Your recipes live in six different places.

A screenshot in your camera roll. A tab you never closed. A note called dinner ideas. A saved post you cannot find again. When it is time to cook, you spend longer searching than shopping.

One book instead. Everything you cook from, searchable by ingredient, course or source, and ready to plan from.

One book for every recipe you keep. One plan for the week ahead. One list for the shop.

Built for how you actually cook.

A recipe book you can search, a cook mode you can follow with messy hands, a shopping list that adds itself up, and a log of how it all turned out.

Your recipe book

Find the right recipe in seconds.

Everything you save, in one grid. Search by ingredient, narrow it by course or source, and see your own star ratings at a glance.

  • Search by ingredient, tag or where it came from
  • Filter by course, and sort by rating
  • Private notes on every recipe
  • Suggestions for what to cook next
Cook mode

One step at a time, big enough to read from the hob.

Open cook mode and the method fills the screen. Swipe or tap to move on, and your screen stays awake while you cook.

  • Timers appear from the times written in the method
  • Ingredients one tap away, ticked off as you go
  • Change the servings and every amount follows
  • Works on your phone, tablet or laptop
Shopping list

One list for the whole week.

Matching ingredients from every recipe on your menu are added together, so you buy 640g of beef once, not 320g twice.

  • Quantities combined across recipes
  • Tick things off in the shop and they drop to the bottom
  • Pantry staples you can check off in one go
  • Add your own items, share it or print it
Cooking log

Remember how it turned out.

Log each time you cook a recipe with a photo and a note: what worked, what you would change. Tick a meal off on your menu and it offers to add one.

  • Up to four photos on every entry
  • A timeline of everything you have cooked
  • Private to you, even on recipes you share

  • Scale any recipe

    Change 4 servings to 2 and every amount follows.

  • Nutrition and cost

    Calories, protein and a rough cost for every recipe. Exact figures when the source publishes them.

  • Equipment lists

    See the pans and tools a recipe needs before you start.

  • Plan the week or an event

    Put recipes on the days you will cook them and tick each meal off, or group a dinner party by course.

  • Share with friends

    Send a recipe or menu. They can view it, nothing more, and you can stop sharing at any time.

  • Private by default

    Only you can see your recipes, menus and lists until you choose to share one.

Bring a recipe in from wherever you found it.

Questions people ask first

Why is it invite only?

Thyme en Place is opening up gradually, so the site stays fast and every account gets proper attention.

Does it cost anything?

There is no charge to join right now, and no payment details are asked for.

Who can see my recipes?

Only you, unless you choose to share. Every account keeps its own recipes, menus and shopping lists. You can share one with a friend or by email, they can only view it, and you can stop sharing at any time.

Which sites can I import from?

HelloFresh, Gousto, BBC Good Food and most sites that publish structured recipe data. If a site does not, paste the recipe text instead and it is split into ingredients and method for you to review.

How accurate are the nutrition and cost figures?

When the source publishes exact nutrition, that is what you see. Otherwise it is a rough estimate from typical ingredient values, so treat it as a guide rather than a label. Cost is a personal approximation, not live pricing from a shop.

What is cook mode?

A full-screen view that shows one step of a recipe at a time, in large text, with timers picked out of the method and your ingredients a tap away. Your screen stays awake while it is open.

Can I keep photos of what I cook?

Yes. Log each cook with a date, a note and up to four photos, and it all builds into a timeline. It is private to you, even on a recipe you have shared.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The whole site is responsive, and on smaller screens the main sections sit in a bar at the bottom of the screen.

How long does an invite take?

Requests are reviewed by hand, so timings vary. Approved requests get a personal link by email.
