Three steps to getting Sprout & About.

1

Sort the meal prep

One photo of the shelf gives you recipe suggestions for what you can cook today and what needs a trip to the shops.

Conquer date night!

Get ideas based on nights out you like, ping one over to your partner, and reach out to your babysitters, all in one screen.

Recognise any of these? Then you’re in the right place!

We built this because these things happened to us.

Recipes

Let the fridge decide.

Scan the shelf once, and after that every recipe in your list tells you what you’ve got in and what you’re one ingredient short of.

They loved it on Tuesday. Today it’s a personal insult.

Your cookbook

Keep track of their tastes and reactions.

Every recipe keeps their verdict and the photos you snap of them eating it, so you always know what has actually gone down well.

Something happened after the yoghurt and I need to be sure.

Allergens

Track first tastes and reactions.

Note the reaction once and that ingredient stops coming up in suggestions.

Shopping

Smart shopping lists generated from your recipes, grouped by aisle.

Add a recipe and the ingredients land on the list, minus whatever is already in the cupboard.

Plans

Get dinner in the diary.

Pick an idea and ask your partner out. A suggestion lands on their phone, they say yes or pick another night, and the babysitter gets asked from the same screen.

Our promise

Things Sprout & About will never do.

You can snap your child eating a meal and keep it with the recipe, and you photograph your fridge to get recipes in the first place. Here is where both go.

We will never

Store your photos.

The fridge photo is read while you wait and is gone the moment the list comes back, never written to our database and never filed under your name, unless you choose to send us one to show us what went wrong. The keepsakes of them never leave your phone at all.

We will never

Follow you around.

No analytics, no advertising pixels, no third-party scripts. There is nothing on this site counting what you do with it.

We will never

Show anyone else what is in here.

Your kitchen, your week and your child’s record are locked to your household and read by nobody outside it. Not sold, not shared, not handed on.

A year of them, written down.

You are not keeping a diary. You cook, you tap a face, and the recipe holds on to what they made of it and the photo you took while they did.

The fourteen allergens tick off as you go. So a year in, without ever sitting down to write any of it, you have the meals they loved, the face they pulled at broccoli, and the list ready the day nursery asks for it.

Invite-only, for now.

We are letting households in slowly, so that when you write in, a person writes back.
