Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

fold · 3mChicken tossed with the spices, oil and lime.
chop · 8mTomato and onion diced small for the salsa, avocado sliced last so it stays green.
grill · 12mChicken in a hot pan, left to char at the edges, then rested and sliced.
simmer · 6mBeans warmed with a little of their liquid and a pinch of cumin.
finish · 3mEverything in its own quarter of the bowl rather than mixed, so each spoonful can be a different combination.
Worth knowing
The bowl is the burrito with the tortilla removed — a restaurant format from the 1990s rather than anything traditional.
