Recipe Not Extracting Correctly

What to do when Nibbley's AI doesn't extract a recipe properly or fails to find recipe content.

Last updated: 1 April 2026

If Nibbley isn’t extracting a recipe correctly, here are some steps to resolve the issue.

Common Causes

The page doesn’t contain a recipe

Some links may not contain recipe content (e.g., a general blog post, news article, or non-cooking video). The AI needs cooking-related content to extract a recipe.

Private or restricted content

If the source is a private Instagram account or behind a paywall, Nibbley can’t access the content.

Poor internet connection

Extraction requires a stable internet connection. Try again on WiFi.

Unusual recipe format

Some websites use non-standard formatting that makes extraction harder.

How to Fix

Try Again

Sometimes a second attempt resolves temporary issues. Tap Retry Extraction.

If you found the recipe through a social media post that links to a blog, try using the direct blog URL instead.

Manual Entry

If AI extraction isn’t working:

  1. Tap Add Recipe Manually
  2. Copy and paste the recipe text from the source
  3. Nibbley will try to structure it automatically
  4. Edit as needed and save
