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. Roast until charred. Sauce at the table.

What it needs

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

  • cauliflower
  • chickpeas
  • cumin
  • olive oil
  • lime

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

Method

  1. Dry the chickpeas hard or they steam instead of blistering. A towel and two minutes.
  2. Cauliflower cut with flat faces so it touches the tray. Round florets sit on one point and never color.
  3. Cumin and oil, 220C, and left alone until there are properly dark edges. Pale cauliflower is a wasted tray.
  4. Yogurt thinned with lime as the sauce, spooned under rather than over so nothing goes soft.

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

cauliflower
Bland when boiled, excellent when browned.
chickpeas
Nutty and sturdy, and they take on whatever they are cooked in rather than adding much of their own.
cumin
Earthy and slightly bitter, and it needs heat to open.
olive oil
Two ingredients sharing a name.
lime
Sharper and more floral than lemon, and it fades faster — juice it the same hour you use it.

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.
