where the recipe uses only TM5-compatible modes. TMF (Thermomix Friend) coming soon.
Does this work with TM5, TM6, TM7, or TMF?
Most recipes target TM6 and work on TM7. TM5 is supported where the recipe uses only TM5-compatible modes. TMF (Thermomix Friend) coming soon.
Each recipe lists the devices it's been verified for, on the recipe page and as a badge on every recipe card.
- TM6 / TM7: nearly every recipe works. TM7 is forward-compatible with TM6 recipes.
- TM5: supported when the recipe avoids TM6-only features (high-temp modes, dough-mode improvements, sous-vide, etc.).
- TMF (Thermomix Friend): device support is on the roadmap. For now, recipes assume the main bowl.
If you publish to your Cookidoo account, the recipe shows in your library on every Thermomix tied to that account.
How does the conversion work?
You paste a recipe (URL, text, PDF, or photo). We extract ingredients and steps, convert measurements to grams and milliliters, group steps by bowl action, and add Thermomix speeds, times, and temperatures.
How does the conversion work?
You paste a recipe (URL, text, PDF, or photo). We extract ingredients and steps, convert measurements to grams and milliliters, group steps by bowl action, and add Thermomix speeds, times, and temperatures.
You give us a recipe in any of these forms:
- URL — we fetch the page and extract the recipe content
- Pasted text — straight from a cookbook or notebook
- PDF — printed recipes, scanned cookbooks
- Photo — pictures of handwritten cards, magazines, family notebooks
Behind the scenes, we:
- Extract the ingredients and steps
- Convert measurements to grams and milliliters where it matters
- Group steps by bowl action (add → mix → cook → transfer → clean)
- Add Thermomix speeds, times, and temperatures in the format Cookidoo expects
- Sanity check for bowl capacity, realistic times, and order of operations
The result is a recipe you can review, edit, and publish to your own Cookidoo account in one click.
