Step 1
One control, every quantity
The serving control sits at the top of every recipe. Tap + or − and the entire ingredient list rewrites itself in place. No modal, no "recalculate" button, no waiting.
Want to bake a single loaf instead of three? Halve a meal-prep recipe down to dinner-for-two? It's a single tap.
Step 2
Quantities scale, not the recipe
The scaling pass touches numbers and units, never instructions. "Whisk for 30 seconds" stays the same whether you're feeding two or twenty — only the amounts change.
Items without measurements ("a pinch of salt", "to taste") stay untouched, because that's how cooks actually use them.
Step 3
Smart fractions, sensible rounding
No 0.6667 cups of milk. We render quantities as kitchen-readable fractions — ½, ⅓, ¾, 1¼ — and round at the precision that actually fits a measuring cup.
Where a unit conversion makes more sense than a fraction (8 tbsp instead of ½ cup, say), we offer it as a tap.
Cook for any table size.
Open a recipe, tap +/−, and the ingredients adjust around you.
