Shared family cookbooks

Save your family's recipes in one place.

Type up old cards, add photos, and invite relatives to contribute. When someone texts asking for your aunt's potato salad recipe, you can send a link instead of digging through a drawer.

What you can do

Store recipes, share them with relatives, and keep the originals on file.

Keep recipes in one spot

Type recipes in, upload photos of the original card, and search by title or category. Handy when you're moving or the box in the pantry is getting brittle.

Invite family to help

On the Family plan, send an invite link so others can add and edit recipes in the same cookbook. Good for spreading the work after a holiday when everyone wants copies.

Add context, not just steps

Each recipe can include a short note (who taught you, when you make it, substitutions you actually use). Helpful when the instructions say "a pinch" and only one person knows what that means.

More than a list of ingredients

Most of us already have recipes scattered across texts, photos, and paper. Fork & Kin is for keeping the instructions and the extra bits (who gave it to you, holiday variations, a photo of the card) together.

  • Stories

    Free-form notes on each recipe.

  • Traditions

    Tag or describe when you usually make a dish.

  • Photos

    One or more images per recipe.

  • Memories

    Who taught you, tweaks you always make, etc.

  • Family history

    Shared cookbooks stay with invited members.

How people use it

A few common reasons folks sign up.

"Mom's recipe box was falling apart. We typed up the cards we still had and photographed the rest."

Digitizing old cards

"Cousins in different states kept texting for the same chili recipe. Now there's one link."

Sharing with relatives

"We attached scans of grandma's handwriting next to the typed version so the original isn't the only copy."

Keeping the originals

FAQ

Billing, invites, and privacy.

What happens if I cancel?
Your recipes stay in your account. If you cancel Family, you keep what you saved; you just can't send new invite links until you subscribe again. Cancelling does not delete recipes.
Can I invite family members?
Yes, on the Family plan. You get invite links; people who join can view and add recipes in that cookbook.
Can I upload handwritten recipes?
Yes. Upload a photo of the card and type the steps in the same entry so it's searchable.
Is my cookbook private?
Yes. Cookbooks are private unless you invite someone. We don't sell your recipe data.
