## What is Kitchen Kabinet?

Kitchen Kabinet helps real families figure out dinner — and what to pour with it. Name a protein, describe a craving, or say "30 minutes and the kids will actually eat it" — get a recipe that fits. Over time it learns your family's tastes, so it stops suggesting mushrooms to the kid who hates them.

PICK A REGISTER, NOT JUST A DISH
The same chicken thighs can be a Tuesday sheet-pan dinner, a diner sandwich, or a plated chef's-table course. Choose weeknight, Sunday supper, backyard fire, diner, bistro, or chef's table, and Kabinet cooks in that register — with the technique and the vocabulary to match. It refuses to blur them: a smashburger never arrives on a brioche bun, and a chef's-table plate never arrives family-style.

START WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT
Open the app to a grid of main ingredients, ranked by what you actually cook. One tap on "pork shoulder" gets three ideas in three different registers.

TALK IT THROUGH
Don't know the whole change yet? Just ask. "I only have cider vinegar, will that work instead of sherry?" — Kabinet tells you what it changes and what to adjust to compensate. "Also my tomatoes are plum, not cherry." It keeps a running list of everything you've agreed and rebuilds the recipe once, when you're ready. Nothing changes until you say so.

ELEVATE ANYTHING
Ask for an elevated version of a dish and get real technique — a cure, a reduction, a temperature swap — with exact numbers, plus a substitution ladder for anything you can't get locally. Every change becomes a new variant, so the version you already liked stays exactly where it was.

MULTI-DAY BUILDS
A dish with a cure started three days out and a sauce built separately isn't a numbered list. Kabinet gives each part its own ingredients, steps and lead time, and tells you when to start each one. Change one part without regenerating the rest.

COOK MODE
Step by step, screen stays awake, timers pulled straight out of the steps. Multi-part builds are ordered the way you actually cook them — longest lead time first.

DRINKS, TOO
Cocktails, mocktails, syrups, garnishes, what pairs with dinner. "Walk me through a proper old fashioned" or "something refreshing for a hot night without the booze" gets a real recipe back, with the build, the glass and the dilution.

WEEKLY MEAL PLANNING
Generate a 3-7 day dinner plan with one tap. Don't love a meal? Swap it without regenerating the week. Save the plan — or any one night — straight to your recipes.

SAVE, SCALE, PRINT
Every saved recipe is auto-tagged, searchable and filterable by register. Scale servings with ingredient math that handles "1 1/2 cups" correctly. Imperial or metric, instantly. Print for the fridge or share to a friend.

IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
See a recipe on the web or in a friend's text? Share it to Kitchen Kabinet from the iOS share sheet. No ad-blog scroll-of-doom required.

LEARNS YOUR TASTE
Kabinet picks up what your family likes from every conversation. Allergies and dietary rules are a separate thing entirely: always sent to the model, never guessed at from a single sentence, and never dropped to make room for anything else. Every recipe shows which of your preferences shaped it, and one tap fixes any that are wrong.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your recipes and preferences stay on your device. Preference learning runs on-device using Apple's Foundation Models — no data leaves your phone. Cooking chat goes through our secure proxy with no message storage.

Premium unlocks AI cooking and drink chat, weekly meal planning, and AI recipe changes. Saved recipes, imports, scaling, tags, printing, sharing, cook mode and unit conversion are all free.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-14

Your tastes, handled with more restraint.

Kabinet used to treat a favourite ingredient as something to work into every dish. Now it understands the difference between what you like and what a dish actually wants — if you love hot sauce and Calabrian chillies, that means you lean hot where it makes sense, not that chillies belong in dessert.

• Palate, not a shopping list. Related preferences are understood as one trait rather than a checklist of ingredients to place.
• Every recipe is checked before you see it. Kabinet now catches its own mistakes — an ingredient listed but never used, a step calling for something that isn't on the list, a bake with no oven temperature — and offers to fix each one in a tap.
• Cuisines you cook, one tap away. The traditions you actually return to now appear as suggestions when you set a style, instead of being typed out each time.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-11

CHAT ABOUT A RECIPE — You can now talk through a change instead of having to describe it all at once. "I only have cider vinegar, will that work instead of sherry?" — Kabinet tells you what it changes and what to adjust to compensate. "Also my tomatoes are plum, not cherry." It keeps a running list of everything you've agreed, and rebuilds the recipe once, when you're ready.

Nothing changes until you apply it, so you can ask anything without risking the recipe you already have. Works on a whole dish or on one part of a multi-part build.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-10

Two things from using 1.4.0.

CHANGE ONE PART OF A DISH — On a multi-part build (a cure, a sauce, a pickle, each with its own timing), you can now change just that part instead of regenerating the whole recipe. Everything else stays exactly as it was. If the change moves when you have to start it, Kabinet says so.

ASKING FOR A CHANGE IS EASIER TO FIND — The AI edit used to hide behind a small icon in the toolbar. There's now a proper "Ask Kabinet to change this recipe" field under every recipe, and a "Change this part" button on each component.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-10

Kitchen Kabinet now cooks in registers.

STYLE — Pick how a dish should be cooked, not just what's in it. Weeknight, Sunday supper, backyard fire, diner, bistro, or chef's table. Each one has its own conventions, technique ceiling and voice — and its own refusals, so a smashburger never arrives on a brioche bun and a chef's-table plate never arrives family-style. Effort is a separate dial, because backyard fire covers both a 20-minute chop and an overnight brisket.

START WITH AN INGREDIENT — The chat now opens on a grid of main ingredients, ranked by what you actually cook. One tap gets three ideas in three different registers.

ELEVATE ANY DISH — Ask for an elevated version and get real technique, exact numbers, and a substitution ladder for anything hard to find. Modifications now create a variant instead of overwriting the recipe you liked.

COOK MODE — Step-by-step with the screen kept awake, one-tap timers pulled from the steps, and multi-part builds ordered the way you actually cook them.

REPLIES STREAM — Text appears as it's written instead of after a long wait, with a stop button.

BETTER MEMORY — Allergies and dietary rules are now a separate kind of preference: always sent, never guessed at, never dropped to make room. Recipes show which preferences shaped them, and one tap fixes any that are wrong.

FIXES — Recipe scaling and metric conversion were wrong on mixed amounts like "1 1/2 cups", and "1 c heavy cream" could be misread as a temperature. Meal-plan swaps kept the previous meal's ingredients. Sharing a recipe ignored your scaling. All fixed.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-03

Removed the pantry and shopping list stuff.  Added cocktails, mocktails, and other mixology capabilities.
