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. Uses the broccoli before it yellows. High heat, oil, garlic, lemon. Parmesan in the last minutes. Stems are not scrap.

What it needs

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

  • broccoli
  • olive oil
  • garlic
  • lemon

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

Method

  1. Cut it into flat-faced pieces, not florets, and dry them. Wet broccoli steams.
  2. Hot tray already in the oven, oil, single layer, and do not turn it for twenty minutes.
  3. It wants to be genuinely dark at the edges — further than looks right. Timid roasted broccoli tastes of nothing and is the reason people believe they dislike it.
  4. Lemon and garlic off the heat, or a scrape of parmesan while it is still hot enough to melt.

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

broccoli
The stalk is better than the florets and most people throw it away.
olive oil
Two ingredients sharing a name.
garlic
Burns in seconds and turns the whole dish bitter, so it almost never goes in first.
lemon
Acid you add at the end, not the start.

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.
