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. Ketchup rice wrapped in egg. Tomato paste and a pinch of sugar if there is no ketchup. Soft egg, not a rubber blanket. Don't overstuff.

What it needs

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

  • rice
  • eggs
  • tomato paste
  • chicken
  • onion

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

Method

  1. Fry the rice with onion, chicken and tomato paste until the paste darkens and stops tasting tinny. Two minutes, not thirty seconds.
  2. Shape it into a mound on the plate first, so your hands are free for the egg.
  3. Beat the eggs smooth and cook them in a buttered pan over low heat, stirring, until they are barely set — a soft sheet, not an omelette with color.
  4. Slide it over the rice and let it slump. The whole point is that the egg is loose enough to fall open when you cut it.

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

rice
Starch that either steams or fries, and the two want opposite things.
eggs
The cheapest way to turn a side dish into dinner.
tomato paste
Concentrated sweetness and savory depth, and it is raw out of the tube.
chicken
Two different foods depending on the cut.
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.
