What the app does

Browse by category

Breakfast, dinner, Kurdish, Iraqi, vegetarian, under 30 minutes. Pick a shelf and see photos of what you’ll actually make.

Search by what’s in the fridge

Pick the ingredients you have. Recipes come back ranked by how many of them they use, so dinner starts with what’s already there.

Keep favorites, and your family’s recipes

Tap the heart on anything worth making again. Write down the recipes that were passed down rather than looked up — they stay private to you.

Plan the week

Put recipes on a day and a meal, move them when plans change, and know what’s for dinner before you’re hungry.

Made to cook from, with your hands full

Tick off ingredients as they go in and steps as you finish them. Switch language halfway through — Kurdish and Arabic read right-to-left, and your place stays put.

Try it: this is a recipe card from the app.
