Yummable
Yummable is an iOS app that treats cooking as cultural travel. Each journey is a country, each dish starts with its origin story, and every cooking step keeps the cultural context alive. Designed and coded solo using Claude.
Yummable is for people who are curious about food, not just hungry. Most recipe apps get you to the ingredients as fast as possible. Yummable slows that down on purpose.
Every dish has an origin. Every ingredient has a reason. The app is built around that context. Cooking becomes a way to travel.
// onboarding
Two questions and you're in
Flavor preferences and explorer type. That is all the app needs before it knows what to show you.
// home + explore
Organized by country, not category
Home asks “Where to today?” Explore is a world map, not a category browser. Brazil and Colombia are both Latin American, but they are different places with different stories.
// the journey
Story first, then cook
Each dish opens with the origin, migration route, and the reason it tastes the way it does. Cook mode shows only what you need for the current step. Cultural notes appear inline, not buried above where they get skipped.
Origin story, step-by-step cook mode, cultural notes inline at the moment they matter.
// passport
Track countries, not recipes
Passport collects the countries you have cooked from. It reads like a travel record. Each stamp represents something you actually made.
// create
Build a journey the same way you explore one
Same structure as exploration. Set the scene, add the story, then the ingredients. Anyone can add to the library.
// how it was built
Designed and coded solo using Claude, from the first screen to the last.
Set up the visual rules once so every screen would feel like the same product. Then built it all: onboarding, home, explore, journey, passport, create.
