Cookestra is a decision-first cooking companion that turns your mood, time, preferred cuisine and ingredients on hand into one confident answer for the table. DECIDE WHAT TO COOK • Follow a short editorial survey for a personal recommendation. • Search by dish or ingredient, explore 12 cuisines, or choose Surprise Me. • Start with what is already in your kitchen and find compatible recipes. • Explore 1,279 carefully authored recipes, including 378 Chef+ editions. COOK WITH CONFIDENCE • Follow clear, step-by-step cooking instructions. • Listen to spoken guidance and move through steps with Siri when your hands are busy. • Keep timers visible with Live Activities and Dynamic Island. • Control an active cooking session from Apple Watch. • Switch between authored metric and imperial measurements. • Review allergens, critical temperatures and food-safety notes without a paywall. COMPLETE THE TABLE WITH CHEF+ Chef+ brings planning, technique and service into one quiet, premium workspace: • The Week creates a varied seven-dinner plan and consolidated shopping list. • The Table composes a coherent guest menu around time, budget and dietary needs. • The Service coordinates several dishes, parallel timers and spoken cues so every plate finishes together. • Build tasting menus, study progressive Mastery programs, open technique and plating guides, and discover curated Editions. • Let My Kitchen remember trusted substitutions, household tastes, serving preferences and your own cooking notes.
