The Recipe Vault — Free Recipe Organiser & Meal Planner
The Recipe Vault is a free recipe app that lets you save recipes from any website, plan your meals for the week, and build a smart shopping list — all in one place. Works on any phone or browser, and installs to your home screen.
Save recipes from anywhere
Paste any recipe URL and The Recipe Vault instantly saves the title, ingredients, method, timings and photo to your personal collection. Works with BBC Good Food, Delicious Magazine, Jamie Oliver, Nigella, Serious Eats, Bon Appétit, RecipeTin Eats and thousands more recipe websites.
Import recipes from photos
Photograph any cookbook page, recipe card or magazine clipping and our AI turns it into a clean, searchable, editable recipe in seconds. Great for preserving handwritten family recipes.
Save recipes from Instagram and social media
Paste any recipe caption from Instagram, TikTok or Facebook and The Recipe Vault strips out the hashtags, turning it into a proper cookable recipe saved to your collection.
Weekly meal planner
Add any saved recipe to your weekly meal planner — breakfast, lunch or dinner, any day of the week. See your whole week at a glance and build your shopping list from it in one tap.
Smart shopping list
Generate a shopping list directly from your meal plan. Every ingredient is automatically sorted by aisle — Produce, Meat & Fish, Dairy, Pantry, and more — so you can get round the supermarket without zigzagging.
Cook Club — shared recipes and shopping lists
Create a Cook Club with family or friends. Share recipes, plan meals together, and collaborate on a shared shopping list in real time. Everyone stays in sync at the supermarket.
Voice cook mode
Step-by-step cook mode reads every instruction aloud and listens for your voice commands — say "Next", "Back", or set a named timer by voice. Your screen stays on the whole time. Completely hands-free.
Smart cooking timers
Start a timer set for any recipe and The Recipe Vault reads the method to find time-based steps — "bake for 30 minutes", "simmer for 15 minutes" — and pre-fills named timers automatically.
Roast calculator
Enter the weight and doneness for any joint — beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey or duck — and get precise cooking and resting times instantly. Perfect Sunday roast, every time.
Search the web for recipes
Can't find what you're looking for in your collection? The Recipe Vault searches the web for recipes and lets you preview and save any result directly to your collection — no switching apps, no lost tabs.
Free recipe app — works offline
The Recipe Vault is free to start, with no ads. Install it to your home screen and it works offline — your entire recipe collection available even without an internet connection.
