Belka Food is a recipe builder and social network for anyone who cooks professionally or simply cares about precision in the kitchen. The site recalculates a recipe for any number of servings or the weight of any ingredient, automatically works out calories/protein/fat/carbs and cost, tracks allergens, and keeps recipes in three languages — Russian, Norwegian and English. It suits chefs and catering businesses who need accurate cost breakdowns and production sheets; food bloggers who publish recipes and grow an audience; and everyday users who just want to cook from reliable recipes that automatically rescale to the number of servings they need. You can browse recipes without registering. An account is only needed to publish your own recipes, save favorites, follow authors and use the recipe builder.

The core features are free forever: creating and publishing recipes, automatic serving-size recalculation, nutrition facts, basic cost calculation, the meal planner, following authors, favorites. Pro unlocks professional tools: gross/net weight and waste % on every ingredient line, recipe components (reusable sub-recipes shared across multiple recipes), food cost % and sale price, exporting a production sheet to PDF and Excel, your own purchase prices for ingredients, event planning (banquets/catering), importing a recipe from a link on another website, one-click translation of recipes into the site's other languages, and access to the builder's AI assistant (build/edit a recipe by voice or text, recognize one from a photo — see the "AI assistant" section of this help center). Details and sign-up are on the Pricing page.

The home page is the recipe feed. At the top are category tiles (click to show only that category) and the search bar: it searches recipe titles and descriptions, ingredients and the author or channel name. Filters above the feed: cuisine, cooking time, calories per serving, diets (vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, healthy), “Without ingredient” (e.g. no onion) and “Without allergens” — hides recipes with the chosen allergens, and also recipes with no allergen data yet (to be safe). Filters can be combined; the “N recipes found” counter shows the result. Sorting: newest, popular, quick, cheap, top rated. The site language (RU/NO/EN) is switched in the header — each language has its own recipe feed.

At the bottom right of every page is the 💬 button. It opens the AI assistant: ask in any language how to do something on the site (create a recipe, work out the cost, get Pro, withdraw money) — it answers from this help and links to the articles. If the assistant does not know the answer or the question needs our team (a bug, payment, account), a “Write to support” button appears. Write your message — we receive your conversation with the assistant along with it, so we do not have to ask again. The answer comes by email. You can write to support without registering by giving your name and email, and also from the “Support” page. The assistant is free, with a daily limit on questions. We analyze questions to the assistant to improve the site and the help.

The Content Factory is a separate Belka Food service that makes videos automatically: it writes a script, voices it, picks footage or has the AI draw it, edits with subtitles and music and publishes to YouTube, TikTok and Telegram. It has studios with a presenter, AI bloggers, cartoons and series with consistent characters, and a scheduled autopilot. The service is in beta: first submit an application on the access page; after approval, get site Pro (opens the free Content Factory tier) or any Content Factory tier. Details are in the site menu (“Content Factory”) and in the help inside the panel.
