Aunt Rosa's Saffron Risotto
from Nonna Lucia, 1948
“If the pan sings, it's ready.”
A story from the family tin
a kitchen archive for families
Your family's recipes and stories, forever.
FoodLore keeps the dish, the photo and the story that came with it: who made it, where it came from, and the thing they always said at the stove. It lives on your phone, it's free, and you don't need an account.

How it works
Every recipe has a story. Keep both.
-
1
Write it down, story and all
Add a photo, the title, who it came from and where, the story behind it, and the line they always said. Then the ingredients and steps. Only the title is required, so you can start with a name and fill in the rest later.
-
2
Scan the handwritten card
Photograph a recipe card in someone's own handwriting and FoodLore turns it into a draft you can edit. It reads the recipe; it never invents one, and you check every line before saving. A free account comes with three scan credits.
-
3
Cook from it
Tick off ingredients as they go in and steps as they're done. Send one ingredient, or the whole list, to your shopping list. It's grouped by recipe, so you know what each thing is for.
The archive
A tin of recipe cards, not a feed.
FoodLore is built like the tin someone in your family kept by the stove: warm, a little worn, and full of names. Recipes open on the people and places behind them, then get out of the way when it's time to cook.
- Search across titles, stories, regions and ingredients
- Tag each dish with its cuisines and regions, from a list of 91
- Works with no signal; your recipes are on the phone
- Export your whole archive to a file whenever you like
Yours, on your phone
Your recipes stay yours.
free, always
Private by default
The archive lives on your phone and works without an account. Your recipes are copied to the cloud only if you turn on backup. Scanning a card sends that one photo off to be read.

Backed up and in sync
Copy your archive to your own cloud and keep it in step on every device you sign in on. If Premium lapses, nothing is deleted.

Shared with relatives
Send a private invite link. Relatives read your recipes as a shelf in their own app. You see who joined, and you can revoke access at any time.
The Privacy Policy says, in plain words, what stays on your phone and what goes to the cloud.
“Aunt Zohra counted the coals, never the minutes.”
