How it works

Three small steps.
A whole week, sorted.

FamilyTable connects the only three things that matter at dinner: the recipes you love, the week ahead, and the trip to the shop.

    Shop smarter

    Your plan becomes one neat list, sorted by aisle. Duplicates merged, units normalised, and check it off in the shop.

Recipe library

One home for every recipe you've ever half-saved.

Bookmarks. Screenshots. That printout from 2019. FamilyTable pulls them all into a clean, searchable library you'll actually use.

  • Import from any URL — instructions, ingredients, photo, all parsed automatically
  • Tag by cuisine, season, who-likes-it — find the kid-approved pasta in two seconds
  • Step-by-step cooking mode that keeps your phone awake while you stir

Meal planner

A calendar that thinks in dinners, not meetings.

Drag a recipe onto Tuesday. Copy last week. Mark Friday "takeaway" guilt-free. Plan the whole month or just tonight.

  • Drag-and-drop calendar — week, fortnight, or month at a glance
  • Reusable templates for "school nights" and "slow Sundays"
  • Adjust servings on the fly — the shopping list updates with you

Smart shopping list

The list writes itself.

FamilyTable reads your plan, merges duplicates, normalises units, and groups everything by aisle. You bring the trolley.

  • "2 onions" + "1 onion" become 3 onions, automatically
  • Tap an item to see which recipe it's for
  • Share with the household — anyone can tick off as they shop

"Tuesday, somewhere normal."
Designed for real life

Built for the 5pm question, not the cookbook shelf.

FamilyTable isn't trying to turn you into a chef. It's trying to give you back the twenty minutes you lose every evening to "I don't know — what do you want?"

01

Practical, not gimmicky

No streaks, no badges, no AI mascot. Just the boring stuff that saves you time, done well.

02

One household, one workspace

You and your partner, your flatmates, your in-laws — all in the same plan, all in the same list.

03

Built for the kitchen

Big tap targets, screen-stays-awake cooking mode, and a shopping list that works one-handed in the dairy aisle.

04
