Simmer

Simmer shows you what the people within 50 miles of you are cooking. Not a celebrity's test kitchen. Not a recipe site with a life story before the ingredients. Someone three streets away made dinner tonight, photographed it, wrote down how, and posted it for the neighbourhood. A FEED OF REAL KITCHENS Open Simmer and the newest recipes near you are waiting. Filter by cuisine. Each post shows a cover photo or video, the dish, the cook's mascot and roughly how far away they are, prep and cook time, and how many it serves. Tap through for the whole recipe. POST A RECIPE IN MINUTES The editor is built in the order a cook thinks: cover, dish and cuisine, time and servings, then ingredients as quantity, unit and name, then steps, each with its own photo or short clip if you want one. Add a full cook-along video, notes, and per-serving nutrition if you know it. A readiness row tells you what is still missing before you publish. REACT, TIP, SHARE Four reactions: Love, Yum, Fire and Wow. One per person per recipe, and you can change your mind. Tip the cook with SPICE: a Pinch, a Dash, a Handful or a Feast. Earn SPICE by finishing quests, keeping your streak, or watching a short ad after you post. Tips land on the recipe and go to the person who cooked it. SPICE has no cash value and cannot be withdrawn. Share any recipe to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X or anywhere else, with the photo attached and a link that opens it in Simmer. YOU ARE A MASCOT, NOT A NAME Design your own cook, from body and colours to hat, apron and the utensil in their hand, or choose from hundreds of community pixel pets. Your real name never appears anywhere in the app. COOK TO GROW Earn XP for every recipe you post and every tip you send. Keep a daily streak. Finish quests. Climb a leaderboard made only of people near you, not strangers on the other side of the world. Your mascot visibly changes as you rise from Sprout to Kitchen Legend. EAT IN A WAY YOU CAN KEEP UP Simmer carries a healthy-eating challenge built on Abbey Sharp's Hunger Crushing Combo: protein, fibre, fat, and something you actually want. It only ever asks one question, what could you add to make this more satisfying, and it asks it wherever you are: at the stove, in a restaurant, or over the sink at 9pm. No calorie counting. No macro tracking. No weights, no targets, no score. YOUR LOCATION STAYS YOURS Other people see a neighbourhood and a rough distance, such as "Camden, about 4 miles". Never your coordinates. Not on a map, not in the app, not anywhere. ADS, ONLY IF YOU ASK There are no banners and nothing plays uninvited. Every ad in Simmer is one you choose to watch, for a stated reward: SPICE after you post, the SPICE you are short of for a tip, or 30 minutes at the wider radius. CHEF PASS An optional subscription widens your radius from 50 to 150 miles and doubles your XP. Chef Pass is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly or annually.
