No. All ingredients, pairings and images are inside the app. It works in a kitchen without signal too.

Tap Search and type an ingredient, flavour or dish. Use the chips and the filter sheet to narrow the list by season, category, flavour, mouthfeel and cooking method.

Pick two or three ingredients. You’ll see whether they pair directly and which ingredients connect them: the bridge to a dish. Below that is what goes with only one of your choices.

Every pairing starts as Inspiration: based on kitchen experience and professional sources, but not all tested by us. So always taste.

Tap a pairing and set it to Tested, Confirmed or Rejected, and add a note. That status is just for you and stays on your device.

The app follows your iPhone’s language: Dutch if your device is set to Dutch, English otherwise. In More → Language you can choose either language yourself. The app was first written in Dutch as Proeflepel; the English edition has the same content.

Only on this device. There is no account, so favourites and notes don’t carry over to your iPad or another iPhone by themselves. See the next question.

Go to More → Notes → Export and save the file, for example in Files or via AirDrop. On the new device, choose Import and select that file.

Favourites aren’t included in that export. If you restore a full backup of your old iPhone, favourites and notes usually come along.

By default the app follows your iPhone. In More → Appearance you can choose always light or always dark.

Seasons apply to northwest Europe and are a guide: weather, growing method and origin shift them.

Allergens and diet labels are an indication per ingredient. Always check the packaging or ask your supplier, especially when cooking for someone with an allergy.

Core temperatures and cooking times come from kitchen practice. For food safety, follow the guidance of your national food safety authority, such as the Food Standards Agency in the UK, or your food hygiene plan in a professional kitchen.

We’d love to hear it. Email us the ingredient and what isn’t right. New ingredients and corrections arrive in a later version of the app.
