A Family Cookbook recipe for Calico Beans, with a photo of the dish, prep and cook times

More than a recipe box.

A recipe card tells you how. Family Cookbook keeps the who, the when and the why, too.

  • Recipes with a story

    Ingredients, steps, a photo of the finished dish — and the story of where it came from.

  • One cookbook, whole family

    Share a code and everyone adds their favourites to the same private cookbook.

  • Sorted by category

    Soups, mains, desserts and more — with the family favourites a tap away.

  • Shopping list

    Turn Sunday’s dinner into a list for the store, so nothing’s forgotten.

The story behind the dish

Some recipes come with a story. Keep both.

Add the note in the margin — who made it first, what it was served for, the secret nobody wrote down. Family stories sit right beside the recipe, so the next generation gets both.

The end of a recipe: numbered steps, then the family story behind the dish and a comments section

Made for families. Not for followers.

Recipe sites are full of strangers and ten-paragraph intros. This one is just your family.

What’s in it

  • Recipes with photos, notes and stories
  • A private cookbook your family joins by code
  • Categories, favourites and a shopping list
  • More than one cookbook, if your family needs it

What isn’t

  • Strangers’ recipes or public profiles
  • A life story before the ingredients
  • Selling your family’s recipes or data
  • “Can you text me that recipe again?”

Adding a new recipe: title, category, prep and cook times, and ingredients

One family. More than one cookbook.

Keep a cookbook for each side of the family, or one just for the holidays. Admins manage who’s in, and recipes stay put even when someone leaves.

From recipe to shopping list.

Planning a family dinner? Add what you need to the shopping list, and it’s all there when you’re standing in the grocery aisle.
