Recipe card

The recipe opens on its image, its difficulty level and its total time, then three cards give the prep, the cooking and the number of guests. Below, a selector: your user goes from four to six people with one tap, and the whole ingredient list recalculates in front of them. Quantities come out as readable fractions, a cup and a half of rice, three quarters of a spoon of garlic, never in decimals. Spices that fall too low become a pinch, and salt and pepper do not move at all: they are marked as not multipliable. The chosen number is kept on the device, and the recipe reopens where your user left it.

A restaurant publishing the recipes from its menu, a caterer supporting its boxes, a cooking school, a grocery brand showing what to do with its products: you supply the text of the recipe, the layout and the math are already there. Nothing to convert, nothing to maintain in a spreadsheet on the side.

A recipe is not an article: you don't read it end to end, you follow it, hands busy, looking for the line where you left off. That is what this section gives, and it is also why it earns its place the day your user has two more people at the table than planned.
