Events: by Larder

About

Events by Larder turns "what should we cook?" into a fully planned, beautifully hosted occasion, from the first idea to the last course served. Choose from seven occasions, Dinner Party, Christmas, Easter, Birthday, New Year's Eve, Summer BBQ, and Valentine's Day, each with a full three-course menu of original, restaurant-inspired dishes. Every recipe explains not just what to do, but why: the kitchen science behind each step, chef's notes, common mistakes to avoid, and a suggested wine pairing. WHAT YOU GET • 105 original dishes across seven occasions, five options per course • Real step-by-step timers with local notifications, so nothing overcooks while you're not watching • A live Hosting Dashboard showing every timer and next step across your whole menu at once • Cook Mode: full-screen, one step at a time, the screen stays awake while you work • A guest list with dietary tag tracking and automatic conflict warnings, before you're at the shops • A seating planner for round or rectangular tables • An aisle-grouped shopping list with an estimated cost, scaled automatically to your guest count • A hosting timeline for every dish, what to prep the day before, the morning of, and just before serving • Search across every dish in the app by name, ingredient, or occasion • Design and export a themed, printable menu card, individual guest place cards, full recipe cards, or one combined hosting packet with everything in it • Metric and imperial units, dark mode, and notification preferences Events by Larder isn't a database of scraped recipes. Every dish is written from scratch, with the reasoning a good cook actually needs, and every hosting tool exists because planning a real dinner party takes more than a recipe card. Whether it's an intimate dinner for two or a full table at Christmas, Events by Larder handles the planning so you can actually enjoy hosting.
