01 / THE IDEA
Saved recipes should be useful, not buried.
People discover food in videos, posts and links, then lose the useful details when it is time to cook. HomeChef Mini reduces that gap: import once, then get a clean recipe with the information needed in the kitchen.
02 / PRODUCT
One small app. A surprisingly complete cooking flow.
translate()Recipes in the right language
Translate the recipe so the person actually cooking can follow it clearly — especially useful across multilingual households.
check.allergens()Allergen awareness
Surface common allergen information and personal warnings where they matter, without making the cooking experience feel clinical.
simplify()Kitchen-first information
Ingredients, steps, nutrition estimates and useful context are organized around cooking, not around the source platform.
03 / FLOW
Designed to disappear between discovery and cooking.
