How it works

From a photo to dinner, then to the diary.

You photograph a plate or type a dish name. Cook EZ writes a recipe you can cook in your kitchen, then logs the calories if you want them. The cook streak is the day you actually cooked.

A home-cooked plate photographed so Cook EZ can write the recipe

Snap

Photograph a dish, a fridge shelf, or a menu. You can also type birria tacos, or paste what is sitting in the crisper.

Cook

Open Cook Mode. Steps, timers, and temperatures sit on the counter while your hands are wet.

Track

Log the plate from the photo, a barcode, search, or quick add. Barcode, search, quick add, and repeat logging never spend credits.

The recipe engine

A recipe you can stand at the stove with.

The model names the dish, then writes quantities, times, and doneness cues against your taste profile. Allergens are flagged. Nutrition is estimated per serving. You still check the labels and cook to a safe temperature.

  • Dish name and cuisine from the photo
  • Ingredients with quantity, unit, and a substitution when it helps
  • Steps with time, temperature, and a doneness cue
  • Allergen flags you can verify against the packet
  • Calories and macros estimated per serving
  • Diet, equipment, skill, and time applied before the first step
  • Hero photo plus optional per-step images
  • Share a recipe card in 9:16, 4:5, or 1:1

The checklist is how Cook EZ writes recipes. It is product guidance, not a lab assay and not medical advice.

Taste profile

Diet, allergies, and the pans you own, before the first step.

A plate photographed to share into Cook EZ

Share a photo in

Photos, Instagram, Safari, and Messages can open Cook EZ as a share target.

Inside the app

You keep the last edit before it hits the pan.

Cook EZ drafts the recipe. You can change an ingredient, skip a step photo, or log a smaller portion. Nothing ships to the stove until you say so.

Edit every line

Change an ingredient, a time, or a title before you cook. Nothing is locked after generation.

Step photos

Optional images for each step so you can match the pan in front of you.

Identify the dish

Low confidence opens a short list. Is this shawarma, or tacos al pastor?

Share a photo in

Use the camera, the library, or the OS share sheet from Photos or Instagram.

Cards you can share

Export 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 2:3, or 16:9. No watermark on Pro.

Cook Mode timers

Step timers keep running if you lock the phone. A loud alert when the simmer is done.

Cook streak

Light the flame after you cook. Track cook days per week. Celebrate 3, 7, and 30 days.

Cook streak

A flame for the days you actually cook.

Cook EZ counts cook days, not recipe drafts. Light the flame after you cook, pick a weekly goal during onboarding, and get a kind reminder before midnight if today is still dark.

Daily cook flame

One tap when you cook. Generating four recipes still counts as one streak day.

Weekly goal from day one

Pick how many cook days you want each week. A ring on home shows the gap.

Streak-protect reminders

Optional local notifications at an hour you choose. Kind copy, never a guilt trip.
