The loop

Set the target. The week keeps it.

Your target is a few lines in a plain-text template. The report checks the whole week against it; where it misses, CookBot makes the fix, and every edit is listed in the chat, one click to undo.

Why this works

Because your recipes are data.

Every recipe is a plain-text .cook file you own — readable in any editor, today and in fifty years. Because the whole collection is structured data, a report can check it and an AI can plan from it. No database, no lock-in.

Plain text, yours forever Every AI change is one click to undo Open spec & open-source editor

Start with the recipes you already love.

Install the editor, bring in the recipes you already cook — links from recipe sites import free — and set your first target this week.

Questions

Where does the nutrition data come from?

From the hosted Cook nutrition service: per-ingredient estimates with confidence levels and sources, aggregated across each recipe and the whole week. It comes with Cook Basic and Cook Pro.

Do I have to log meals or weigh food?

No. The week is checked before it starts — the report runs over the plan, not over what you ate. You cook the plan; the numbers were already verified.

Does it work with my own recipes?

Yes — that's the point. Import recipes from any recipe site for free (photos and social links come with Cook Basic); they become plain-text files you own, and every plan is built from them.

What's free and what's paid?

The editor, mobile apps, and report templates are free. Sync and the nutrition engine behind the checks come with Cook Basic; CookBot, which plans and fixes the week for you, is Cook Pro.
