Recipes cooked by people, not styled for photos.

You know how it goes: you look for a recipe and find a studio photo, a two-page essay and three ads before you learn how much flour you need. NoPlating is where people who cook at home show their food the way they make it — with photos taken on their phone while cooking, and the little secret that makes the difference.

See how it works

01

What a recipe looks like

One photo of the finished plate, then 2 to 9 photos of the steps. Each photo comes with what you do at that moment.

Key Technique

Key Technique — the part you won’t find in books. For example, for smoked duck: cherry wood for steady embers, green apple wood for smoke, and an old corn cob thrown on the coals so its sugar gives the duck a copper colour without burning the skin.

02

Cook with what you have

Type what’s in your fridge — “chicken, tomatoes, onion” — and see what you can make right now, and which recipes need just one more ingredient. Send what’s missing to your shopping list with one tap; it works in the store, even without signal.

“I made this”

There are no stars. There is one button, pressed by people who actually made the recipe at home. A recipe rises only because it turned out well in other people’s kitchens, not because it looks good in a photo.

Variations, with the author’s name

Take someone’s grandmother’s recipe and make it vegan or gluten-free. Your version stays linked to the original, and the name of the person who started it stays on it.

03

If you want to share your recipe

Take photos while you cook, then write how you made it, in your own words, the way you’d tell a friend. The app pulls out the ingredients, quantities and times on its own; you just check them and add your Key Technique. The recipe is then translated into Romanian, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian, so anyone can cook it.

Photos taken from the internet are checked automatically and don’t get through. Here, only what you cooked counts.
