Filter the changelog by new recipes or site updates
The What's New page now has All / New recipes / Site updates filter buttons. Each filter updates the URL so you can share or bookmark a view that shows only recently added recipes.
Cook-log recipe links no longer repeat the site address
The pre-filled recipe link in the cook-log form now uses the correct page address instead of occasionally repeating the site URL at the start.
Cook-log button moved to the end of recipes
The 'Log this cook' button now appears at the bottom of each recipe page after the cooking steps and notes. The link now routes through GitHub sign-in first, which helps it open the cook-log form more reliably in mobile browsers.
Cook-log shortcut on every recipe page
Every recipe now has a 'Log this cook' button that opens a pre-filled cook log issue with the recipe name, page link, and today's date, so it's quicker to record notes and family feedback.
Redesigned component-based recipe layout
Recipes built from components (sauces, rubs, sub-preparations) now show each component at the top of the page with its own ingredient list and numbered steps, in the same style as the main recipe. A thumbnail sits in a header card so you can see at a glance what you're about to prepare.
Link previews now show the recipe photo
Sharing a recipe link in Messages, Slack, Discord, Facebook, or similar now unfurls with the recipe's header image, title, and description instead of a plain link.
Keep screen awake while cooking
Recipe pages now have a 'Keep screen awake' checkbox above the directions. Tick it and your phone or tablet won't dim or lock while you're following the recipe.
Brand-new site design
Every recipe page now has a split-hero layout with a large header image. The index has a navy masthead with integrated search and filter pills.
Short description on every recipe
All 99 recipes gained a one-to-two-sentence description that now shows on the index card and at the top of each recipe page.
Smarter search
Search results now rank by relevance — matches in the recipe title come before matches in the description or ingredients.
Type anywhere to search
Just start typing on the home page — the search field focuses automatically and captures your first keystroke.
Filter by category
The home page now has filter pills for Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Pork, Vegetarian, Indian, Asian, Mexican and Sauces.
