Carême

Early alpha— we're actively building Carême. Expect rough edges and frequent updates.

For cookbook lovers

Every recipe, found

You own the cookbooks. Carême makes them searchable. Scan your shelf, build a library, and find any recipe across every book you own — by ingredient, dish, or cuisine.

Start your library How it works

From shelf to table

in four steps

Scan your shelf

Photograph your bookshelf and your books' index pages. Carême identifies every cookbook and builds a searchable recipe list for each one — and as more people add books, those lists are already there for you.

Search everything

Find any recipe across your entire collection. "Beef bourguignon" surfaces matches in every book you own.

Open & cook

"Mastering the Art of French Cooking, page 315." Grab the book off your shelf and start cooking.

Share with family

Share your library with the people you cook with. Everyone searches the same books — and every index you capture helps every other owner.

Better together

Add a missing page number while you cook, and every other owner of that cookbook benefits. One contribution helps thousands. The more people use Carême, the better it gets for everyone.

Indexing our first cookbooks now — yours could be next.

Your cookbooks deserve an index

Stop flipping through pages trying to remember which book had that recipe. Start searching instead.
