Your Family's Recipes Deserve to Live Forever

Every family has recipes that taste like home. Preserve them all - the ingredients, the steps, the photos, and the stories behind them - before they're lost forever.

Start Your Family Cookbook

Don't let another recipe disappear

How many family recipes exist only in someone's memory? How many are scribbled on index cards that are fading away? When grandma's apple pie recipe dies with her, you can't get it back. KinPatch helps you preserve every family recipe before it's too late.

How the Family Recipe Book Works

1

Add Recipes

Enter ingredients, instructions, photos, and most importantly - the story behind the recipe and who it came from.

2

Share With Family

Choose which family groups can see each recipe. Your whole family can contribute their favorites too.

3

Cook & Remember

Pull up recipes on your phone while cooking. Every time you make grandma's pie, you'll see her story alongside it.

Why Families Love Our Recipe Book

Stories, Not Just Ingredients

Photos of the Real Thing

Add photos of the dish as your family makes it - imperfect, real, and exactly how it should look.

Everyone Can Contribute

Collect recipes from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Build a complete family cookbook together.

Access While Cooking

Pull up any recipe on your phone while you're in the kitchen. No more hunting for that index card.
