About Us
OUR STORY
The story of Half Lemons is a familiar one.
Cooking the same meals from one week to the next, rotating across the staples. Having 15 spices in the spice rack but only using the same 2 or 3. Checking what’s in the fridge to eat.. and then checking again 20 minutes later like new food will magically appear. This is a serious condition called chow-time boredom, and it can be fatal if ignored.
The problem is we still search for recipes like it’s the 90s. We rely on recipes for most home cooked meals, but finding good ones is slow & painful. They don't account for the ingredients you have on hand, so we find ourselves missing key ingredients, making funky substitutions, or even a trip to the store. We live with this because there’s never been a better way… until now!
Half Lemons brings a new approach to this age-old problem. We use technology to make good recipes find YOU. We supercharge home cooking by unlocking the full potential of your ingredients.
