Stop answering "what are we eating?" five times a day. With Plated, your whole household shares one recipe collection, one meal plan, and one shopping list.

How Household Sharing Works
One Recipe Collection for Everyone
Import recipes from anywhere—BBC Good Food, Instagram, your mum's handwritten cards. Everyone in your household can add to the collection, and everyone can see what's available.
No more "I saved that recipe somewhere" or "can you send me that link again."
One Meal Plan for the Week
Drag and drop meals onto the weekly calendar. Everyone can see what's planned—from the app, from any device. The daily "what's for dinner?" conversation is over before it starts.
One Shopping List That Updates in Real Time
Add meals to the plan, and Plated generates the shopping list automatically. If someone picks up milk on the way home, they tick it off—and it disappears from everyone's list.
No duplicate purchases. No forgotten ingredients. No wasted trips.
Perfect for Families of All Sizes
Busy Parents
You're juggling work, school runs, and activities. The last thing you need is another decision at 5pm. With a shared meal plan, you always know what's for dinner—and so does whoever's cooking.
Couples Living Together
You both cook, you both shop, you both have recipes you love. Combine your collections in one place. Plan together. Shop together (or take turns—the list is on both your phones).
Flatmates and Housemates
Share the cooking duties fairly. Take turns planning, take turns shopping. One app keeps everyone on the same page without endless WhatsApp messages.
Multi-Generational Households
Grandparents, parents, grown-up kids—everyone can add their favourites. Gran's shepherd's pie recipe lives next to the TikTok pasta you saved last week.
