The rules we cook by. They decide what we build and, more usefully, what we refuse to.

Your recipes stay yours

Everything exports — JSON, Markdown, printable PDF, plain paper. If we ever stop being useful, you should be able to walk out with the whole book in one click. Lock-in is not a feature.

No 2,000-word life story

The essay above the recipe exists for search engines, not for you at 6pm with a hot pan. We keep the recipe, keep the useful notes, and quietly leave the rest behind.

Measurements that actually convert

Flour by weight is not flour by volume. Our scaling knows which ingredients need density, which need rounding, and which — leavening, salt, spice — do not scale linearly at all.

Cook mode, not scroll mode

Big type, one step at a time, screen that refuses to sleep, and a timer that starts when the step says to. Designed to be read at arm’s length with wet hands.

Credit where it is due

Every imported recipe keeps its source, its author, and a live link back. We are a filing cabinet for what you already follow — not a place that quietly launders other people’s work.
