Start a cookbook

Name and email. We send one link, you click it, you're in. Every recipe you add is filed and converted to Australian measures.

How it works

One link in. Dinner sorted.

Three steps, about eleven seconds. You never retype an ingredient and you never work out what 1 cup is meant to be.

Drop a link

Paste any recipe page, or email it to your cookbook. Nothing to install, no account needed to try it.

Fix the maths

Every line converted to Australian measures. A tablespoon here is 20 ml, and most recipes online don't know that.

Sort and share

One list sorted by aisle with the pack maths done. Text it to whoever's shopping and watch them tick it off.

What you get

Everything that link turns into.

A recipe page is written to be read. We turn it into the things you actually need: a shop, a method you can follow, and the kit to do it with.

01Every line read
Ingredients pulled off the page in full
Not the ones a scraper found — the lot. Quantities, units, prep notes and garnishes, kept apart so the list stays honest.
02Australian measures
Cups, sticks and pounds converted
Grams, millilitres and celsius, every time. American measures land in Australian ones before you ever see them.
03Pack maths
A shopping list sorted by aisle
Duplicate ingredients merged across recipes, rounded up to the packs on the shelf, grouped produce to frozen so you walk the store once.
04Pantry
The salt and oil you already own, skipped
Mark your staples once. They stay on the list as a struck-through tile, so you can see what was left off and why.
05Kit
The equipment the recipe assumes
Cast-iron, thermometer, stand mixer. Flagged as essential or helpful, with swaps when you haven't got one.
06Who wrote it
A profile of the cook behind the recipe
Researched from the web and sourced line by line, so you can judge a recipe before you shop for it.
07Scaling
Change the servings, the list follows
Halve one recipe, double another. Quantities and pack maths rebuild across the whole week's shop.
08Sharing
Send the list by text, email or link
Whoever's at the shops ticks items off live. No account, no app, nothing to install on their phone.
09Technique
The steps explained, not just listed
Deglaze, temper, rest. The method notes tell you what the step is doing and how to tell it's worked.
10Cookbook
Your notes stay yours
Scaling, ratings and what you changed sit on your copy. Re-reading the source page never overwrites them.
11Library
Every recipe added feeds the shared library
Search what other Australian cooks have already parsed and converted, and save it straight to your cookbook.
12No prices
Quantities and packs, never dollars
We don't guess prices or push you to a store. You shop where you shop.
