Add to Home Screen

On phones

Your recipe list. One tab for your own recipes, one for each kitchen you’re in.

Tabs

My Recipes is yours. Each kitchen tab is that kitchen’s shared recipes.

Search

Type a recipe name, an ingredient or a person. Use two words to narrow it, e.g. “truffle jasper”. Accents and small spelling slips are fine: “pate” finds Pâte, “crossiant” finds Croissant.

Vegan · Vegetarian · Pescatarian · Meat

Show only that diet type. Tap again to clear.

Here’s what we read

The check screen. Everything can be changed before you save.

Where to save

Starts ticked on where you pressed Capture: on a kitchen’s tab, it goes to that kitchen; on My Recipes, to My Recipes. Tick more if you want it in several places — each is a separate copy.

Already there?

If that kitchen already has a recipe with the same name, choose: replace it, add it as a separate recipe, or don’t add it.

Spelling

The AI quietly fixes spelling and cooking words. It never changes amounts.

AI imports

Each photo or voice capture uses one. Free: 5 in total. Paid: 50 a month.

Ingredients · Method · Notes

Metric · Imperial

Switch the units.

Allergens

The UK 14. Solid = contains. Dashed = may contain (hidden in a bought ingredient, like fish in dashi).
