Building an AI sous chef for home cooks

About

Software engineer who got hooked on using LLMs for cooking. The problem? Great recipes scattered across dozens of chat threads. Want to update one? First you have to find the right chat, then make your changes, then try to get a clean overview of the full recipe again. It was a mess. Daily Simmer is the app I kept wanting to exist: AI recipe creation with proper save, organize, remix, and a step-by-step cooking assistant.
