Love cooking.
Skip the planning.
Personalized meal plans and automatic shopping lists for busy people. For free on any diet.
Less searching. More finding.
Stop sifting through hundreds of recipes to figure out what to cook.
SimmerThyme learns what you like and creates a personalized plan each week, featuring recipes you’ll actually be excited to cook from human creators across the web.
Shopping list. Frictionless.
Your meal plan includes a shopping list organized by grocery aisle. Breeze through your favorite store or the farmer’s market, with grocery delivery coming soon.
Think outside the meal-kit box.
Meal kit delivery services lock you into their menu and delivery schedule and charge a hefty markup for warehoused ingredients.
SimmerThyme makes you a personalized meal plan that you can edit and shop anywhere.
No markup, no lock-in and no single egg in six feet of bubble wrap.

Great recipes are written by people, not machines.
SimmerThyme helps you discover recipes from independent creators and trusted publishers, with clear credit and links to the original source. We want to help creators reach new cooks, not erase the people behind the food.
Built for home cooks, not billionaires.
We’re Ezra and Ben, the founders of SimmerThyme. We’re inspired by our friends who cook for fun, but we need some help to be like those people.
We have a combined 40 years of experience building consumer products with millions of users.
We’re independently funded, which means there’s no chasing 10x returns, no optimizing for hypergrowth at all costs and no grocery chain shutting us down when we don’t fit into their business.
Our goal is to build a durable, trusted business that helps millions of households love to cook while giving most features away for free.
That means no intrusive ads, dark patterns or cheeseball monetization tactics (aka ensh*ttification). Because nobody should be trying to make a billion dollars off your sandwich.
Available now for Mealime users. Coming soon for everyone.
