This is similar to how other popular recipe-saving apps work, like Whisk or Paprika, for instance. Pestle will automatically import the recipe, including the list of ingredients and instructions.

The app, from indie developer Will Bishop, also helps you plan meals, create shopping lists, keep up with new recipes from creators and even cook hands-free or with friends and family remotely over Apple’s SharePlay feature for FaceTime.
