List the dishes you eat on repeat; get one new recipe tuned to how far you're willing to stretch. Every pick is new to you but a plausible hit — grounded in a 2,476-recipe corpus of tested dishes, not improvised.

Most recipe apps optimize for fit — they show you more of what you already eat. The good ones bury you in options and turn discovery into a research project. Neither helps the person who likes to cook, is bored of the rotation, but won't gamble on a recipe that misses.
You list what you actually eat on repeat. You get one destination — a single new dish, tuned to the distance you set:
- A bridge — two or three sentences on why the leap is worth taking, anchored to what you already cook.
- Kept vs. new — which axes stay familiar (flavor, method, format, texture) and which one changes.
- A real recipe — from the corpus: servings, time, ingredients, steps, and the short shopping delta for what's new.
- A souvenir — one technique or ingredient you carry forward.
- Swaps — substitutions for anything hard to find.
React with one tap — would I make this? — and the next pick tunes itself.
Never gamble on a recipe that misses; never stop growing your range. The engine optimizes for calibrated distance, not broad fit.
- A distance dial (1–5) controls leap size — from barely a stretch to the deep end.
- Mood (Wholesome / Neutral / Indulgent) and focus (steer toward a subset of your rotation) shape the pick without touching the distance.
- Hard constraints are absolute — allergies are never served, diet is a hard filter, equipment is a can-you-cook-it gate, and the leap stays inside the meal slot.
Picks come from the 2,476-recipe corpus. The model serves an improvised sketch only when nothing in the corpus fits the calibrated distance — and labels it as one.
