What they did
1) Install OH, a potato! on an iPhone and have the cookbook page and a list of ingredients already in your kitchen ready. 2) Use the built-in cookbook scanner to capture the recipe. Let the language model extract its ingredients and instructions, then check the extracted recipe against the page before saving it. 3) Add the ingredients you have and choose a regular meal-planning day with a reminder. Use the app's suggestions to choose meals from your saved recipes that use those ingredients. 4) Put the chosen recipes into your meal plan and build the grocery list for the missing ingredients. Check that list against the kitchen inventory. 5) Share the plan and recipes through household sharing so the person shopping and the person cooking work from the same plan.
