Setting Up Your Household
A household connects the people you cook with. Once you're in one, your meal calendar, shopping cart, and pantry can be shared with everyone in it — changes appear for the whole household in real time.
Creating a household
- Open the Household tab in the main navigation.
- Choose to create a new household and give it a name.
- Invite members — each person gets an invitation to accept.
Every member keeps their own FourFork account, profile, and personal spaces. Joining a household adds a shared layer; it never merges accounts.
Joining a household
If someone invites you, accept the invitation from your notifications or the Household page. You can only belong to one household at a time.
Leaving or removing members
You can leave a household at any time from the Household page. Items you added to shared spaces stay with the household; your personal calendar, cart, and pantry are unaffected.
What gets shared
- Meal calendar — plan the week together.
- Shopping cart — one list for the grocery run.
- Pantry — track what's in the kitchen you all share.
- Saved recipe collections — build a family favorites list.
