How to cook the same meal with someone in another city
Cooking together at a distance fails for one reason: a video call carries the talk but not the pot. How to share the recipe itself instead.

Sunday lasagna al forno
A proper Sunday ragu, simmered until it darkens, layered with béchamel and baked until the top sheet blisters and the edges catch on the dish.

Step 1
Warm the olive oil (2 tbsp) in a wide pan and soften the onion (1) with the garlic (3 cloves) until sweet, about 8 minutes. Turn up the heat, add the ground beef (1 lb) and brown it properly.

Capabilities
Every recipe you've ever loved, finally in one place.
Sugo turns scattered bookmarks, screenshots, scribbled cards and 12-minute YouTube videos into clean, searchable recipes. Then it helps you cook them, together if you like.

Snap a recipe. Anywhere.
Paste a link, snap grandma's index card, screenshot a TikTok, or scan a cookbook page. Sugo's parser pulls out ingredients, steps, times, and serving counts, even from what a creator says out loud in a video, and asks you when it isn't sure.
- URL, photo, screenshot, or paste: all the same
- Reads reels and TikToks: captions and spoken steps alike
- One tap to fix anything the AI got wrong

The cook who's read your whole kitchen.
Ask Sugo is the assistant behind the sparkle. It knows your saved recipes, your pantry, and your week, so 'something quick tonight' gets a real answer, not a search page.

How it works
Three steps. That's it.
No accounts, no onboarding survey, no "let's get to know you first." Open the app, save a recipe, cook it. Everything else is optional.
i.
Save anything.
Share a link, snap a card, paste a screenshot. Sugo cleans it up in seconds and files it away.
ii.
Tell it your pantry.
Add the basics once: oil, salt, the spice rack. Sugo learns the rest from your grocery list.
iii.
Cook tonight.
Open the home tab. Pick one. Hit Cook. The screen stays bright. The timers start themselves.
Pricing
