About Social Spork

The free way to save and discover trending recipes from social media

Our Mission

Social Spork makes it easy to save, organize, and discover recipes from your favorite Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube creators—completely free, forever.

We believe recipe discovery should be:

  • Free: No subscriptions, no paywalls, unlimited saves
  • Creator-friendly: Full attribution with links back to original content
  • Community-driven: Anyone can contribute by submitting recipes
  • Modern: Built for how people discover food today—through social media

The Problem We're Solving

You've been there: scrolling through Instagram at 2am, finding the perfect recipe video, saving it... then never finding it again. Or worse, paying $35/year just to save more than 8 recipes (looking at you, ReciMe).

Traditional recipe sites are full of old submissions with life stories before the recipe. Social media has become the new cookbook, but there's no good way to organize those discoveries.

Social Spork bridges that gap—giving you a permanent, searchable home for the recipes you love.
