What’s new in Kitchen Assistant?
Coming in version 2.3, Kitchen Assistant brings cooking and nutrition questions into one place. Talk or type, make follow-up changes and turn the conversation into one or several recipes. Each dish can be reviewed, saved to your Recipe Book, used for a grocery shortfall check and opened in Cook. Version 2.3 is not yet available on the App Store.
What kind of nutrition help will it offer?
Ask for practical changes such as adding a source of protein or fibre, reducing richness, or adjusting ingredients for a dietary preference. Kitchen Assistant uses recorded food facts when available. It does not fill in missing data with invented calorie or nutrient totals.
Will I have to use voice?
No. In 2.3 you can type throughout the conversation. Voice is optional, needs microphone permission and a supported device language, and works while Kitchen Assistant is open. Speech is transcribed on your device; the app does not save microphone audio. If you choose an external AI provider, the conversation text and relevant kitchen context are sent to that provider.
Is Bubble & Squeak free?
Yes. Tracking leftovers, reminders, manual recipes, pantry items, shared groceries and household sync stay free. Version 2.3 will add sample imports and scans plus an optional $19.99 one-time Pro purchase in the US. Local App Store prices vary. There is no subscription.
What if I already use the app?
If your App Store history confirms you first got Bubble & Squeak before version 2.3, you keep these Pro features at no charge. Use Restore Purchases in the app if your existing access is not recognized.
Does Pro include AI usage?
Pro unlocks the app’s advanced AI cooking tools. Supported Apple Intelligence features run on compatible devices. External providers use your own API key and may charge separately under their terms; cloud AI credits are not included.
Do I need Apple Intelligence?
No. Leftover tracking, recipes, pantry, groceries and household sharing work without it. Apple Intelligence powers supported AI and scan features when available; external AI providers are optional.
How does household sharing work?
Household recipes, leftovers and other kitchen data sync through iCloud. Your household starts private, and the owner can invite others when ready. Grocery-list collaboration is set up separately in Apple Reminders. In version 2.3, a Pro purchase can also be shared through Apple Family Sharing with up to five other eligible family members. That is separate from an in-app household invitation.
Can I import any recipe link?
Import works with supported pages that provide structured recipe data. You review the ingredients, times, servings and source before saving; unsupported pages are clearly identified.
Does it tell me whether food is safe?
Bubble & Squeak offers timing guidance based on food type, cooking date and storage. It is not medical food-safety advice. When in doubt, discard.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 26 or later. An iCloud account is needed for household setup and sync.
Ready when dinner isn’t
