A little company at the counter

From a saved recipe to supper.

Start Cooking turns a saved recipe into a focused cooking guide. Plan the meal, gather what you need, and work through the recipe with the next step close at hand.

Plan. Gather. Prep. Cook.

Four stages bring the recipe into the kitchen. See the plan, check ingredients and equipment, work through preparation, and follow the cooking steps. Start at the stage that makes sense for you.

Keep your place

Checklist marks, your current step, and timers belong to the cooking session. Continue an active session when you return, without treating your saved recipe as a checklist.

Remember the little changes

Cooking Notes give your observations a place to go. When you finish, review any proposed recipe changes before deciding whether to update the original. Moving through a guide does not rewrite your recipe.
