Paste a recipe, a link, a screenshot, or photos of the instructions on your iPhone. Cook turns it into short steps and puts one huge step, what comes next, and a timer on the display of your Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. Flick your wrist for the next step.
Coming soon · not on the App Store yetYour iPhone does the reading and the thinking. The glasses show only what you need right now, big enough to read across the kitchen.
Paste recipe text or a URL, drop in a screenshot, or take up to three photos of a cookbook page or the back of a packet. The Paste chip reads "Paste link" when your clipboard holds one.
An AI model reads the recipe into a dish name, an ingredient list with quantities, and short steps. Any step with a real wait gets its own timer. If it is not a recipe, Cook says so and leaves the glasses alone.
The display shows the step in huge type, what the step uses, what is next, and the timer. Flick your wrist to move between steps and pinch to run the timer. The phone and the glasses stay in step either way.
White and orange on black, because on these glasses black is see-through. Every screen keeps a control guide along the bottom, so you never have to remember which gesture does what.

Cook listens to the Neural Band that pairs with the glasses. Small wrist tilts and hovers are ignored on purpose, so a bump against the counter does not start a timer.
The glasses stay simple because the phone app does the heavy lifting.
Every recipe Cook reads is kept on the phone, in a two-column grid with search, All / Favorites / Scaled filters, and step, serving and calorie badges on a cover coloured from the dish name. Star favorites, rename, delete, and cook one again without another model call. Favorites never age out; everything else keeps the newest 80.
A servings stepper when the recipe says how many it feeds, or Half / 1x / 2x / 3x when it does not. Anything from 0.25x to 8x. Quantities, calories and the glasses all follow.
When a recipe lists more than one way to cook it (microwave, air fryer, oven, stovetop, grill, pressure cooker), tap a chip to swap in those steps. Or type any method and Cook builds the steps for it.
Say what was wrong, like "skip prep", "fewer steps" or "air fryer only". Cook rebuilds from the original recipe plus your note and re-sends step one to the glasses.
Check circles, short notes, per-item calorie estimates, a running kcal readout, and protein, carbs and fat totals when the recipe allows an estimate.
Tap a quantity to cycle its units, weight to weight or volume to volume. Pick Metric or US as the default.
Every wait in the recipe becomes a one-tap timer, like "Boil salted water 10:00". Add up to four more for the other pots. You get a notification when any of them finishes.
Tap the speaker, or have Cook read each step as it comes up, including when you moved it from your wrist. Music ducks instead of stopping.
A Live Activity shows the step itself with Pause and Next buttons. Siri and Shortcuts cover next step, previous step, start the timer, and read my step.
The screen stays on while a recipe or timer is running. Checked items, units, servings, your step and every timer survive a relaunch.
Cook works without one. Sign in with email, a one-time code, or Apple to bring your recipes, favorites and settings to a new phone.
Tap the microphone and Cook takes spoken commands, and answers out loud. A green VOICE pill on the glasses tells you it is listening, so you never have to pick up the phone to check.
Cook is in development and not on the App Store yet. Leave your email and we will tell you when it is ready for your glasses.
