Type in each dish’s ingredient list, choose the words your guests ask about, and print table tents with the matches highlighted.
Free, no signup. Everything you type stays in this browser.
For Thanksgiving gatherings on 26 November 2026 and the December office and school parties: up to 20 dishes, printed as folded table tents.
Pick the groups your guests ask about. Each group also looks for other names, like casein or whey under milk, and shows the reason on the card.
Typing “nuts” covers peanut and tree nuts. Plurals, hyphens and capitals are matched for you.
Paste each ingredient list exactly as the cook wrote it, brackets and all. A dish with no list still gets a card that says so.
Cards, host grid and CSV appear below. Nothing is sent anywhere.
One page with NOVA groups in plain words, eight giveaway ingredient groups to tick, and simple swap lines.
Instant download. Details used only to reply and send what was asked for, privacy-friendly analytics, email [email protected] to access or delete.
Every list is read from start to finish, brackets included, so a sub-ingredient such as the wheat flour inside a soup is found like any other word.
Free and instant. Try six example dishes to see it work.
These are the names behind each quick-pick. A name outlined here is one that may be made from the ingredient rather than being it, so the card shows the reason beside it.
36 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
17 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
5 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
24 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
41 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
16 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
28 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
21 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
10 words and names. Outlined words may be made from it, though not always. Whenever one is highlighted, the card states the reason.
Add your own words too, such as sulphite or cilantro.
The same habit of reading a list word by word works beyond potlucks.
No. It shows where your words appear in the lists as typed, and that is all. A list that omits something cannot show it, so the cook is the best person to ask when someone needs a firm answer.
The list included a phrase such as “may contain”, “traces of” or “made in a facility that also handles”. Words inside that phrase are marked with a dashed underline and kept apart from the ingredients, so the card and the host grid say where each word was found.
A list that says only “flour” does not name the grain, and flour on its own is usually wheat. The card shows the match with that reason so you can ask the cook. Rice flour, almond flour and other named flours are left alone.
They are matched the same way. Egg and eggs, tree nut and tree-nut, MILK and milk all count as the word you chose, and words such as eggplant, nutmeg and cocoa butter are not mistaken for egg, nuts or milk.
Up to 20 dishes per set, printed 4 or 6 table tents per A4 or Letter page. A long ingredient list continues on a second card instead of being cut short.
No. The lists stay in this browser tab and are cleared when you close it. Save the CSV if you want a copy of the host grid.
Print at actual size with margins set to none, cut along the dotted lines and fold on the dashed line. The top half is printed upside down so the card reads from both sides of the table.
