The Collaborative Recipe Engine

Together, we can make the world's best recipe book. Let's stop making more recipies and make better ones instead.

This app is free while we get the recipe right.

A recipe isn't just a list of ingredients. It's a memory, a shortcut back to somebody's table, a small inheritance passed down from kitchen to kitchen.

Versioning

Every recipe remembers where it's been

Save a version whenever a recipe's earned it, with a note on what changed. Open any past version to see exactly how it looked, and revert in one click if tonight's tweak didn't work out.

There are now tens of millions of recipes on the internet. AI can generate recipes on demand for any set of ingredients. So you are probably wondering why you would be interested in yet another recipe app.

Scale, units, temperature

One recipe, any table size

Cooking for two instead of four? Scale servings live and watch every quantity update. Switch between metric and US units, or convert oven temperatures between C, fan and gas mark — all previewed before you commit to a version.

Calendar

Plan the week, not just the meal

Drop recipes straight onto the calendar, or jot a quick note for the nights that don't need one — "leftovers" counts. Everyone in the kitchen sees the same week.

The answer is that it's time to put people back at the center of the equation. Ricey Peas is a place where people can iterate on recipes with friends, family and colleagues, making them better every time they're cooked.

Type it in plain English, we'll sort it out

Lists are just plain text lines — type "parmesan" and it's grouped under Dairy automatically. Check things off as you shop, together, in real time.

A recipe page on a phone
Any device

The recipe's still there, one-handed

Pull it up on a laptop while planning, or prop your phone against the tap while your hands are covered in flour. Same kitchen, wherever you're stood.

Every kind of kitchen

Families, near or far

One family recipe book, whether everyone's round the same table or scattered across time zones.

Home cooks & housemates

Swap recipes with friends, split cooking duties with housemates, or just keep your own collection somewhere better than a notes app.

Small kitchens & pop-ups

Keep a small team's recipes consistent and versioned, with a clear record of what changed and why, without a commercial kitchen suite.

Public recipe collectors

Open a kitchen up to anyone and build a recipe archive the internet can actually browse and search.

Everything a kitchen needs

Kitchens, your way

Private for just you, shared with the people who matter, or public for anyone to find. Head Chef, Sous Chef and Dinner Guest roles keep everyone's access sensible.

Ingredients that understand you

Type ingredients the way you'd say them out loud. Quantities, units and names get parsed and matched automatically — nothing to fill in by hand.

Kitchen chatter

A feed of what's actually happening — new recipes, saved versions, notes from whoever's cooking tonight. Automatic and personal, side by side.

Reading mode, by default

Recipes open read-only so an elbow on the phone doesn't rewrite tonight's dinner. Flip to Editing on purpose when it's actually time to change something.

Paste a recipe, get a recipe

Start a blank recipe, hit Fill from text, and paste one in from anywhere — a website, a note, wherever. Title, ingredients and method land where they should. Anything we're not sure about goes into notes instead of vanishing.

Nothing's ever really gone

Every save is a version, every version is a moment in the recipe's life. Look back on how a dish evolved, or just undo a change that didn't land.

No ads. No life story. No pop-ups.

Just the recipe you actually came for, in a calm, private space with the people you cook with. That's the whole product.

Ricey Peas is the place to create and store the recipes you hope to pass down through the generations.

How it works

1

Start a kitchen

Give it a name and decide who can see it — private, shared with the people you invite, or public.

2

Invite your people

Bring in family, friends or colleagues. Everyone gets a role — Head Chef, Sous Chef or Dinner Guest.

3

Add recipes together

Type them in or paste one from anywhere, then save a version whenever it's earned it.

Cooking is better with others

Start a kitchen, invite the people you cook with, and bring your recipes somewhere they'll actually get looked after.
