**Prep Plan** Every structured recipe now gets a practical kitchen readiness report before you start cooking. The app checks ingredients, steps, active time, passive time, make-ahead wording, timed directions, shopping needs, and vague watch points such as "until done" or "to taste." **Readiness Score** Recipe screens now show a clear score and next-best actions so you know whether the card is ready for Cook Mode, needs shopping, or needs a quick human check. **Make-Ahead and Timer Detection** The planner highlights overnight chilling, resting, rising, marinating, baking, simmering, and other timing-sensitive steps so old family recipes are easier to cook from today. **Store Metadata Refresh** Screenshots, support pages, privacy page, and App Store copy now reflect the current interface and 2.4 feature set.

What's New in Version 2.1 Cook Journal Every recipe now has a cook journal. Tap "Cook Journal" on any recipe to log when you made it, give it a 1-5 star rating, and jot notes about what worked and what to change. Over time you build a real family record - "Mom made this every Thanksgiving, 5 stars, always double the brown sugar." The journal shows your cook count, average rating, and last date cooked right on the recipe screen. Multi-Recipe Shopping List Open the Recipe Index, tap the cart icon in the top-right, and select as many recipes as you want. Tap "Build list" and all the ingredients merge into one aisle-grouped shopping list. Perfect for batch cooking or weekly meal prep. Pantry Skip on Shopping Lists Any shopping list now has a "house" icon next to each item. Tap it to mark something as "already have" - it moves to an "Already Have" section at the bottom so your buy list stays clean. Tap again to restore it. The shared list text shows both sections.

Version 2.2 turns your kitchen notes into real recipes. New — a one-tap Make-it-a-recipe parser (ingredients, steps, servings, time), a serving scaler (half/1/2/3x), a keep-awake Cook Mode with step timers, a Kitchen Reference (unit converter, oven-temp table, 61 substitutions, 45 ingredient densities), an aisle-grouped Shopping List, and a printable keepsake PDF cookbook (cover + table of contents). Plus 12 bundled classic starter recipes so you are never staring at a blank book. Still fully offline — no account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription.

Updated app icon and refreshed the App Store build.
