Galley (recipes and provisions)

Galley is the recipe library for the active group.

Recipes vs provisions

  • Recipes are multi-ingredient meals with directions and optional equipment and tags.
  • Provisions are simple single-ingredient items (for example a piece of fruit) for quick planning and snacks.

Both can appear in the Manifest and in cookable-meal matching. See Matching cookable meals.

Actions

  • Create recipe or provision — Use Galley → New (or equivalent) to enter title, ingredients, units, servings, and directions. Link ingredients to Cargo when possible for better cook and shopping accuracy.
  • Edit meal — Open a meal and Edit ingredients, tags, times, or narrative fields. When nutrition is enabled, detail and edit can show per-serving energy/macros (from ingredients or a stored snapshot)—see Nutrition overview and Editing nutrition.
  • Delete meal — Remove the meal from Galley (confirm when prompted).
  • Toggle active for Supply — Mark meals to include in Supply sync. Selection bars show counts.
  • Clear selections — Clear all active meal selections for Supply.
  • Cook / consume — Deduct ingredients from Cargo for the chosen servings. Semantic matching links ingredient names to pantry lines. If stock is short, confirm before cooking with what’s available (short-stock confirm). When nutrition-cook-log-split is on for your account, Cook also places the meal as Prepared on today’s Manifest (reusing an uncooked plan row when present) and may offer Log my serving for personal intake—same plate-up as Manifest Eat. Flags off: Cargo-only cook (no Manifest write).
  • Cargo Quick Eat — From Cargo (when enabled), eating a pantry item auto-uses a linked provision and always lands as today’s Manifest snack with silent partial deduct (no short-stock confirm sheet).
  • Add to Manifest — When cook/log-split is on, schedule this meal via Manifest Add-to-plan with meal and day prefilled; you confirm slot and Add. Hidden when the flag is off.
  • AI generate — Propose recipes from your pantry. Cost: see AI meal generation and AI credits explained (typically 2 credits).
  • URL import — Import a recipe from an HTTPS page, social post, or photo into Galley. Cost: see Import a recipe from a URL and AI credits explained (typically 3 credits).
  • Export / import — Exchange Galley data via the app’s JSON export/import (and REST Galley import for power users).

If the create/edit flow differs, follow on-screen steps. Meal capacity follows the owner’s tier — see Free vs Crew Member.
