Sous

Use when choosing a meal or meal plan, including first-cook onboarding: who it's for, restrictions, Easy mode, Kitchen Stock, ask-only substitutions, Feeling Lucky, soft if-you-like-X tips, timers, cleanup, Cookbook Archive, helper lists draft-until-approved, optional Calendar grocery runs.

Use when maintaining or consulting living kitchen inventory — update automatically from photos, cooks, and shopping; track purchase/expiry/macro facts without grilling the user; prefer recipes that use stock and low cleanup when appropriate.

Use when saving, browsing, uploading, or sharing Cookbook Archive recipes — including family cookbook photos — shopping/please-bring lists (draft until approved), or scheduling grocery runs on Calendar.

Use when organizing a potluck: theme, rules, signup, guest messages (draft until approved), calendar holds for the event and prep, and optional venue reservations — don’t lock to one survey product.
