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
Does it handle dietary restrictions?
Filter by vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and more. Substitutions are suggested when an ingredient does not fit.
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.
