Field notes
The Thanksgiving example is for 12 guests eating at 4 p.m., with a turkey, stuffing, rolls, sides, and a backward timeline spanning oven, stovetop, and counter prep. The site describes aisle-sorted grocery quantities that adjust with guest count, and says an added family recipe can be stored in My Dishes. These are presented as app features; the App Store release is still forthcoming.
