A cookbook for the meals you actually make
The recipe you saved is only the beginning. A shared cookbook helps you turn it into something on the table.

Scullery brings recipes into one shared household cookbook, then helps you choose a meal, shop for it and cook it. The idea is simple: the recipes you save should be easy to find and useful to the people who cook with you.
Start with a few useful recipes
Begin with meals you return to: a tomato sauce, a favourite curry, the dish someone keeps requesting. Add a few things you'd like to try. That is enough to give the household some useful choices.
Recipes often arrive in different places. Someone sends a link, you photograph a cookbook page, or a dish catches your attention in a social post. Scullery can turn supported sources with enough recipe detail into a draft for you to review.
When a web or social source is incomplete, you can keep the useful context as an idea, with its source attached. A photo of a finished dish also has its own Create from idea workflow.
Make the choices visible
A shared cookbook gives everyone access to the same possibilities. The person choosing dinner and the person stopping at the shop can start from the same recipe.
Bring a few options into a shortlist and let the household say what sounds good. Someone then chooses the meal. Preferences help that conversation without automatically selecting a winner.
For example, you might shortlist a familiar pasta and a bean dish you've been meaning to try. Knowing which one appeals helps the cook decide what to make and what needs buying.
Carry the recipe through to cooking
Once you've chosen, add the ingredients you need to the shared shopping list. They stay connected to the recipe, alongside the everyday items people add during the week.
At the stove, cook mode keeps the current instruction prominent and linked quantities close by. Afterwards, recording a cook keeps track of when you made the dish and moves an untried Idea into Recipes.
Saved recipes, favourites, stated tastes and recorded cooks give Scullery context for the options it brings forward. You keep choosing what suits the household today.
Scullery is free to use. If you'd like to try it with the people you cook with, create an account.
