## What is Hozon?

Keep the recipes you want to cook again.

Hozon brings recipe capture, ingredient-label recreation and a personal cooking journal into one calm kitchen app. Save a recipe from a photo or PDF, review what was recognized and keep your own ingredients, method, photos and notes.

SCAN AND SAVE A RECIPE
Capture a printed recipe or import a photo or PDF. Review the recognized text, adjust the ingredients and steps, then save an editable recipe to your journal. You can also write a recipe from scratch.

TURN A LABEL INTO A HOME RECIPE
Scan a supported food product’s ingredient label and check the recognized ingredients. Hozon uses the ingredient order and available percentages to suggest a home-cooking draft, with editable quantities and a method. Choose a batch size and refine the result to suit your kitchen.

REMEMBER HOW IT TURNED OUT
Add photos, personal notes and dated cooking records. Keep the changes you made and what you would try next time beside the recipe itself. Search your saved recipes when you are ready to cook again.

KEEP YOUR FRIDGE ROUTINE
Hozon’s illustrated fridge remains a home for your pickling batches. Explore pickling recipes, follow preparation and resting times, and use timers and notifications to keep track. Browse seasonal produce, storage guidance, pickling methods and tools.

Ingredient-label drafts are estimates for home cooking, not the manufacturer’s original recipe. Review the ingredients, quantities and method before cooking. Some recipe packs are available as in-app purchases.
