Marrow turns cooking into a game with a globe on it. Spin the world, land on a country, and get real dish ideas from that cuisine — then actually cook one and log it. Every dish you pin sticks a flag on your personal globe, building a map of everywhere you've cooked from over time. Get a recipe however's easiest. Paste one from a site, drop in a link and Marrow fetches it automatically, snap a photo of a recipe card or cookbook page, or just ask AI to write one from scratch for a dish you land on. Combine sides and mains from different sources into one post — Marrow merges the ingredients and orders the steps together. Cook Mode walks you through it step by step, checking off ingredients as you go, with servings that scale live and steps that stay linked to the right amounts. Rank what you cook. A 0–10 scale, not stars — rate a dish once you've actually made it, and see how your take compares to everyone else who's cooked the same recipe. Follow other cooks, see their dishes in your feed, react and comment, and build streaks for cooking regularly. Every profile tracks countries visited, dishes logged, and cooking streaks. Remix any recipe with AI — more protein, fewer calories, dairy-free, whatever you need — and it comes back as its own linked variant, never overwriting the original. Marrow estimates macros per serving so you know roughly what you're eating without turning cooking into a spreadsheet, and clearly labels those estimates as estimates. It also flags common allergens automatically as you build a recipe. Spin the world. Cook what you land on. Pin it forever.
