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.

Scotch eggs

Boiled egg, sausage around it, crumbs, hot fat. The yolk should still give. Mustard. Don't use a raw egg and wonder why it leaked.

Why tonight. Boiled egg, sausage around it, crumbs, hot fat. The yolk should still give. Mustard. Don't use a raw egg and wonder why it leaked.

What it needs

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

  • eggs
  • sausage
  • panko
  • dijon

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

Method

  1. Six and a half minutes for the eggs, then straight into ice water. They cook again inside the sausage.
  2. Peel them cold and dry them, then dust with flour so the meat grips rather than sliding.
  3. Wrap in a thin even layer using a sheet of cling film to help, and seal every seam.
  4. Fry at 165C for a few minutes only. Hotter and the crumb burns before the sausage is cooked.

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

eggs
The cheapest way to turn a side dish into dinner.
sausage
Seasoned fat and meat that arrives pre-flavored, so it does double duty as protein and as the base a dish is built on.
panko
Larger, drier and shatterier than ordinary breadcrumbs, which is why it stays crisp when a fine crumb goes soggy.
dijon
Sharpness and, more usefully, emulsifying power — a spoonful is what holds oil and vinegar together in a dressing that would otherwise split.

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.
