About Ladle & Leaf
Cooking at home gets easier when the boring parts are handled: remembering what you have, deciding what to make and writing the list. That is the whole job of this app. It does not try to be a food magazine or a social network. Recipes you save stay exactly as you wrote them, servings scale with one tap, and the plan for the week turns into a shopping list you can share with whoever is passing the store.
Frequently asked questions
How does the shopping list work?
Pick the recipes for the week and the list is built for you, grouped by store aisle, with quantities merged across dishes.
Can I add my own recipes?
Of course. Type them in, paste text from anywhere or snap a photo of a handwritten card, and Ladle & Leaf will structure the ingredients and steps.
Does it handle dietary restrictions?
Filter by vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and more. Substitutions are suggested when an ingredient does not fit.
