Yummly is gone. The dinner problem isn't.
Everyone wants something different for dinner
You're back to scrolling through recipe sites
You end up cooking the same 5 meals on repeat
FamilyPlate was built to fix exactly that.
Why FamilyPlate is the right Yummly replacement
Built for the whole family — not just one person
Yummly was a single-user recipe app. FamilyPlate is built for households — every feature is designed around the whole family eating together.
Everyone can vote on meals before you shop
Share a link with your family. Everyone votes on each meal before you shop — no account needed. Meals with low scores get swapped instantly.
AI generates a full 7-day plan — not just recommendations
Yummly suggested individual recipes. FamilyPlate's AI builds a complete, balanced weekly meal plan tailored to your family's preferences and dietary needs.
Learns your family's real tastes over time
FamilyPlate builds a taste profile for each person in your household and learns from real feedback every week — getting better the more you use it.
Others help you collect recipes.
FamilyPlate helps your family decide what to eat — automatically.
FamilyPlate vs Yummly

No manual recipe hunting required.
