Cook Plan
Kitchen Basics
The core skills behind every recipe. Short lessons, read one before you cook, or whenever you're curious.
Master these and you can cook far beyond the recipes here.
Cook's Notebook
Where the best cooks keep their edge, tweaks, ratios, and what to try next time.
Calorie & macro calculator
A quick estimate of your daily calories and protein / fat / carbs. Uses UK units (kg, cm).
Know your cuts
Pick an animal, tap a part, and see what it's best for, with dishes to try.
Buying the right cut for the method is half of cooking meat well.
Foundations of Cooking
A complete beginner's course, built like culinary school. Each step: learn a technique, then cook easy dishes that put it into practice.
Work through it in order, or dip in wherever you like, every dish is yours to cook any time.
Finish this and you're not following recipes any more, you're cooking.
The Culinary Course
The next level, taught like culinary school: butchery, sauces, pastry, raw fish and more. Each step: learn an advanced technique, then cook the dishes that demand it.
Best after the beginner course, but dip in wherever you feel ready.
Work through these and you can hold your own in any kitchen.
The Professional Kitchen
The final year, taught like a working kitchen: butchery, charcuterie, the great sauces, viennoiserie, fine-dining plating, plus how a real kitchen is run, costed and kept safe.
Best after the beginner and intermediate courses.
This is where cooking becomes a craft you could do for a living.

What Sous stores. Your name, cooking preferences, allergies, saved recipes, calendar, pantry list, and cook history are stored locally in your browser ([localStorage]). [As of this version, none of this is sent to or stored on a server we control.] If a future version adds account sync, this section must be rewritten to describe what's collected, where it's stored, and for how long.
Voice features. Sous uses your device's built-in speech recognition and text-to-speech (the Web Speech API) for hands-free cooking mode. Voice recognition may be processed by your browser/device manufacturer's own cloud service (for example, Google's or Apple's), we do not receive or store your audio ourselves. Check your browser's own privacy policy for how it handles voice data.
Allergy & dietary data. Allergy and cuisine preferences you enter are used only to filter what's shown to you inside the app. See the Allergy Disclaimer below, this is a convenience filter, not a medical safety system.
Analytics & advertising. [Describe any analytics tools (e.g. none / Plausible / Google Analytics) and whether you show ads or use any third-party tracking. If you add any, this section and your cookie/consent banner must be updated.]
Third parties. [List any third-party services you integrate, payment processor, grocery affiliate links, hosting provider, and link to their own privacy policies.]

Acceptance. By using Sous, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
What we provide. Sous is a cooking-assistance tool, meal suggestions, planning, shopping lists, and cooking guidance. It's provided "as is," without warranty that recipes, timings, or nutritional/allergen information are complete, accurate, or error-free.
Your content. Recipes you create under "Teach Sous a recipe" remain yours. By adding them, you confirm you have the right to share them and grant Sous a license to store and display them back to you within the app.
Acceptable use. Don't use Sous to upload unlawful, infringing, or harmful content, or to attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer the service beyond what's permitted by law.
No liability for outcomes. Cooking involves inherent risks (heat, sharp tools, ingredients, allergens). To the fullest extent permitted by law, [Your Company Name] is not liable for any injury, illness, allergic reaction, or property damage arising from use of the app or its recipes.
Payments & subscriptions. [Fill in once payments exist: pricing, billing cycle, refund policy, and cancellation process.]
Changes. We may update these terms or the app itself; continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law. [Specify the jurisdiction whose laws govern this agreement.]

This is a convenience filter, not a medical safety system. Allergy and dietary tags in Sous are based on information entered by you and by whoever created each recipe (including Sous's built-in library and anything you or others add under "Teach Sous a recipe"). They are not verified by any food-safety authority, dietitian, or medical professional.
Always check ingredients yourself. Ingredient lists, brands, and preparation methods change. Ingredients can also be mislabeled, substituted, or cross-contaminated during preparation in ways the app has no way of knowing about. Always read actual product labels and use your own judgment before eating anything, especially if you have a severe or life-threatening allergy.
Not medical advice. Nothing in Sous, including allergy filtering, cooking levels, or nutritional information if shown, is medical, dietary, or nutritional advice. Consult a doctor, allergist, or registered dietitian for guidance specific to your health.
No liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, [Your Company Name] is not responsible for any allergic reaction, illness, or other harm resulting from reliance on information in this app.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, including a severe allergic reaction, contact emergency services immediately, do not rely on this app.
