Generate a recipe

Describe a craving — "something cozy with chicken and not much cleanup" — and Sprig writes a complete recipe around it: photo, ingredients, steps, nutrition. The more you tell it, the better it cooks.

Family recipes deserve a good home. Write yours in with groups for ingredients and steps, add a photo — or let Sprig generate one — and it lives alongside everything else.

Recipe photo styles

Find it on the You page, under Recipe Photo Style. Standard is our richest, most editorial style; Fast is lighter and quicker — and the page shows the same dishes in both so you can judge for yourself.
