For agents and developers

Let your agent plan dinner. The author still serves it.

Claude and other agents can search Stovetab, scale ingredients, keep your shopping list and log what you cooked. When it's time to cook, they send you to the recipe's author.

The author-first rule

Agents get the shopping list. Authors get the visit.

Find

Search, similar recipes from other sites, and ingredients scaled to any servings in metric or US units.

Shop

One shopping list across recipes, merged and sorted by aisle, with items to tick off.

Remember

Saves, cooks with stars and notes, and a link to share what you made.

Add

Any recipe page by its address, or a recipe of your own.
