FoodNet is an internet archive for food and a social app for people who cook. It brings together a community of active cooks and chefs, offering a place to share meals, discover recipes, and keep track of what is happening in the kitchen. Members can post what they make and join discussions, while saving recipes they have typed or photographed in a personal recipe box. Recipes can also be published with public links so others can cook from them.

FoodNet’s practical kitchen tools help users manage ingredients and plan meals. Its pantry feature accepts groceries added by text, photo, or receipt and tracks items that are nearing expiration. A weekly planner supports batch cooking, portion adjustments, and recipe scaling. The cooking assistant can use a user’s pantry and open recipe to suggest substitutions, adjust quantities, or recommend what to make next.

The FoodNet Archive preserves public-domain cookbooks published from 1880 to 1963, with recipes linked to their original pages and presented alongside modern interpretations.
