Everything he can do
All 54 of them, as of this week. The Corporation makes no promises about next week beyond the obvious one.
In the kitchen
What he does with what you've actually got.
🧊 Photograph the fridgeHe writes down every last thing, down to the half lemon. Then he stops you buying it twice. → 🥫 Photograph the cupboardTins, jars, dry goods. The boring one, and the one that saves you the most. → ❄️ Photograph the freezerBecause everyone forgets what's in the freezer. Everyone. → 🍽️ Photograph a plateAnywhere at all. He works out how to make it at home, and tells you what he can see before he tells you what to do. → 📝 The pantryEverything he knows you have, sorted the way a shop is. Mark anything running low and it joins the list. → ⏳ The freshness checkHe asks about the things he hasn't seen in a week. Bin one and it goes straight on your shopping. →Deciding dinner
The question the Corporation was founded to answer.
✨ Three picks a dayChosen from your kitchen and your table's habits. Kept forever, so nothing good is lost to a scroll. → 👍 Thumbs up, thumbs downSay no to one of the three and it's replaced on the spot by something that has read the refusal. He learns from every vote. → 🥗 Something alongsideCook a main and he asks about a salad or a side — three that go with it, one of them quick. →
The Mediterranean waySay the word and he cooks that way without being asked. Dishes that fit are marked, nights off are just nights off.
→
📷
Is this one worthy?Photograph any plate — yours or a restaurant’s — and he says whether it fits the Mediterranean way, and why.
→
🍲
Pot LuckChoose what goes in the pot — whatever's in the house — and he finds the one clever thing to do with it.
→
🍳
Make something newCourse, protein, flavor, time. He builds it around your allergies without being asked twice.
→
🗂️
Only what I haveA hard rule, not a suggestion. Nothing enters the recipe that isn't already in your house.
→
🍴
Make it a whole mealOne main becomes a starter, sides and something sweet, all planned for the same night.

Getting it on the table
The part every other cookbook leaves to you.
⏱️ Cook it all togetherOne timeline instead of four recipes. What to start, what to leave, what to do while you wait. → 👨🍳 Cook modeOne step at a time in big type, and the screen refuses to sleep while your hands are wet. → 🍽 Change the servingsEvery quantity rewrites itself. A pinch stays a pinch. → 💬 Ask the ChefSubstitutions, temperatures, why it split. He answers the way someone across a counter would. →The week and the shop
Where the money quietly goes.
📅 Plan the weekAny night, any dish. Everything a planned meal needs lands on your list on its own. → 🛒 The listSorted by aisle, because a list in the order you thought of it is no use in a shop. → 🛒 Shop modeBig targets, one hand. Tick something off and it goes into your pantry, because you've just bought it. → ↗ Send the listFor when somebody else is going. → ✉️ Friday morningYour week and your shop in one message. → 🌙 Sunday eveningThree things worth making again, from your own history. →The cookbook

First onto the ballot. → 🛒 Least shoppingSort your own cookbook by how little you'd have to buy tonight. → 👍 One-tap loggingDid you make it, was it any good. Two seconds, and it's how he learns anything at all. → 📷 Add your ownPhotograph a cookbook page, a card in your mother's handwriting, or a screenshot. →Other people
Cooking is not, on the whole, a solitary activity.
🍽️ GatheringsDinner parties and bring-a-dish nights. One link, no sign-ups, and nobody brings the fourth salad. → ✉️ The guest listWho's invited, who's answered, and one button to nudge the ones who haven't. → 🤔 Guest suggestionsYour guests get three ideas that won't clash with what's already coming, and the full recipe for whichever they choose. → ⚠️ Allergies out loudAnyone can say what they can't eat, and everybody sees it before they decide. → 👥 Groups and circlesClubs around one thing each, and private circles inside them for the people you actually cook with. → 🌟 ExploreWhat everyone else is cooking, and the rooms worth wandering into. → 📺 CATVA television channel of cooking videos. Nothing to extract, nothing to do but watch. →Away from home
He cooks. Amanda Zing goes. Ninety countries, seventy years of kitchen friends, and she still reads the reviews.
✈️ Where should we eat?Name the city and Amanda tells you where to go and what to order there — lined up against what the chef already knows you eat. → 🧃 The BlendEvery review Amanda can find of a restaurant, counted into one number. Under four reviews she refuses to give one. → 📈 Rising or slippingA restaurant is not a film. The chef leaves and it stops being the same place, so she weighs the recent write-ups against the old ones and says which way it is heading. → 🏆 The city listsThe best places in a hundred cities, twenty-five each, every one scored. Built in the background so they open instantly. → 🍕 Best pizza, best steakOr ice cream, ramen, oysters, anything. The counter with four stools counts if that is where the good one is. → 👩✈️ Ask AmandaThe address, the hours, how to book and the one thing a stranger gets wrong. She says “couldn’t confirm” rather than guess. → 📝 Your trips, keptEvery list she builds you is saved and reopens free. Say whether you went and what you thought, and it joins the score. → ↗ Send the whole tripA page with her name on it, not a wall of text pasted into a message. →Taste Buds
A one-on-one game about whether you know what somebody eats.
🎙️ Challenge someoneNine questions about one person, and one worth double. You guess first, then they answer honestly. → 📱 No account to playThey get a link by text and answer on their own phone. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. → ⚖️ Chef judges itHe rules on the near misses, because “spag bol” and “spaghetti bolognese” are the same answer. → 🧂 Who are they to youPartner, kid, parent, friend, a date, somebody from work. The questions and the scoring both change. →How tonight feels
A mood that rotates on its own is decoration.
🎛️ The five dialsMood, ambition, time, comfort zone, health. Set them and they are limits, not hints — the bottom of Time is a hard twenty minutes. → 🔄 It reaches everythingMove a dial and today’s 4:11 is thrown out and asked again. There is no point in a mood that only changes the wallpaper. →Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
