Questions

Family recipe card, answered

Will it change the recipe?
No word is changed. The card stays in its own handwriting with its own spelling and crossed-out lines, and a cookbook page sets the same words in type. In our runs Choclate Chip Cookys kept its spelling, Aunt Dot's crossed-out cup of sugar stayed crossed out, and a card in Hindi and English kept both scripts. Read it against the card before you print.
Is it a recipe card template?
No. It works from a card someone already wrote by hand. For a family cookbook, run each card as a Cookbook page and print the pages together.
How big can I print it?
A keepsake print comes back at 1856 by 2304 pixels, enough for an 8 by 10 inch print at about 230 dpi. A cookbook page is 1792 by 2400, a sharp 6 by 8 inches.
What does Family recipe card make?
A photo of a handwritten family recipe, restored and made into a keepsake: a print to frame, a cookbook page, a tea towel or a cutting board, every word kept as written.
What do I need to bring?
A photo of the handwritten card, flat, in good light, with every word readable.
How does it work?
Take a photo of the handwritten card, flat and in good light, with every word readable. Pick what it becomes and add a title line like Nana's Apple Cake, 1962. Add a photo of who wrote it, or of the dish, if you like. Get it back restored in under half a minute.
What can I choose?
Make it into: Keepsake print, Cookbook page, Framed in the kitchen, Tea towel, Cutting board or Surprise me. Leave any of them to Surprise me.
How much does it cost?
From $0.25 an image, and you see the exact price before you press go. A run that fails costs nothing, there is no subscription, and you can start free without a card.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Can I run it from code?
Yes. Developers run it as leap/recipe-card through the Leap API, at the same price, with the same choices.

It runs on Nano Banana 2.1, with the prompting done for you. Rather write your own? Open a model's page and start from there.
