How to Cook Together from Different Kitchens with Savor

Open your existing group and select Plan a Savor. Add an optional note with the occasion or theme, then choose Pick Food & Dates. The member who creates this Savor is its host; friends can take turns hosting future nights.

Invite your friends into the group before opening voting so they are included. For someone who joins later, the host can add them to the active Savor.

Use the group's saved availability and recipe preferences as a starting point. Review the date suggestions and edit the options, checking the displayed time zone. Choose one to three recipes from the recipe picker for your friends to rank; you can use Savor recipes and your saved recipes.

Open each recipe to check its cooking time, cookware, and ingredients. Discuss dietary conflicts together and record agreed changes in the note.

Aim to confirm at least seven days before cooking so the recipe cards have time to arrive. The Savor shows a vote-by date and a mailing warning when the plan leaves less time.

When the choices are ready, the host selects Start voting and confirms the notification to the group. Participants open that Savor to rank recipes and dates with their favorite first. With multiple dates, move impossible options below the unavailable divider.

Your rankings save as you go. Choose Done voting to submit the order shown, including options you left in their original order. If you cannot attend this cooking night, choose I can’t make this Savor to stay in the group while sitting this one out.

The host selects Close voting to review the proposed winning recipe and date. The dialog also shows people who have not voted, so the host can follow up before proceeding.

Confirming closes voting and locks in the winning plan. If confirmation needs another attempt after voting closes, select Confirm Savor. Participants receive the plan through their available notification channels and can always return to the Savor page.

Shop from the chosen recipe's grocery list. Use the scaling control for the amount your household needs, check the cookware, and read the cooking steps. Watch the overview video when one is included.

Participants receive the chosen recipe card by mail. Keep the online recipe or its Print view handy if the card has not arrived. Check the Savor page for the latest plan, especially after a change.

At the confirmed time, start FaceTime or the video calling app your group usually uses. Savor holds the recipe and cooking plan; you arrange the call yourselves.

Put the call where you can see your friends and keep the recipe close to your workspace. Pause together after prep or during a simmer so everyone can catch up. Members can text Savor for a substitution or measurement conversion along the way.

The host can use Change plan on a confirmed Savor to change the date or selected recipe and explain the change. Participants are notified, and replacement cards may arrive late. The host can also cancel the Savor.

When you are ready for another dinner, choose Plan a Savor in the same group. Your people and cooking history stay together.
