Do you ever find something that you love so much you just want to shout about it from the rooftops? Well, this is me shouting from an online rooftop – letting you know why you need to try Spillt! Do you like food? Great! You’re going to love this free recipe app!
How many times have you found a recipe you love online, maybe screenshotted it, used it a few times, and then totally forgotten about it? I often think about recipes I used to make, particularly over lockdown when I was making a lot of new meals, where I now have no idea what website I found them on, let alone what the specific recipe was called to be able to search it again. So many good recipes lost to the void of the internet, never to be seen again.
It has long been on my to-do list to save the recipes I do use often in some kind of homemade cookbook, maybe printing them out, or writing them up in a nice notebook. But this is where Spillt comes in – all this work has now finally been done for me! Set up by two sisters in 2022, the app allows you to save any recipe – whether it’s a URL from a website or Instagram Reel, a photo of a recipe from a physical cookbook that you love, or even a write-up of one of your own recipes you’ve created – and organise them into your own categories/ boards on your profile. Think Pinterest but just for food and recipes! You can then easily share these recipes with friends, as well as mark whether you’ve made the recipe, how you’d rate it, and if there were any changes or amendments you made. It’s actually genius!
The app also uses ai technology to compile ingredients lists for each recipe uploaded, which allows you to easily make your own meal plans and create your own custom shopping lists in the app too. It’s so easy to use!
As well as a super handy and long-needed tool for the kitchen, using an app like Spillt is also an excellent way to help reduce food waste. The UK alone wastes around 10 million tonnes of food every year! When searching for recipes from other users in the app, you can filter your searches based on specific ingredients. Have some potatoes that are beginning to sprout in the cupboard? Spring onions which are getting a little floppy? Half a tub of crème fraiche you’re not sure what to do with? Spillt will show you hundreds of recipes specifically using these ingredients, allowing you to make something new, fun, and tasty – even with yesterday’s leftovers!
Spillt is available for free from the app store, as well as on your desktop. I’m not associated with this app in any way – I just genuinely love it as it has easily solved a problem I’ve had, and I feel like this will help so many other people too! This is also excellent if one of your New Year’s resolutions is to try and cook more at home – it’s packed with so much yummy inspiration. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
