The application can also enrich recipes with additional notes, such as possible food substitutions, particularly when importing from specialized sites such as Allrecipes.
The guided cooking feature transformseach recipe video step by step, with the option of using it by voice command for busy hands. Synchronization between devices allows, for example, to start preparation on your iPhone and continue it on iPad using the optionHandoff.
Privacy-friendly technology

The application uses a machine learning systemdirectly integrated into the device, thus guaranteeing the protection of personal data. A technical solution therefore working locally, already tested with Instagram Reels during the summer of 2023.
