You found the recipe. Now find it again under the ads, the newsletter popup, the autoplay video, and six paragraphs about a trip to Tuscany. Readable Recipes is a Safari extension that turns any recipe page into a clean, readable card: title, photo, times, yield, ingredients, and numbered steps. Nothing else. HOW IT WORKS • Open a recipe in Safari • Tap the whisk button that appears on the page • Cook from a page you can actually read MADE FOR COOKING • Big type and clear steps, easy to follow with flour on your hands • Light and dark themes, or follow your device • Auto-open on recipe pages if you want zero taps • Works on virtually any site that publishes standard recipe data PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no tracking, no identifiers.
