## What is PantryBook?

PantryBook is your personal recipe book, powered by AI. Snap a photo of any recipe —
  handwritten cards, cookbook pages, PDFs, or websites — and AI extracts it into a
  beautiful, searchable format in seconds.

  MISO, YOUR SOUS CHEF
  Type whatever ingredients you have on hand. Miso assesses what's possible, detects
  cuisine affinities, and crafts a complete recipe with quantities, instructions, and
  nutrition — all in under 10 seconds. If your ingredients lean Thai and Italian, he'll
  ask which direction you want to go.

  TECHNIQUE LIBRARY
  Build your culinary skills with a curated collection of professional cooking
  techniques. Cook a technique three times to earn mastery. Each technique includes the
  food science, precision variables, and a pro tip from Miso.

  COOK MODE
  Step-by-step instructions with built-in timers that survive screen sleep. Technique
  badges appear at relevant steps so you learn while you cook.

  SMART GROCERY LISTS
  Generate grocery lists from your meal plan. Ingredients are merged intelligently — no
  duplicates, grouped by aisle, ready to shop.

  MEAL PLANNING
  Drag recipes onto a weekly calendar. Auto-fill suggests meals based on your favorites,
  what you've cooked recently, and what's in season.

  NUTRITION TRACKING
  AI estimates macros for every recipe. Track your daily intake with Apple Fitness-style
  rings, streaks, and trend charts. Set goals based on your body stats.

  RECEIPT SCANNER
  Photograph grocery receipts to track spending by store. See price trends over time and
  stay on budget.

### 5/5 — Finally, a meal planner that actually works

Clean, simple, and genuinely useful.
