Preserve your family’s culinary heritage — recipes, memories, and the people behind them.
“You remember that cookie Grandma used to make for Christmas — the one with the fig in the center? I wonder where that recipe is.”
That question, asked at a holiday table, is where this app started. The answer was always the same: “I have the recipe card somewhere. I’ll find it and bring it next time.” But next time might be Thanksgiving. Or next Christmas. And by then, the moment had passed.
It wasn’t just the recipe that was lost in the waiting — it was the story. The handwriting of someone no longer with us. The red stain from the Jello mishap in 1987. The version scrawled on the back of an envelope that nobody can quite read.
With Family Recipe Book, the answer is always “I’ve got it — let me share it with you right now.”
Everything your family needs — in one place.
Collaborate, adjust, and preserve recipes together — from anywhere, at any time.
Link recipes to your family tree and discover that Karen was your Dad’s cousin on his step-brother’s side.
Scan recipe cards and let the app help identify — and preserve — who wrote what.
Organize meals, events, and gatherings with the recipes you love.
Family Recipe Book is designed to live at the intersection of family social network, genealogy tree, and recipe organizer — a single place where food and family history belong together. Future versions will connect families across the platform, helping you discover shared branches and relationships you didn’t know existed.
The app is built to scale with your family’s needs — from a single person who just wants a tidy place to keep their recipes, all the way to a large extended family spread across multiple households collaborating on generations of culinary history. The right tool for the right need.
Free accounts are a great place to start — explore the app, build your collection, and get a feel for what’s possible. Paid accounts unlock the full range of features for families who want to go deeper. And account owners — whether that’s a head of household, a matriarch, a patriarch, or simply whoever stepped up — can invite other account owners to connect their collections and build something larger together.
Simple or complex, there’s a fit here for every family. Some of what’s described is still being built. But the vision is complete — and every feature being added serves it.
