Cooking with a constraint

When "what's actually in this?" is the first question you ask

Gluten, dairy, nuts, sodium, a protein target, a toddler who won't eat anything green — most recipe videos never say what's really in the pan. LinkPlate turns a creator's link into a complete ingredient list down to the spices, suggests swaps for the parts you can't eat, and builds the shopping list around what you decided.

Built for the way constraint cooks work

Every ingredient, spelled out

Spices, oils, sauces and garnishes get their own line — the places hidden allergens usually live.

Swaps on demand

Ask the built-in assistant for a dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free or lower-sodium version of the exact recipe you saved.

A week you can actually eat

Plan the week and watch daily calories and protein total up as you drag recipes onto days.

A list that matches the plan

One aisle-grouped, printable shopping list built from the recipes you actually chose.

How a check takes about a minute

  1. 1. Paste the recipe link

    A reel, a Short, a blog post — whatever the creator posted. Or snap a photo of a recipe card.

  2. 2. Read the full ingredient list

    Grouped by produce, protein, dairy, pantry and spices so nothing hides inside a step.

  3. 3. Swap what doesn't work

    Ask for a substitution, scale to your servings, then send the missing items to your shopping list.

Questions

How do I check a creator's recipe for an allergen?
Paste the link. LinkPlate breaks the recipe into a full ingredient list — including the spices, oils and garnishes creators mention only mid-sentence — so you can scan the whole thing at once instead of rewatching a video three times.
Can I ask for a substitution?
Yes. Every saved recipe has a kitchen assistant built in. Ask it for a dairy-free swap, a gluten-free binder, a lower-sodium version or a nut-free garnish and it answers against that recipe's actual ingredients and steps.
Does it track macros for a specific target?
Per-serving calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and sugar are shown when the creator publishes them, and estimated from the ingredients when they don't. The weekly planner totals each day so you can see where a plan lands before you shop.
What about cooking for a household with different needs?
Scale any recipe to the servings you're actually cooking, and keep separate albums — gluten-free dinners, kid meals, low-FODMAP lunches — so the right set is one tap away.
Is the nutrition information medical advice?
No. LinkPlate reads what creators publish and estimates the rest. Always confirm ingredients and labels yourself if an allergy is severe.
