A new Today
The Today page now opens on what you're about to cook. Type a dish into its one field to create it, or paste a recipe link and the import starts straight away.
Below that is whatever comes next: the dish on the stove, tonight's plan, or on a free evening, a few of your own recipes to plan for dinner in one press.
Then your week at a glance, with its shopping list one press away.
Your own star ratings
Give any recipe your own star rating. Public recipes also show a "Community rating" from other cooks, and in a Family you'll see who gave what, so they'll see yours by name too.
Sort or filter your library by stars to bring your favorites to the top.
Explore by category
Explore now opens on a row of illustrated categories, like breakfast or gluten-free, with recipes for the top ones below.
Categories follow the time of day, and lean toward your diet and the appliances you own.
Improvements6
- Improved recipe pages, which now open on the photo, times and rating, with servings right above the ingredients.
- You can now turn a post that lists ingredients and steps but no amounts into a recipe. Choose Create my recipe and we'll estimate the amounts and mark each guess.
- Improved imports from short YouTube videos, which we now read when the description leaves out the amounts.
- You can now name recipes from your library in a chat with Simmer by typing @ or pasting a recipe link.
- Reopening Simmer now continues your conversation for eight hours, and each chat keeps its unsent text when you switch between them.
- You can now choose one of eight themes in Appearance settings, such as Porcelain, Graphite and Blue Hour, each in light or dark.
