Cooking is Better Together
Most recipe apps are built for one person. FlourPower is built for your whole household. Real accounts for every member, shared cookbooks, collaborative shopping lists — and everyone's recipes in one place.
How Family Sharing Works
Create Your Family
Sign up and create a family group. You're automatically the owner with full control.
Invite Your People
Send email invitations or share an invite link. Each person creates their own account with their own login.
Cook Together
Everyone can add recipes, organize cookbooks, build shopping lists, and start cooking sessions.
Roles & Permissions
Not everyone needs the same level of access. FlourPower gives you three roles to keep things organized.
Full control over the family group. Can manage billing, invite and remove members, assign roles, and manage all recipes and cookbooks. The person who creates the family is automatically the owner.
Can do everything a member can, plus invite new members and manage cookbooks. Great for a partner or older kid who helps run the kitchen.
Can add recipes, browse the family collection, contribute to shopping lists, and start cooking sessions. The default role for new invitees.
What Sharing Actually Looks Like
Shared Cookbooks
Create themed cookbooks that everyone in the family can browse and add to. "Weeknight Dinners," "Holiday Baking," "Grandma's Recipes" — organize however makes sense for your household.
Example: Mom imports a new chicken recipe and adds it to the "Weeknight Dinners" cookbook. Dad sees it immediately and adds it to tonight's shopping list.
Family Shopping Lists
Shopping lists are shared across the family. Add items from recipes or manually, and everyone sees the same list in real time. Check items off at the store while someone else adds last-minute ingredients from home.
Example: You add ingredients from three recipes to the weekly shopping list. Your partner checks it at the grocery store and marks items off as they grab them.
Global Substitution Preferences
Set family-wide ingredient preferences that apply to every recipe. If someone in your family is lactose intolerant, set a global substitution for dairy milk and every recipe will show the alternative.
Example: Set "oat milk" as the family's preferred substitute for "whole milk." Now every recipe that calls for milk shows the oat milk alternative automatically.
Family Tags
Tags are scoped to the family, so everyone uses the same organizational system. Color-coded and searchable across your entire collection.
Example: Tag recipes as "Kid Approved" or "Date Night" and the whole family can filter by those categories.
Real Family Accounts vs. "Just Share Your Login"
Many recipe apps claim family sharing but just mean "log into the same account." Here's the difference:
| FlourPower Families | Shared Login | |
|---|---|---|
| Individual accounts | ||
| Own login credentials | ||
| Personal favorites | ||
| Role-based permissions | ||
| Know who added what | ||
| Revoke access for one person | ||
| Two-factor auth per person |
