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.

Cod, potato and olives baked with egg

After Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá

Salt-cod logic on frozen cod: potatoes, a pile of onions, olives, eggs. It should taste like olive oil and onion, not fish sticks.

Why tonight. Salt-cod logic on frozen cod: potatoes, a pile of onions, olives, eggs. It should taste like olive oil and onion, not fish sticks.

What it needs

Nothing confirmed on your shelf yet — this list is the whole ask.

  • cod
  • potato
  • onion
  • olives
  • eggs

Good if you have them, fine if you do not: olive oil.

Method

  1. Everything is cooked before it is layered — potatoes fried, onions softened, fish poached or roasted.
  2. This is an assembly baked briefly, not a dish cooked from raw in the oven.
  3. Plenty of olive oil, more than looks reasonable. It is a defining ingredient rather than a cooking fat.
  4. Eggs cracked in for the last few minutes only, so the yolks stay soft. Olives and parsley at the end.

An educational plan from a curated corpus. Not a nutrition, allergen, or doneness guarantee.

Cook or pour it, then edit the shelf if you emptied a bottle or used the last of something.

Why each of these is on the list

What the ingredients are actually doing

cod
Lean, mild and flaky, which makes it a vehicle rather than a flavor.
potato
Waxy holds its shape, floury falls apart, and almost every potato complaint is the wrong one for the job.
onion
The base under most of this library.
olives
Salt, bitterness and fat in one small package.
eggs
The cheapest way to turn a side dish into dinner.

Missing one of them? The substitutions are written against those jobs rather than against a chart, so they say what each replacement costs this dish in particular.

Cook it, then tell the shelf what you used.

The ranking is only as honest as the shelf behind it. Empty the cream, and everything that leaned on cream should stop being offered.
