A letter from the kitchen

One Tuesday night, I served my kids cereal for dinner.

I had recipes. Hundreds of them, saved from TikTok and Instagram and buried in my camera roll, where I never looked at them again. PlanPlate is the app I wished I'd had that night: paste a saved video or photo, and about a minute later you have a recipe you can cook from.

Sound familiar?

You scroll at midnight, saving healthy recipes you genuinely want to cook. But when 5 pm hits and everyone is hungry, those recipes might as well be on another planet.

My camera roll was a graveyard of screenshots. My saved folder had hundreds of recipes I'd never make.

So I built an app that gets them out of the camera roll and onto the dinner table.

Frequently asked questions

What is PlanPlate?

PlanPlate turns recipes you've saved on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and Facebook, or found on a website or in a cookbook, into complete recipes you can cook from. It also plans your week, writes your shopping list and has a cooking mode you can use hands-free.

Which platforms can I import recipes from?

PlanPlate imports recipes from eight sources: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, any recipe website, photos of cookbook pages or handwritten recipe cards, and a photo of a finished dish, which PlanPlate works back into a recipe. Share a link or take a photo and PlanPlate pulls out the ingredients and steps, so you don't have to type anything.
