How Cibora works

There are two doors in, and most people arrive at one or the other.

Neither asks you to sign up, and neither is a quiz. Both give you an answer on the first screen.

Every recipe carries a score out of ten for how hard it really is to cook — and, more usefully, why. Not a difficulty badge someone guessed at, but reasons you can act on:

• “Searing needs a properly hot pan.”
• “Dough has to prove, so timing is loose.”

The score counts the things that actually catch people out — juggling two pans at once, techniques that need a knack, long ingredient lists. If a recipe is fiddly, it says so before you start rather than in step six.

Open any recipe and there is a cook mode: one step at a time, large enough to read across a kitchen, with the timers already set where a step needs one. You do not have to scroll back through a story to find out how long the onions want.

Anything you like goes into your week, and everything you still need to buy collects itself into one shopping list, sorted by aisle. Mark things off as you cook them and the list keeps up.

You

Your week, your saved recipes, your settings.

• You don't need an account. Your pantry, your week and what you've cooked are stored on your device, not on our servers. An account only matters if you want to post recipes or join the community.
• Allergens are the recipe author's word, not a guarantee. If an ingredient matters to your health, read the ingredient list yourself. The terms say the same thing at more length.
• Prices marked DEMO are demonstration data. They show how the shopping list works; they are not what things cost in a shop today.
