01 — Method
How a sentence becomes dinner.
No magic. Just a careful editorial layer between your craving and a recipe that actually works.
02
We sweat the details.
Pantry math, salt and acid balance, timing realism. The boring bits a SEO blog won't do. Substitutions you'd actually swap.
03
Plate up, hands floury.
Step-by-step with timers, voice mode, big tap zones. Your screen stays on. Substitutions are tap-to-show, not buried in notes.
02 — Leftovers
Honest about the fridge.
Tell us what you have. We'll cook around it. Including the cilantro that's seen better days.

- ✓Half a leek

- ✓Day-old rice
- ×Cilantropast its day
- ✓A nub of cheddar
- ✓Chili oil (jar of)
step 03 — Crisp the rice
02:30 / 04:00
Day-old rice, hot pan, patience.
The why: day-old rice has lost its surface moisture, so it can crackle properly instead of steaming. High heat, neutral oil, let it sit — resist the urge to stir.

Hands floury. Screen on. No tabs.
The cook-mode is where the product earns its keep. Built for messy hands, low light, and shared kitchens.

Next button is 64px tall, full-width. Made for thumbs and oil.
Voice mode
Read the step. Say "next." Auto-advance. Optional, never default.
Wake lock
Screen stays on through the whole cook. No timeouts mid-fold.
Swipe between steps
Right for back, left for next. The keyboard never enters.

07 — Questions
Things people actually ask.
What kind of recipes do you generate?
Real ones. Cook-tested in feel — proper timings, sensible salt and acid, leftover-aware substitutions. Not "preheat the oven and pray."
Is this just a chatbot in a trench coat?
No. We lead with the recipe; the input is just a fast way to brief us. Every output goes through an editorial layer for tone and cookability.
Will you tell me to run out for sumac?
No. Tell us what you have and we'll cook around it. The leftovers brief is honest about fridge realities.
Do you store my data?
Saved recipes, your dietary flags, the cravings you typed. Never sold, never used to train other people’s models.
How does Cook mode work?
Full-screen step-by-step with timers and big tap zones. Designed for hands that are floury or wet — voice mode coming next.
Can I use it offline?
Cook mode caches the active recipe, so once you’ve started cooking you can lose signal without losing the steps.
Is there a free tier?
3 recipes a month, forever. No credit card.
Refunds?
Within 14 days, no questions. We'll be here when you're hungry again.
