How we pick

Dishes are picked at our family table, cooked by our helper, and rated by the family. We link out, we don't copy: other creators' ingredient amounts and steps stay on their page or video. Our own recipes are written out in full. We add the helper view (effort, time, equipment, spice, kid-friendliness), our rating and a new weekly meal plan with a shopping list.
