How recipes get their brain label

Every recipe is sorted into a category by checking a few simple things: how many steps it has, how many dishes it uses, and how much prep it needs.

Full Shutdown
  • Very few steps
  • Very few dishes
  • Short prep
  • Hard to mess up
Running on Fumes
  • Still simple
  • A bit more steps
  • A bit more dishes
  • Still doable when tired
Low but Functional
  • More steps are OK
  • More prep is OK
  • Still not β€œcomplicated cooking”
  • Best for better-energy days

It’s not about being β€œgood” or β€œbad” at cooking. It’s about matching the recipe to the brain you have today.
