What is Mizen?

Mizen guides you calmly through any recipe from start to finish. Paste in a link and it gives you a clean, streamlined cooking experience: ingredients organized with timing notes, step-by-step instructions with hands-free timers and helpful tips right when you need them, and support for finishing and sharing. Everything you need—ingredients, instructions, timers, and tips—lives in one streamlined view that adapts to your dietary needs, serving size, and what you have in your kitchen.

Built with Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui components, Supabase for auth and database, Groq SDK for LLM recipe extraction, and Zod for validation.

The Vision

Mizen transforms any recipe into a clear workflow, cutting through ad-heavy blogs to make cooking calm and intentional. Import recipes from URLs and get a single streamlined view that organizes ingredients, steps, timers, and tips, adapting to your ingredients, dietary needs, and serving sizes.

I built this end-to-end to show what's possible when designers use AI tools to ship real products. The workflow combines Cursor/Claude for implementation, learning from engineers how to set basic systems, and testing with home cooks, learning what's most important to their home cooking.

We were tired of hunting through ads and life‑story blog posts when all we needed was the recipe. Cooking should feel calm and clear, not frantic. We’re building Mizen as a kitchen‑ready companion that turns any recipe into a simple framework.
