  1. 01

    Import

    A link, a video, a photo or plain text. Norish parses it into a clean readable recipe.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Drop meals onto a calendar shared by your household.

  3. 03

    Cook

    Use the cooking mode, to remove the clutter and focus on the task at hand.

  1. See all your recipes at a glance

    Have anything planned for the day, see it right on top. Underneath you can view all the recipes you ever saved.

  2. Customise it how you want

    Need to scale the recipe? Use the plus and minus icons for however many servings you need. Is the recipe is metric whilst you need US? Let Norish adjust the ingredients.

  3. Need to focus?

    Open the cooking mode, and see the recipe one step at a time. The screen will remain on whilst you are in cooking mode, so no need to worry about your device turning off.

  4. Plan your week ahead

    Drop the recipes you woudl like to eat onto the calendar your whole household shares. Want to use your own calendar? Let Norish handle the syncing using CalDAV.

  5. A grocery list that learns

    Groceries that went into store 'Y' will go into store 'Y' the next time you need it. When doing groceries with your partner split up, the list stays in sync in realtime.

  • From a link

    Websites, blogs and recipe apps. Norish turns the structured data into a clean recipe, no clutter.

  • From a video

    YouTube, Instagram and Facebook and more. When no audio is available it looks at the discription.*

  • From a photo

    A screenshot, a page of a cookbook, a card in someone's handwriting. Up to ten photos are combined into a single recipe.*

  • From pasted text

    Free text or raw JSON-LD. Useful when a site will not cooperate and you can still copy what is on it.

  • Filled in afterwards

    Tags, meal categories, cuisines, nutrition, allergens and provenance are worked out in the background once a recipe lands.*

Cooking and planning

8

  • Cooking mode

    Step-by-step and easy on the eye, with timers where the step needs them, quantities already scaled, and a screen that stays awake.

  • Linked ingredients in steps

    A step can carry the ingredient lines it uses and how much of each, like half the water or three of the five eggs. Scaled the recipe? The linked ingredients scale along.

  • Scaling and units

    Set the servings and every quantity re-does itself. Metric and US measurements swap with one tap.*

  • Nutrition and allergies

    Calories, protein, carbs and fat estimated per recipe, per serving and allergies are flagged against what your household reacts to.*

  • Plan together

    Drop recipes onto the calendar shared along your household.

  • Shop together

    One shared list, including recurring items.

  • Real-time, always

    Edit a recipe, tick an item, plan a recipe. The whole household sees it on every device, with refresh needed..

  • Works even when offline

    Your fifty most recent recipes, all groceries and the current calendar window stay on the device. Changes you make offline queue up and replay themselves when you come back online.
