About Mum's Cooking: Family Recipes
Save the recipes your family can't replace. Mum's Cooking is a private, offline family cookbook. Save Mum's and Grandma's recipes in their own words, with photos, step photos and a recorded voice memory. Then cook from them every day: plan the week, build the grocery list, keep the pantry in check and follow steps hands-free at the stove. No account. No ads. No subscription. Everything stays on your phone. NEW: KITCHEN HELPER (EARLY ACCESS) An AI assistant that runs entirely on your phone. Ask "what can I cook with what I have?", "what's about to expire?", or "add the carbonara ingredients to my list". It answers from your own cookbook and pantry. Your questions, your recipes and your pantry are never sent to us or to any AI company, and are never used to train a model. It is optional, free, and downloads once over Wi-Fi. SAVE A RECIPE FROM ANYWHERE - Share a TikTok, Instagram Reel, YouTube video or web page to Mum's Cooking and it becomes a recipe with ingredients and steps - Scan a Recipe Card: photograph a handwritten card, a cookbook page or a two-page spread and the words are read on your phone - Browse cooking sites inside the app and save with one tap - Quick Capture: a name, a photo and the ingredients, details later - Move recipes between phones with a QR code or a share link KEEP THE STORY, NOT JUST THE STEPS - Record a Memory: the voice behind the recipe, played back while you cook - "From whose kitchen?" attribution and occasion tags (Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Sunday Roast) - Make your version: family variants with a side-by-side comparison - Collections, categories, favourites, a Vault for recipes that stay private COOK HANDS-FREE - Cooking Mode shows one step at a time in large text, reads it aloud and keeps the screen on - Timers are found in the recipe text and start with a tap; several run at once with notifications - Mise en Place checklist, unit converter, ingredient substitutions, technique explanations - Scale any recipe from half to four times PLAN, SHOP, STOCK - Meal planner by day and week, with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack slots - The grocery list builds itself from the plan and is sorted by aisle - Pantry with quantities and expiry dates, and alerts before food goes to waste - Pantry Match: what you can cook right now with what you have YOUR FAMILY, YOUR LANGUAGE - 22 languages, including Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish and French - Allergen and diet checks for the whole family - Nutrition and cost estimates, worked out on your phone - Five colour themes, dark mode, high contrast, large text PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Works completely offline - No account, no tracking, no analytics, no ads - Backups go to your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive, or to a ZIP file you keep - Shared recipe links carry the recipe inside the link itself, so no server ever sees it FREE TO START, PAY ONCE Save your first recipes free.
