One book for the whole family

The family recipe book that outlives the Notes app

Phones get upgraded, chats get deleted, and notebooks get lost in moves. Gather the family's recipes into one online book, then export a print-ready PDF for any local or online printer.

The problem

Where family recipes go to disappear

The food is unforgettable. The record of it, less so.

Buried in group chats

The good lasagna recipe is somewhere in a 400-message thread from 2022, sandwiched between a meme and a birthday emoji.

Scattered in notebooks

Three notebooks, a shoebox of index cards, and a margarine lid with measurements on it. None of them in the same house.

Living in one memory

Grandma measures with her eyes and seasons with her heart. Wonderful — until the day nobody wrote it down.

The fix

One book, and everyone has it

One book, one home

Every recipe the family cares about, gathered into a living online cookbook with a print-ready PDF for your chosen printer.

A chapter per branch

Create chapters for different branches, households, meals, or occasions, then choose which recipes belong in each one.

Everyone gets the link

Send one link or a QR code for the fridge and the whole family reads the same book. Anyone who wants paper can use the print-ready PDF.

In real kitchens
