Sources and method
Recipes are proposals for home cooking, without a claim of kitchen testing. Times are guides. Comparisons use recipe quantities and timings; no market prices, nutrition scores or customer reviews are invented. The new soup image is AI-generated and labelled. Serving and budget tools calculate locally without an account or sending their values to a server.
