Questions, answered
Where can I save recipes from?
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Pinterest, plus any recipe website. You can also snap a photo of a cookbook page or a handwritten card, or import a PDF or an export from another recipe app.
Is A La Carte free?
Yes. Use A La Carte for free: import up to five recipes a week, keep every recipe you save, and plan and shop from them. A La Carte Plus lifts the import limit and adds Cook Mode and our AI tools, with a free trial on the yearly plan.
Is it on iPhone and Android?
Both. A La Carte runs on iPhone and Android.
Can it handle allergies and dietary restrictions?
Yes. Set your allergies and dietary preferences once, and A La Carte checks every recipe you save against them, flags anything that conflicts, and with A La Carte Plus it can adapt a recipe to fit. Treat it as a second pair of eyes, not a replacement for reading labels.
Does it know what’s already in my pantry?
Yes. Add what’s on your shelves by hand, or scan them with your camera with A La Carte Plus, and A La Carte builds grocery lists around what you’re actually missing — and tells you when something is close to expiring.
Can I use it while I’m cooking?
Yes, with A La Carte Plus. Cook Mode walks you through one step at a time, with timers built into the steps that need them, so you can keep your hands free.
