Kitchen, by Love the Laus
Family recipes that never disappear
Photograph the recipe box. Kitchen types up every card and keeps the card itself, handwriting and all, in one place the whole family can cook from.
How it works
From a shoebox of cards to a cookbook
Most families get their whole box in on a Sunday afternoon.
Photograph the cards
Up to 100 photos at a time, fronts and backs. Kitchen reads each card and drafts the recipe. Free accounts get 50 cards; you check every one before it is saved.
Add the story
Who it came from, the year, the occasion. Record a voice memo so you can still hear Grandma explain step 4.
Share it with the family
Invite family to a cookbook with a link. Everyone can cook from it, and the people you choose can add their own.
What Kitchen does
Made for family recipes
Not another recipe blog. A private recipe box that keeps the people behind the recipes.
The handwriting stays
Every card photo stays with its recipe. The typed version is for cooking; the card is for keeping.
Fill it in for you
Snap a photo, paste a recipe, or just tell it out loud, and Kitchen fills in the ingredients and steps. Five free, unlimited on Kitchen Plus.
Save from anywhere
Paste a link from a food blog, Instagram or TikTok and Kitchen drafts the recipe from the page or the caption.
Where it comes from
The person behind each recipe, the year it was first made, the occasion, and a family timeline of who made what.
Cook mode
Big type, one step at a time, timers read from the steps, and a screen that stays awake. No ads while you cook.
A printed cookbook
Turn any cookbook into a print-ready book: print it at home or at any print shop. A gift that gets used. Kitchen Plus.
Built for real kitchens
Made for the counter, not the desk
Cook from an iPhone in one hand or an iPad on the counter.
iPhone and iPad first
Large text, touch-friendly controls, and a home-screen app. No App Store needed.
Your recipes are yours
Download the recipes you own as JSON or CSV any time, on either plan.
Private by default
Recipes stay in your account until you share a link, invite family to a cookbook, or make one public.
Every change kept
Version history keeps each edit, so a well-meaning cousin can never lose the original.

FAQ
Questions families ask
Straight answers, no fine print.
What happens to the card photos?
They stay with the recipe as "The original card", on every plan. Kitchen reads the handwriting so you can cook from it, and you check each recipe before it is saved.
How many cards can I import for free?
50 cards for the life of your account, up to 25 at a time, read together within the day (usually within the hour). Kitchen Plus reads cards right away, with no limit.
Can I get my recipes out if I leave?
Yes. Export JSON or CSV for the recipes you own, always free. Kitchen Plus also exports recipes shared with you.
Can my sister add her recipes?
Invite her to a cookbook. You choose who can view, comment or edit, and version history keeps a record of every change.
Do I need Wi-Fi while I cook?
Kitchen Plus keeps recipes on your device for offline cook mode. Free accounts need a connection.
How do I sign in?
With an email and password, a one-time link to your inbox, or Face ID with a passkey. Add Kitchen to your home screen from Safari.
