Real User Story
"I had Paprika for years and loved it for blog recipes. But now all the best recipes are on TikTok. I was manually typing them into Paprika until I gave up. With ReelRecall, I just save the video and can search for 'air fryer' or 'Korean' to find what I want. I keep Paprika for my old recipes but use ReelRecall for everything new."
