Saved to Recipes

What should I cook tonight?

Two ways to answer it: ask for something new, or pick from what you've already saved.

Say what you fancy.

Type a dinner and Aubergenie AI writes the whole recipe, around the allergies, diet and servings you've saved. It can get this wrong, so if you have an allergy, check every ingredient and label yourself.

Create a Recipe: 'What are you in the mood for?' with 'Something warming and spicy, ready in 30 minutes' typed, For 4, and a Make this button.

Aubergenie's cloud AI runs only when you ask, with Sign in with Apple; the recipes are written by Anthropic's Claude on Aubergenie's server. Switch it off in Settings and everything else still works. Recipes it writes use an allowance you can see in the app.

Or pick from your own.

Your own library, with the app's filters. One tap narrows it to what you can face tonight. These nine are from ours.

From plan to plate.

Put meals on days, shop one list, then cook in big type. The week carries you to dinner.

  1. Plan the week.

    Put meals on days, or let Plan My Week suggest them from the recipes you've saved. Leftovers land on the days they'll be eaten, and Today shows what's next.

    The Plan tab's Today page: the week along the top, and under Dinner a Cook tonight card for Satay Chicken with a Start Cooking button.

  2. Shop one list.

    Everything for the week, merged and in aisle order. Tick things off in the shop; with iCloud on, the list follows you between your own Apple devices.

  3. Cook in big type.

    One step at a time, and a timer wherever the recipe says so. With alarms allowed it rings even when your iPhone is locked, and shows in the Dynamic Island on iPhones that have one. On a Mac, timers arrive as notifications.

Try the beta.

Aubergenie is in beta, free to try through TestFlight, Apple's app for trying apps before they reach the App Store. We're letting people in a few at a time, because each tester's AI recipes cost us to write, so tell us a little about what you cook. Bringing your own recipes with the AI switched off is just as welcome.
