Dinner, on your terms.

Getting dinner on the table doesn’t have to start with a blank page. Start with what you like, and let the rest come together.

Find a menu that sounds good

You know what you want. You just need the recipes.

Chicken tacos, pork ramen, burgers on Friday. Tell us the dishes you’re craving and get the recipes and shopping list together.

You need ideas beyond the same five dinners.

Give us your preferences, the ingredients you want to use, and what you’d rather skip. Let us suggest the menu.

Tomorrow’s lunch would be nice, too.

Choose extra lunch portions. Your recipes and shopping list account for them, so lunch isn’t another thing to figure out.

We’ve planned dinner professionally. And at home.

We’re Amy and Brendan Cowley, founders of Larder & Line. We both hold bachelor’s degrees from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, and bring a combined 45 years of culinary and pastry experience, much of it in fine dining.

But at home, we still face the same question: what’s for dinner?

“Running kitchens taught us to think ahead—plan the menu, organize the ingredients, and make the cooking manageable. We brought that thinking into our own home, then built Larder & Line to share it with yours.”

  3. Add the broccoli and reserved water to the cooked chicken. Cover and cook until the broccoli is tender. Serve over the rice.

A few things to know

Why “Larder & Line”?

A larder is a place to keep food and ingredients—a well-stocked starting point for a meal. The line is where a restaurant kitchen brings it all together. Larder & Line connects those two ideas: knowing what you need and having a plan to cook it. We’re bringing a little professional kitchen organization to the everyday home kitchen.

Do I have to plan a whole week?

Choose one to seven dinners. Four or five is a good place to start if you want most of the week covered.

Can I plan for lunches too?

Yes. Choose extra lunch portions to make dinner plus one lunch serving per person. You can change this for each menu.

What about dietary restrictions?

Saved dietary needs apply to each menu. You can add restrictions for a particular week, plus ingredients you prefer to skip. Always check recipes and food labels against your own needs.

How do I get access?
