Mestolino: Recipes & Servings

On Mestolino the post is the recipe, not a photo of the recipe. Every recipe has ingredients with their amounts, servings, steps and times. That's why Mestolino can do what a caption can't: recalculate the quantities, estimate the nutritional values, find a substitute for a missing ingredient, put together the shopping list. AMOUNTS THAT ADAPT Choose how many people you're cooking for: the quantities of all the ingredients are recalculated. For biscuits, meatballs and muffins you can start from the number of pieces: ask for 60 biscuits and the amounts follow. “DON'T HAVE IT” Missing an ingredient? Tap it and Mestolino suggests up to 3 substitutes from its food catalogue, with the equivalent amount and a short note. Quantities, calories and nutritional values update straight away, and the modified recipe carries over to cooking mode and the shopping list too. MAKE YOUR VERSION Start from a recipe you like, change it the way you make it and publish it as your version, with a link to the original. ESTIMATED NUTRITIONAL VALUES Kcal, protein, carbohydrates and fat per serving, estimated from the ingredients using the food database of Italy's CREA. They are estimates: they do not replace the advice of a professional. COOKING MODE One step at a time, with timers and the screen staying on while you cook. Under the steps you'll find how the dish should turn out and what to watch for, and the total time includes rising and resting. Hands covered in dough? Turn on “Hands-free” and say “next”, “back” or “start timer”: your voice is recognised on the phone, never sent or saved. STARS AND “WHO COOKED IT” Tried a recipe? Share how it went with a photo, stars and a couple of lines. Under every recipe you'll find photos from the people who cooked it before you, and in search you can pick recipes rated 4 stars and up. COMMENTS Pay a compliment, ask for advice, reply to the people who cooked your recipe. RECIPE CHECK Before you publish, an AI check flags odd amounts, ingredients missing from the list, times and calories that are off the scale, and suggests how to fix them. You always decide: apply, ignore or publish anyway. SAVE IN ONE TAP The bookmark puts the recipe in “Saved”; press and hold it to choose another cookbook. In your profile you'll find your saved recipes and the ones you liked. SEARCH As you type, Mestolino suggests recipes, ingredients, categories, regions and authors, and it also recognises the different names of the same dish. Search with or without an ingredient, by category, diet, season, region, country, time and kcal per serving. WHAT I HAVE AT HOME Enter the foods you have and find the recipes you can make, with what's missing. SHOPPING LIST The ingredients of the recipes you choose become your shopping list, sorted by aisle. PUBLISH AND FOLLOW Publish your recipes with photos of the steps, follow the people whose cooking you like, collect recipes in your cookbooks.
