Introduction

Learn how Kitchen works and where to start.

Kitchen helps households manage pantry inventory, recipes, and grocery shopping in one shared workflow.

What Kitchen does

  • Tracks pantry items so you know what is available
  • Organizes recipes and shows what you can cook now
  • Builds grocery lists from meal plans and pantry gaps
  • Supports household collaboration with shared updates

Suggested first steps

1. Set up your household

Create or join your household so everyone collaborates in the same workspace.

2. Add pantry basics

Start with frequently used items and expiration dates where possible.

3. Add or import recipes

Bring in your regular meals first so recommendations and grocery planning become useful quickly.

4. Create your first grocery list

Pick meals, review suggested items, and shop from a shared list.
