How it works
Three steps to tonight's dinner.
Show us your kitchen.
Glance in the fridge and pantry and tap what you see — or speak it: "two cups of chicken soup, half a roast chicken, a jar of olives." Nothing gets rejected; a rough picture is enough.
Get real dinner ideas.
CAVTAR turns your ingredients into complete recipes with amounts, timing, and steps — built around what you actually have, and honest about the one or two things worth buying to make it authentic.
Cook along.
A guided cook-along walks you step by step, with built-in timers, so dinner comes together without juggling a recipe card and a phone lock screen.

FAQ
Good questions.
Do I need to buy special ingredients?
No. CAVTAR starts from what's already in your kitchen and builds complete recipes around it. When a dish is an ingredient or two away from authentic, it says so honestly — but there's always something real to cook with what you have.
What about things I don't eat?
Tell CAVTAR once — no pork, no cilantro, no mushrooms, whatever you avoid — and every recipe respects it. Always double-check ingredients yourself; CAVTAR works from what you tell it.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. CAVTAR runs in your phone's browser — nothing to install — and it's made to sit on the counter while you cook, timers and all.
Can I cook in Spanish / Portuguese / French?
Yes. CAVTAR speaks English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and French, in metric or imperial — and you can switch either one mid-recipe.
How do I cancel?
In the app: tap your plan name, then Cancel subscription. It takes effect at the end of your billing period, and you keep access until then.
What happens when I hit my daily limit?
CAVTAR lets you know, and your count starts fresh the next day — on the free plan, the next week. If you keep bumping into the ceiling, moving up a plan takes a minute in the app.
