Family Recipe Crisis Narrowly Avoided
A treasured family recipe had survived for decades largely by being remembered by one person.
What RecipeJam does about it
RecipeJam gives family recipes somewhere permanent to live, together with the notes, photographs, stories and people that made them matter.
RecipeJam, in use
A recording of this, in the real application
Photographing a handwritten card, tidying it into a recipe, adding the notes and history, and filing it into the family collection.
Filmed in RecipeJam itself, not an animation. Coming shortly.
Photograph the card, keep the handwriting
A recipe can arrive as a photograph of an index card. The photograph stays attached to it, so the handwriting is still there long after somebody has typed the ingredients out properly.
The notes are the recipe
Who it came from, why the oven runs hot, which bit everyone argues about. Notes and provenance sit alongside the method rather than being lost in the retelling.
More than one person can hold it
Invite the rest of the family to the collection. A recipe that three people can reach is a recipe that survives a lost phone.
