About Ladle & Leaf
We are a small team of people who cook most evenings and got tired of screenshots, bookmarks and paper cards scattered across three drawers. The app keeps everything in one searchable place, understands units and quantities, and steps through a recipe on a phone propped against the kettle without you touching the screen. Add dietary filters, notes and ratings, and it becomes a cookbook that reflects how your household really eats.
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.
What you get
Drag, drop, dinner
A weekly board keeps breakfast, lunch and dinner in view, with leftovers carried over to the next day.
A list that writes itself
The list updates when the plan changes, so you never buy for a dinner you moved to next week.
Hands-free steps
Read each step without touching a greasy phone. Timers run in the background and ping when the pot is ready.
