Summary
The app will give you a list of the timings you need for a meal, based on all the preparation, cooking, and serving steps you provide. A 'meal' is anything with a recipe, so includes things like cakes and desserts.
Setting Up Ingredients
- For each ingredient, enter its name and other details.
- Also set up items of equipment you need (pots, pans, etc.)
Setting Up a Meal
- Select the ingredients and equipment for the meal.
- For each ingredient, specify the amount and enter the preparation steps - the order you carry out the steps, and how long they take.
- For each main ingredient or item of equipment, enter the times when you add or combine the other ingredients.
- Specify any other cooking and serving steps you need.
Showing the Time Line for a Meal
- Choose the meal, then enter the time you want to serve it or start preparing it.
- The app will then show a list of timings, using all the details you've previously entered.

A number of example meals are included, so you can see how all the important features work.
