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. Two tins and no heat. Dress the beans on their own first and crush a third of them, or the whole thing rolls off the toast.

What it needs

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

  • tuna
  • white beans
  • lemon
  • olive oil
  • bread

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

Method

  1. Dress the beans on their own first, warm if possible, with lemon, oil and salt. Beans take dressing; tuna does not.
  2. Crush about a third of them with a fork so the mix holds on the toast instead of rolling off.
  3. Tuna folded in last in big flakes, oil-packed and its oil used.
  4. Thick toast, rubbed with garlic, and parsley over. More lemon at the table than you put in the bowl.

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

tuna
Canned in oil is a different ingredient from canned in water; the oil is flavor and should go into the dish, not the sink.
white beans
Creamy enough to thicken what they are in — mash a ladleful against the side of the pot and the whole dish gains body.
lemon
Acid you add at the end, not the start.
olive oil
Two ingredients sharing a name.
bread
Structure, thickener, and the reason a lot of these dishes stretch.

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.
