Preserving old and new recipes for the future
Three ways in, one personal cookbook
The recipes that
make you happy
every day
A great cookbook isn't just old handwritten cards or just modern bookmarks — it's both. Bring them in any way you like; we'll keep them in one place to share, cook from, and print.

How it works
Four steps from
recipe ideas
to your own book.
STEP 1
Add a recipe
Scan a handwritten card, paste a link from the web, or type one you know by heart.
STEP 2
Build a cookbook
Drop recipes into one of your books. Cover, palette, fonts, voice notes — make it unmistakably yours.
STEP 3
Cook from it
Kitchen View blows the text up massive, locks the screen awake, and listens for 'Next Step'.
STEP 4
Share or print
10-digit invite codes, public directory, or order a real book through Lulu print-on-demand.
Kitchen-safe
Cook without
touching the screen.
Kitchen View blows the text up massive, locks the screen awake, and listens for "Next Step." Flour-friendly!
See it in actionVoice Assist
Say 'Next Step' — hands free with flour-covered fingers.
Smart Timers
'Simmer for 10 min' becomes a tappable countdown.
Substitute ingredient
Intelligent AI replacement to perfect the recipe.
Shopping list & pantry
Cook it, tick it,
never buy twice.
Every recipe has an "Add to shopping list" button. Items merge across recipes, group by supermarket aisle, and skip anything you always have. Buy pantry staples direct on Amazon, then export the list to your phone, PDF or email in one tap.
Open your shopping listAisle-grouped list
Fresh, meat, dairy, baking, pantry — sorted the way you actually shop.
Cross-recipe merging
Two recipes use butter? One row, doubled quantity, with both sources.
Pantry pinning
Mark olive oil, salt, sugar as always-have — they skip future lists.
Amazon 1-tap buy
Pantry items link straight to Amazon UK, prefilled to the exact item.
Export anywhere
Save to phone as an image, PDF, email or copy to WhatsApp.
7-day drag-and-drop grid
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for every day of the week — reorder with a drag.
Pull from your books
Search across your own cookbooks, your Inbox, or the public Directory in one drawer.
Freeform meals
Type in "pizza night" or "leftovers" — no recipe needed for the meals that don't have one.
Sync to shopping list
One tap sends the whole week's ingredients to your shopping list, aisle-grouped and de-duped.
Partner plan link
Generate a read-only planner link so your household sees the week without needing an account.
Weekly meal planner
Plan the week,
shop it in a tap.
Drag any of your recipes (or a public one from the Directory) into a 7-day breakfast / lunch / dinner / snacks grid. Add freeform meals like "pizza night", mark leftovers so they skip the shopping list, then send the whole week's ingredients straight to your shopping list. Share a read-only planner link with your partner so you're never both wondering what's for dinner.
