Track new recipes tried on iPhone. Log each dish you cook, build toward 52 or 100 this year, and handle takeout weeks without a streak reset. Free to download.
A goal to cook 52 new recipes this year sounds like one per week — manageable, seasonal, a way to expand what's in the rotation. Then a busy month arrives. The weeks with takeout and frozen meals stack up. The streak breaks.
The frustrating part: you cooked four new recipes the previous month. You were ahead. But a habit tracker doesn't carry forward surplus. It resets on the first week you don't try something new.
Recipe goals track culinary exploration, not daily cooking consistency. Some weekends you cook three new dishes from a new cookbook. Some weeks you eat from the same five rotation meals. Both happen. Neither erases the other.
A recipe counter shows 28 of 52. The takeout months don't subtract from the dishes you already cooked. Cook another one whenever you're ready.
One new recipe per week reaches 52 in a year. Two per week reaches over 100.
Cooking goals are about expanding a repertoire. "100 new recipes this year" ends at 100. Busy weeks mean takeout; free weekends mean three new dishes. The count reflects actual culinary exploration, not daily cooking consistency.
A week of takeout resets a cooking check-in streak when you've already tried 35 new recipes. The 35 are the progress. The streak shows a gap.
Two new recipes per week reaches 100 in about a year. A takeout week followed by an ambitious cooking weekend still builds the count.
