Kitchen & Bar

On this phone

How to get around

The bar under the name is the map. Swipe it sideways if a destination sits off-screen. On Tonight, the button pinned to the bottom cooks the lead dish.

  1. Tonight — What you can cook first, plus drinks that fit the same shelf.

  2. This week — Five dinners from the shelf, urgent things cooked first.

  3. Shelf — Edit what you actually own.

  4. Written methods — Every dish and drink with a method somebody wrote out.

  5. The pantry — Start from one ingredient: what it does, and everything built on it.

  6. Out of it — What to use instead, judged by the job the missing thing was doing.

  7. Photo review — Review a demo shelf photo and confirm every item before adding it.

  8. Flavor Lab — Pairings with a track record: classic matches and the mixology behind them.

  9. Wild cards — Combinations with no tradition behind them, only shared aroma notes.

  10. Send to Occasion OS — Prepare confirmed shelf availability for Occasion OS.

  11. The field — The gap this layer owns.

Keep it on the home screen

  1. iPhone — tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
  2. Android — open the browser menu, then Install app or Add to Home screen.

After that it opens as Kitchen & Bar, not a browser tab. Inventory stays on this device.

orange

Sweeter and rounder than lemon and lime, so it softens rather than sharpens. The peel carries more of what makes it taste like orange than the juice does, which is why so many drinks are finished with a twist.

What it is usually standing next to

Nothing dominates: the most common companion, soda, appears in only 29% of them, so this is an ingredient that gets around.

Counted off required ingredients across the whole corpus. A companion listed here is one these dishes are built from, not one we are recommending.

If you have twenty minutes

Quickest dish · 10 min

Fennel orange salad

Slice the fennel as thin as you can manage — thick fennel stays crunchy and aniseedy. The orange juice on the board is the dressing.

Quickest drink · 2 min

Garibaldi

Campari and orange juice, but the juice has to be fluffy — blended or hard-shaken, so it aerates. That texture is the entire drink.

Built on it · 38

Take it out and the dish is something else. Fastest first.

Worth adding · 39

These work without it. They work better with it.
