Gobsmacked turns cluttered, blog-style recipes into a simple card layout that is quick to scan, easy to follow at a glance, and built for quick reference.
Cook with a bird's eye view.
Overview
Gobsmacked provides a high-level snapshot of your recipe, highlighting the essential ingredients and core actions to help you quickly grasp what's involved.
Timing
Key times are included to help you plan your cooking schedule, so you can manage prep and cooking phases efficiently without feeling rushed.
Flow
Ingredients and main steps are visually grouped to reveal how the dish progresses from start to finish, giving you a clear sense of the overall cooking sequence.
How to read arecipe card.
Recipes formatted by Gobsmacked are built to help you cook, not
learn. They're here for quick glances in the middle of cooking, and
as such they intentionally lack detailed instructions.
Be sure to read through the original recipe first so you're familiar
with all the steps.

Top To Bottom
Start at the top of the recipe and work your way down. Ingredients are listed in the order they're used, with each one aligned to the instruction box that uses it.
Skillet Cacio e Pepe Tortellini With Wilted Greens - 2
Inside Out
Do everything in the instruction boxes before moving to the outer one. Boil the potatoes, then drain them — then move on to mashing.
Sheperd's Pie - 3
Left To Right
Some steps (like the ones highlighted below) just tell you what to do with ingredients you already added. Follow those from left to right across the row, still completing the inner boxes before moving to the outer ones.

Components
When a recipe includes things like sauces or toppings made separately, Gobsmacked shows them as their own mini-recipe sections, called components. They should be prepared in the order listed on their own, but use your own judgement! In the example below, the Ranch Sauce could completed while the tacos are baking, or even made ahead of time.
