What it does
An AI cook with a library of tested recipes: say what you feel like (time, calories, diet, what is in the fridge) and Yum answers with a recipe that fits, explained step by step: exact heat, time, degrees, "done when", common mistakes, calories per serving and a cook mode with timers.
Why it matters
Recipes on the internet skip what matters: how hot the pan is, how long it really takes, what "done" looks like. Yum writes every one to the same rule, so it works the first time.
Who it is for
Anyone who cooks at home and wants recipes that work, with calories in plain sight: from "something in 30 minutes" to a week of meals on a daily target.

The story
Why we built Yum
What we noticed
We wanted recipes that work the first time, not 2,000-word blogs with "cook until done".
How we built it
One spec for every recipe (heat, time, degrees, "done when", mistakes, nutrition), then an AI cook that answers only from the library.
What we learned
Cook mode with timers is used more than the chat: people want to cook, not chat.
What comes next
A library of over 1,000 recipes, a short video per recipe and Plus payments.
Updates
What changed.
- Launch on yum.purceas.com: 49 recipes from 22 cuisines, in 10 languages, with "Ask the cook"
- Voice cook mode, installable PWA, food diary, real ratings
