Every recipe keeps its amounts inside the steps, so a recipe scaled to 2 or 12 servings, in US or metric units, reads right all the way through. Search by what's on hand, get a recipe scaled to tonight's table, follow it step by step with timers, plan a few dinners that share ingredients, merge them into one shopping list by aisle and hand it to grocery delivery. Signed in, a cook's allergies, diet and avoid list apply to every result, and anything the assistant saves (recipes, versions, lists, plans) shows up in their kitchen at befana.app. Reading is free; saving needs a free account, and sign-in happens on the first tool that needs it.\n\n**Tools (20)**\n- `search_recipes`: find recipes by keywords, time, diet tags, and ingredients on hand or to avoid\n- `get_recipe`: a full recipe scaled to any servings, in US or metric",
