Recipe source inventory
Mixed-source family recipe inventory
Inventory recipes across cards, books, emails, and saved links before choosing what to scan, transcribe, request, or leave out of a private family cookbook.
What the handoff includes
- Source-category inventory
- Keep, request, and skip labels
- Missing-context questions
- Manual collection sequence
Workflow
- Count source groups without copying recipe contents.
- Record approximate volume, owner, access status, and family priority.
- Choose a small, family-approved first batch.
- Collect or scan materials manually through authorized private channels.
Review safeguards
- Do not open accounts, import saved posts, copy copyrighted recipes, or contact relatives from the planner.
- Do not paste recipe text, private emails, names, account details, or inaccessible links into the inventory.
- Confirm ownership, permission, and source terms before copying or sharing any material.
Service boundary
FamilyRecipeLegacyAI helps organize, transcribe, and format private family recipes. It does not provide nutrition, allergy, food safety, legal, or publishing advice. Families should review every ingredient, measure, name, and story before sharing or printing.
When paid recipe book prep is worth it
Buy the $49 starter after the free brief has a small sample or first 8-12 pages, enough context for OCR review, chapter planning, measurement flags, and one family reviewer. Use the $149 full prep when the family needs a fuller private booklet handoff with source mapping, permissions, proof tracking, contributor notes, archive structure, and private sharing planning. Skip payment if you need scanning, perfect OCR, physical printing, public publishing, file-permission changes, messages sent, nutrition, allergy, food-safety, copyright, legal, publishing, or printer advice, or guaranteed transcription, print quality, delivery, refunds, privacy, approval, sales, or revenue.
Does this import recipes from email, Pinterest, or social apps?
No. It prepares a source-level inventory only; authorized people must review and collect materials manually.
Should every saved recipe go into the family cookbook?
No. Start with family-approved, meaningful recipes and record uncertain or third-party items for later rights and relevance review.
