Is RecipeBox – Save Your Recipes! safe?

Low risk

RecipeBox automatically sends detected recipe-page URLs from mobile pages to api.recipebox.com.

On small screens, the extension injects a mobile popup that checks whether the current page looks like a recipe. When it detects a recipe page, it posts the active tab URL to RecipeBox's API using the user's RecipeBox token, without requiring a Save button click.
