Far from home.
You, learning their way
A quieter kitchen.
Missing you, tooIn the illustration, Grandma's Red-Braised Pork Belly travels from Grandma's kitchen to the one far from home. A first-try photo comes back: “First try!! The whole hallway came by.” Grandma answers: “Next time, ten more minutes.”
We never replace their words. We just add a ~ for “about.”

Edible asks a few too.
Does Mom need to download anything?
Only if they want to add the videos themselves. Otherwise Mom just props up a phone, cooks and talks like always, and sends you the videos to add.
Is there any special gear?
Just Mom's phone, leaned anywhere it can see the stove and her hands.
Do they have to speak English?
For now, Edible works in English. Translation rolls out during early access, with more languages over time, and their own words will always stay on top.
What if the dish takes all day?
She can film it in pieces, stop for the overnight soak and pick up again in the morning. Every video goes into the same recipe.
How does Edible write the recipe?
It uses AI to watch and listen to the videos, then writes the steps. Amounts stay in the cook's own words, with an estimate like ~1 cup beside them, and their stories come along too.
I've never really cooked. Can I do this?
Yes. Every step comes with a clip of Mom doing it and amounts you can measure, so your first try can be tonight. Cheaper than takeout, too.
Who can see our recipes?
Your family. Send any recipe to a brother, a cousin or the family group chat, and you choose who gets each one.
How much does it cost?
It's free during early access.
This Sunday, 10:00 am?
Teaching is how they say I love you. Asking is how you say it back.
they'll love being asked.
- Any phone
- No measuring for the cook
