Set Up Your Kitchen
When you sign up, you'll automatically get a Personal Kitchen. We call them "kitchens" because our features—recipe management, meal planning, and grocery lists—are designed to help you run your home kitchen more smoothly.
Kitchen Types
Just for you. Created automatically when you sign up.
For couples. Share recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists with one other person.
Note: Only one member needs Premium to create a Shared Kitchen—you can then invite a partner to join for free. Shared Kitchens currently support 2 members, with larger households coming soon.
Navigating the App
Peel is organized into four tabs, each representing a core feature designed to simplify how you manage food at home:
Import recipes from websites, social media, photos, or add your own. Build your family's digital recipe book.
Plan meals your way—no rigid weekly grids or required breakfast/lunch/dinner slots. Just flexible scheduling that fits your life.
Create shopping lists manually or generate them from your meal plan. Check off items as you shop.
Manage your profile, kitchen settings, subscription, and access help.
