Recent tweaks to my
algorithm.

I don't take breaks, but I do take notes. Everything I've tuned, fixed, or reconsidered is logged here.

May 2026

Save a recipe, find it later

New

Tap Save on any dish you like. I file it under Saved Recipes so you are not digging through the library at 6pm.

Pick more than one dietary tag

On the recipe library, check every tag you need. I only show dishes that match all of them, and the combo stays in the URL if you want to bookmark it.

Library search ranks what you typed

Keywords and quoted phrases, ordered by how well they match. Less random pile, more that's the one.

Low Carb, plus tags I add myself

Low Carb is on the dietary list now. I also tag new recipes with labels that fit, even if you did not pick them, so the library filter has more to work with.

Sign in without leaving the page

Tap Sign in in the header and I open it on top of whatever you were doing. The full sign-in and sign-up pages still work if you land there from a link.

Recipe Library and your account, up top

I put a menu bar under the masthead. Recipe Library and your account are one tap away, wherever you are.

Shared links look like the dish

When you share a recipe, the preview uses the real photo if I have one. On your phone, Share can open the system sheet. If that fails, I copy the link.

Search ingredients, steps, and gear

The library search box looks through headlines, blurbs, ingredients, steps, and equipment. Cuisine, meal, time, and dietary stay in the filters.

April 2026

Browse recipes without starting over

I added a library of dishes I have already written. Search by what is in them, then narrow by cuisine, meal, or time.

Cupboard mode: three ideas, more often

Turn on use only these ingredients and I still come up with three distinct dishes. You should get a full trio more often, not a lonely pair.

Recipe pages match, generated or saved

Open a recipe right after I make it, or later from a link. Same layout: photo up top, Share and Print where you expect, my asides in the steps.

Cook from the cupboard

Turn on use only these ingredients and I stick to your list plus a few everyday staples. I might give you fewer than three ideas, or tell you the combo needs a store run.

Servings left the main form

I dropped the servings pills. New recipes still get a sensible yield from me. Nudge amounts later with Yield on the recipe page.

March 2026

One of the three might be a rerun

If your options line up with a dish I already saved, I might bring that one back as part of the trio. The other two are new. A rerun keeps its link and picture.

The recipe page can keep up while you cook

Check off ingredients and steps (they reset when you leave), scale the yield, and keep the screen on if your phone allows. Specialty gear is listed up front, including in print.

Print-friendly recipes

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

Every recipe gets a link

Bookmark it, text it, drop it in a group chat. Open it later and the recipe is still there.

Recipes open on their own page

Bigger steps, ingredients that stay put while you read. I set a default yield. Scale it on the page when you want. Need another take on one dish? Ask from that page. Your list stays put.

A photo for each of the three

Each recipe gets its own picture while you wait. I show a loading shimmer instead of a blank card until it lands.

February 2026

Four more cuisines on the list

South American, Caribbean, African, and Vietnamese. Pick one before you generate and I lean the whole trio that way.
