About

Your hands are covered in flour. The sauce is doing something weird. You don't have thyme. Call.

Features

Real-time kitchen help

This isn't a recipe database. It's a patient, knowledgeable friend in your ear while you cook. Describe what's happening — what you see, smell, hear — and get guidance in the moment. No scrolling, no ads, no leaving the stove.

"My onions are burning but still crunchy" gets a better answer than searching for caramelized onion troubleshooting.

Work with what you have

Tell the hotline what's in your fridge, your pantry, your mood. It'll help you make something good — not shame you for missing ingredients. Substitutions, improvisations, "good enough" solutions that actually taste great.

Learn by doing

Ask why, not just how. Why does the pan need to be screaming hot? Why rest the meat? The hotline explains as you go, building intuition you'll carry into every meal.

Over time, it remembers your preferences — that you hate cilantro, that you're nervous with fish, that you've been wanting to learn to braise.
