Pick the recipes you want to cook, drop them into your weekly planner, and Tavola builds your shopping list automatically. You choose every meal — Tavola just makes the organising effortless.
Snap a photo of a handwritten recipe card, a page from a cookbook, or even a social media post with ingredients and steps — Tavola reads it and saves everything for you. You can also paste a URL or type it in manually. However you collect recipes, they all end up in one place.
Yes. Tavola adjusts serving sizes across your meal plan so your shopping list matches exactly how many people you're feeding. No more guessing quantities or buying too much.
Recipes are more than instructions — they're childhood memories, family traditions, and the flavours that make a house feel like home. Most meal planners push AI-generated recipes from a database. Tavola never does that. We don't generate recipes, suggest replacements, or tell you what to cook. Your recipes are yours. We simply give you the tools to organise what you already love and plan your week around it.
Yes, Tavola is available on both the Apple App Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android devices. Download it free today.
