Doubled the basil. No regrets.
Cooking
From the match
to the plate.
A match is only dinner once somebody has cooked it. Every recipe opens in cooking mode, and everything it needs can go on one shopping list.
Before you start
Everything out
on the counter.
Cooking mode opens with the full list of ingredients, in the amounts your table needs.
Cooking for
1–12
Change the number of people and the amounts follow. What can’t be scaled is marked, so you adjust it by eye.
Units
g / ml
Cups, ounces and pounds shown as grams and millilitres. Approximate, like any conversion from cups.
Checklist
Tick as you go
Everything the recipe needs, to tick off before the hob is on.
Missing something
One tap
The whole recipe goes on the shopping list.
Step by step
One thing
at a time.
No scrolling with flour on your fingers. Each step has the screen to itself, and the buttons stay where they are from the first step to the last.
On screen
1 step
In large type. The dots show how far you are.
Ingredients
This step’s
The list narrows to what the current step calls for.
Timer
Where a time is named
“Simmer for 12 minutes” gets a 12-minute timer. Tap to start, tap to pause.
Screen
Stays awake
Switched on by default, and you can turn it off.
Shopping list
Several dinners.
One trip.
The list lives on your phone and needs no account. It keeps your ticks until you take a meal off it.
Meals on it
As many as you like
From a match, a round’s verdict, the week plan, your likes or cooking mode.
One list
Merged
All ingredients in a single list, with a mark where an item is needed for more than one dish.
By meal
Separate
Or one card per dish, each with its own count.
Hand it over
Copy
The list as plain text, to paste into a message.
Afterwards
How was it,
chef?
The last screen of cooking mode asks for your verdict. What you do with the plate after that is up to you.
Stars
1–5
Asked once you have cooked it. No account needed, and you can change your mind.
