Why I built this

I just wanted to make dinner.

You know the feeling. It's 6 PM, the kids (or in my case, the dogs) are hungry, and you found a recipe that looked perfect. You tap the link.

And then it starts. A popup asking for your email. A video ad that autoplays with sound. A banner ad. Three paragraphs about how this recipe reminds the author of their grandmother. Another ad. Another popup. Scroll, scroll, scroll. Where is the actual recipe?

"I was tired of fighting the website just to feed my family. So I built the recipe app I wished existed."

So I built ParentRecipe — a community of home cooks sharing recipes the way they should be: clean, simple, and ad-free. Real people, real recipes, no nonsense. Everyone benefits when we share what we love.

I'm just one person building this in my spare time. I've got a wife, twins on the way, two dogs, and a cat — so trust me, I get the chaos of trying to cook a real meal. Free forever, no ads, no tracking, no nonsense. Want in?

Questions you might be having

Is ParentRecipe really free?

Yes. The core app is free forever — no trial, no hidden fees. We earn a small commission when you buy ingredients or kitchen gear through our optional affiliate links, but you're never required to use them.

How do you make money without ads?

Affiliate commissions. When a recipe calls for an ingredient or tool, we may show a "Buy" link to Amazon, Instacart, or similar. If you buy through it, we earn a small percentage. No banner ads, no popups, no tracking pixels following you around the web. Eventually a small Pro tier ($2.99/mo) will add meal planning and nutrition info for users who want more.

How does ParentRecipe work?

ParentRecipe is a community-driven recipe site. Home cooks like you upload their favorite recipes, and everyone benefits from a clean, ad-free experience. Browse, search, share, and like recipes — all without ads, popups, or autoplay videos.

Will this work on my phone in the kitchen?

Yes — it's built mobile-first. Large readable text, easy ingredient check-off, and a clean view designed for cooking. No app to install (it's a web app), but you can add it to your home screen on iOS and Android.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can browse and view all recipes without any account. You can even upload recipes anonymously. Optional accounts will eventually let you save favorites and access Pro features when those launch.

Can I share my own recipes?

Absolutely! Just click "Upload Recipe" and fill in the form. Your recipe will be instantly live for the whole community to discover. You can post anonymously or with a name — your choice.

What if I see a bad recipe?

Right now we trust the community to self-moderate. Eventually we'll add a reporting feature so users can flag inappropriate content. We want ParentRecipe to be a great place for home cooks.
