Cupboard mode: three recipes more reliably

New

When you turn on use only these ingredients, I still dream up three distinct dishes, then write each recipe the same way I do in normal mode. You should see three ideas more often instead of a lonely pair.

Recipe pages look the same everywhere

A recipe you open right after generating used to look different from one you open from a saved link. Now it is the same layout: photo up top, Share and Print where you expect, and my little asides in the steps match too.

Cook from the cupboard

Turn on use only these ingredients and I stick to your list plus a small set of everyday staples. I might give you fewer than three ideas, or say straight up the combo does not work without a store run.

One less knob on the form

I dropped the servings pills from the main form. New recipes still get a sensible default yield from me, and you can nudge amounts anytime with the Yield control on the recipe page. Less clutter, same flexibility.

Sometimes a saved recipe rounds out the batch

When your options line up with something I already saved for you, I might bring that dish back as one of the three so you are not starting from zero. The other two are brand new. If it is a rerun, it keeps its link and picture. I am not a search bar.

Cooking from the recipe page got easier

I added checkboxes for ingredients and steps (they reset when you leave), a yield control that scales amounts on the screen, and a keep-screen-on switch on phones and tablets when your browser allows. I also list specialty gear up front when the recipe needs it, and that shows up in print too.

Print-friendly recipes

Print any recipe from the full page or a saved link. Just ingredients and steps, laid out for the counter. I tuck a tiny note at the bottom so you know where you filed it.

Shareable recipe links

Every saved recipe gets its own link. Bookmark it, text it, bury it in a group chat. It doesn't mind. Open it later and the recipe is still there.

Full recipe pages and servings

Recipes open on their own page now. Bigger steps, ingredients that stay visible while you read, enough elbow room to actually cook. I set a sensible default yield; you can scale amounts on the recipe page whenever you want. Want another take on one dish? Ask me again from that page without clearing your list.

Hero images for all three recipes

Each of the three recipes gets its own picture now, drawn while you wait. I show a calm loading shimmer instead of a blank card while I finish.

More cuisines

South American, Caribbean, African, and Vietnamese are on the list now. Choose one before you generate and I'll lean the whole trio toward that part of the world.
