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.

Bacon and eggs

The shortest honest breakfast. Render the bacon, eggs in the fat. Don't rush the eggs. Toast if the pan still has room.

Why tonight. The shortest honest breakfast. Render the bacon, eggs in the fat. Don't rush the eggs. Toast if the pan still has room.

What it needs

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

  • bacon
  • eggs

Good if you have them, fine if you do not: butter.

Method

  1. Bacon into a cold pan, brought up slowly. Cold start renders the fat out; hot start burns the outside around a raw middle.
  2. Bacon out onto paper, and leave the fat in the pan. That fat is the point of cooking them together.
  3. Eggs into the bacon fat, heat down, and spooned rather than flipped if you want the yolk soft.
  4. Salt the whites only. Salt on the yolk pits the surface and speckles it grey.

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

bacon
Fat, salt and smoke, and the rendered fat is the more valuable half.
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.
