Why Mealmento is for you.
Food has lost its flavor online. Most recipe apps are built for algorithms, not people. They're stuffed with ads and soulless content that makes cooking feel transactional and forgettable. At MealMento™, we’re building something better: a space to preserve the stories behind your meals, not just the steps. Whether it’s Grandma’s secret cookie recipe, the soup your mom made when you were sick, or that overcooked lasagna from your third date, we believe these memories matter. We believe your meals are memories, and those memories deserve a better home. If you believe that too, then pull up a chair and have a seat. Welcome to MealMento™ and welcome at the table.
How It Works
5 simple steps, to go at your own pace.
1. Add a Recipe Title & Description
Start by giving your recipe a name that captures its spirit ...whether it's Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie, Italian wedding soup, or "Weekend Crab Boil." You can also include an optional description to share its story: where it came from, who taught you, or why it matters to you. Every recipe has a memory ...this is where it begins.
2. Add the Ingredients
Next, list out everything needed to bring your recipe to life. Whether it's a dash of cinnamon or five pounds of Yukon Golds, MealMento™ helps you organize your ingredients clearly so others can follow your creation. It’s all about preserving the details that make your meals meaningful.
3. Add the Instructions / Directions
Break your recipe down step-by-step. Each direction is entered as its own row for clarity ...this makes it easy to pair each action with a moment in your video. Whether you’re sautéing, baking, or plating, your process becomes part of the memory.
4. Record or Upload a Memory Video
Capture the moment in motion... record your cooking session directly in your browser, or upload a video you’ve already filmed. Our platform supports most devices and browsers, and even allows you to pause during recording ...perfect for letting dough rise or waiting for that golden-brown finish.
5. Bookmark Instructions to the Video Timeline
Lastly, sync your steps with the story. Simply click to mark the time when each instruction happens in the video. You're not just showing how to cook ...you’re preserving the rhythm, voice, and feel of the experience. When you're done, your MealMento™ is ready to share with family, friends, or future generations.
Remember the meals that matter.
