Top Plate: Rank Your Cooking

Every recipe on Top Plate now has ingredients and steps, so anything you see in the feed is something you can actually make tonight.

Top Plate is a record of the food you actually cook.

Photograph a meal, and it goes into your cookbook. Then Top Plate asks you the only question that matters: was it better than the last thing you made? A few quick comparisons and your dishes sort themselves into a ranked list, from the one you would make again tonight down to the one that was fine.

That ranking is the point. Star ratings all drift to four. Comparing two of your own dinners is a question you can actually answer.

WHAT YOU GET

A cookbook that builds itself. Every meal you log becomes a recipe with ingredients and steps, so you can make it again in six months when you have forgotten how.

Your food, in order. Best breakfast, best dinner, best thing you have ever baked. Ranked by you, from your own cooking.

A feed of people you know. Follow friends and see what they are actually eating on a Tuesday, not styled food photography.

Cook their food. Tap any dish in the feed and get the full recipe. Log it when you make it, and it takes its place in your own rankings.

Calories and macros, estimated from your ingredient list rather than guessed from a photo.

HOW IT WORKS

Take a photo. Top Plate reads the dish and drafts the ingredients and the method, and you correct anything it got wrong before posting. Nothing is published as your recipe until you have seen it.

Then compare it against one or two dishes you have already ranked. That is the whole loop.

Top Plate is free, and there are no ads.
