Changelog

Three weeks since my last update and I've been rebuilding big parts of the app. This one is mostly visual, but I added some useful stuff too.

🎨 A Fresh Look Everywhere

The biggest change this month: I redesigned most of the app. Recipes, Discover, cookbooks, settings, the shopping list, and the meal plan all look cleaner now. Better spacing, nicer cards, things feel more consistent.

Content pages like recipes, cookbooks, and the recipe editor now go full-screen. More room to read and edit. Back navigation should also make more sense now.

📝 New Create Recipe Flow

Adding a recipe manually no longer opens a tiny dialog. There's a dedicated full-page editor now, same form as when you edit an existing recipe. Much nicer when you're typing out ingredients and instructions.

📖 Recipe Page Redesign

I cleaned up the recipe page again. Time, difficulty, calories, rating, and comments sit in a compact bar at the top now, so you don't have to scroll to find the basics.

Cooking Mode has a floating button on the recipe page. One tap and you're in.

📚 Custom Cookbook Colors

You can pick a cover color when creating or editing a cookbook. Makes it easier to spot your collections.

🍽️ Meal Plan Overhaul

I rebuilt the meal planner:

• Daily macro bars for protein, carbs, and fat

• Copy a meal to another slot without adding it again

• Copy your whole week to next week in one go

• Cleaner day cards and a simpler empty state

🛒 Shopping List Refresh

Same story for the shopping list:

• Actions live in a dropdown now (share, copy, clear checked items, etc.)

• Items grouped more clearly, with nicer check-off animations

• New dialog to wipe checked items in bulk

✨ AI & Nutrients

AI-generated recipes now get nutrient analysis automatically. Macros and calories show up when you generate a recipe.

📥 Smarter Imports & Parsing

Mostly under the hood, but worth knowing:

• 622+ website importers now

• Trickier YouTube videos should import more reliably

• Cooking Mode handles duplicate ingredients better. Same name, different amounts? Each mention in the steps gets the right one (most of the time).

• Ingredient parsing prefers the recipe's language over your UI language

• Teaspoons and tablespoons no longer get converted to milliliters when you switch to metric

🏠 Better First Impressions

Redesigned empty states if your library is still empty. Clearer buttons to import, scan, or generate your first recipe.

Settings got reorganized too. Profile and membership up front, preferences easier to find.

🛠️ Smaller Fixes & Polish

• Floating action buttons on a few key screens

• Cleaner upgrade prompts in the sidebar and settings

• Better empty states for cookbooks

• Smarter back button when you're in full-screen pages

• Discover filters and cookbook menus cleaned up

💚 Thank You

I've updated the recipe import system and added support for 55 new websites!

I've also fixed some issues with existing importers to make them more reliable and accurate.

This brings the total number of officialsupported sites to over 500 🤯
Most other websites also work.
You can now import recipes from even more of your favorite food blogs and recipe websites directly into Mr. Cook.

Just paste a link when you import a new recipe and Mr. Cook will automatically import all the details.

You can see the full list of supported websites to check if your favorite is included.

Happy cooking!

I've made a small but hopefully useful improvement to the shopping list. Now, when you check off an item, it will automatically move to the bottom of the list. This should make it easier to see what you still need to grab at a glance. No more scrolling through a long list of checked items to find the one thing you missed!

Happy shopping! 🛒
