Local Socialite’s Dinner Crisis Averted
Felicity Pritchard’s decision to invite fifteen friends for dinner began to attract concern on Saturday afternoon.
What RecipeJam does about it
RecipeJam keeps your menu and recipes together and easy to cook from, helping turn an ambitious dinner into something resembling a plan.
RecipeJam, in use
A recording of this, in the real application
Choosing recipes, grouping them into a dinner collection, and the combined shopping list.
Filmed in RecipeJam itself, not an animation. Coming shortly.
The menu is a collection
Put the courses in one collection, in the order you will cook them. It is the same tool that holds your weeknight dinners — there is no separate planning mode to learn.
One shopping list, added up
A collection produces a combined list, so the same ingredient asked for by three recipes becomes one line. Amounts are grouped by unit and never converted, because converting needs a density nobody supplied.
Prep separated from the cooking
Recipes keep preparation and method as separate sections, so what can be done on Friday is already distinguishable from what has to happen while people are arriving.
Felicity Pritchard is invented, as is her dinner. We are not going to tell you how it went.
