A little ladle. A lot to discover.

Little Ladle is a place for the everyday question: what shall we eat? We bring together practical recipes, a playful dinner wheel, and stories about the foods that connect kitchens around the world.

What you’ll find here

Explore 320 recipes with ingredient lists and step-by-step instructions, and 412 long reads about ingredients, dishes, and food traditions. Use the dinner wheel when you want chance to choose your next kitchen adventure.

Our editorial approach

Our initial collection draws on openly licensed Wikibooks recipes and Wikipedia food articles. We reproduce and reformat this material for comfortable mobile reading, retain source links, and provide text and image licensing information in our Sources & credits index. These are community-contributed references; we do not claim that every recipe has been tested in our kitchen.

Countries describe an association or a recipe’s stated origin, not an exclusive claim of invention. Food traditions often cross borders. Cooking times and difficulty labels are editorial estimates; ingredients and cooking methods follow the cited recipe.

Made for your phone

Save ideas on your device, check ingredients as you cook, or simply keep exploring. The layout stays comfortably compact even on larger screens.

Corrections and questions

We welcome corrections, image-credit requests, and suggestions through our contact page. Each link in our credits index also takes you to the original community project and its revision history.
