Recipes

Recipes short enough to cook on a hard day.

Every recipe is written for a weeknight kitchen with a child in it. Short steps, honest timing, and ingredients you can find in one shop.

Timing you can trust

A recipe that claims twenty minutes and takes fifty is worse than no recipe at all, because you planned the evening around it. Times here include the chopping. If a dish needs forty minutes, it says forty minutes, and you can decide before you start rather than at the point of no return.

Steps written for one hand and half your attention

Short numbered steps, one action each, in the order you actually do them. Nothing buried in a paragraph, and no instruction that assumes you read the whole recipe before starting. You will be reading this on a phone on the counter while someone asks for a snack.

Ingredients from one ordinary shop

Recipes are built from ingredients a normal grocery store carries, and they reappear across the week so nothing is bought for a single spoonful. Every recipe in a plan flows into that week's list automatically, in the right aisle group.

Cook mode, for when your hands are full

Open a recipe in Cook mode and it becomes one step at a time, in large type you can read from across the counter. Steps that need timing start a timer from the step itself, so you are not switching to the clock app with wet hands. The ingredient list stays a tap away without losing your place.
