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.

Why tonight. Eastern European weeknight. Brown the cabbage.

What it needs

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

  • pasta
  • cabbage
  • butter
  • onion

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

Method

  1. Cabbage shredded thin and cooked in a lot of butter over medium heat for twenty-five minutes, until it goes sweet and brown at the edges.
  2. Onion in with it from the start. Salt early so it gives up water and then cooks in butter rather than steam.
  3. Pasta cooked, drained wet, and tossed straight into the pan with a splash of its water.
  4. Black pepper, more butter, and that is the whole thing. It reads as nothing on paper and eats like something you would order.

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

pasta
The sauce finishes on the pasta, not the other way around.
cabbage
Cheap, keeps for weeks, and completely different raw and cooked.
butter
Flavor and body in the same spoonful.
onion
The base under most of this library.

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.
