Brycen runs his own cookbook on the internet — every recipe hand-picked, the AI features built around how he actually cooks, and a fox named Kit reading the directions out loud when he needs both hands free.
01 · The library
174 recipesHand-curated across breakfast, dinner, snacks, drinks, weirdbutgood, and 5 more lanes.

125+ indexedEvery recipe gets a real page. Google indexes them. They show up in search.
04 · The accessibility
0 WAVE errorsDown from 29. The site reads cleanly for everyone — including screen readers.
Who it's for
Not a recipe app. A real cookbook on the internet, owned by Brycen, built around the way an 11-year-old actually cooks at the stove.
Decides what goes in. Cooks the food. Names the recipes. Votes the bracket in Cook-Off mode. If a recipe doesn't pass the kitchen test, it doesn't ship.
"It has to actually taste good — or it's not on the site."
Site lives at weirdbutgood.recipes. He picks every recipe, the categories, the order. I hold the keyboard while he tells me what to add next.
Reads the steps out loud when Brycen's hands are floury. Looks at a fridge photo and suggests three things he could make from it. Answers "can I swap honey for sugar?" without making fun of him for asking.
Kit doesn't pick the recipes. Brycen picks the recipes. Kit just makes the kitchen quieter.
Six things that make it Brycen's
Every one of these started as something Brycen said out loud. He'd say "can people tip me?" and I'd start typing. The list isn't decorative — it's the chat log.
Open the camera, point it at what's in the fridge, get three real recipes you could make with it. Toggle ingredients on and off if you missed one.
Tap the fox, ask the question out loud, hear the answer back. Substitutions, cook times, "is this done yet" — all of it, hands-free.
Pick two dishes, post a photo of yours, the site walks you through a 6-step head-to-head. Made for kid sleepovers.
Six time windows shuffle the homepage — breakfast at 7am, snacks at 3pm, dinner at 6, weirdbutgood after dark. Always something new on the front page.
No typing. Tap the emoji for each thing in your fridge — 🥚🧀🍞🥓 — and get a recipe back. Built for younger cousins too.
Sign in, snap a photo of your version, drop it on the recipe page. Brycen's gallery, Brycen's friends' gallery — all on the same card.
By the numbers
Everything on the site, counted up.
What a recipe looks like
Title, time, ingredients, six clean steps, a button to hear it read out loud. That's the whole page.
How the AI works
The same pipeline runs whether Brycen took the photo, typed the ingredients, or just yelled at the fox.
Fridge photo, emoji list, or a voice question to Kit.
Vision model identifies ingredients. Recipe model picks 3 candidates from Brycen's library + new generations.
Three cards, real steps, a "read it to me" button on every one.
What it doesn't do
Brycen and I are clear about what the site doesn't do yet. Easier to say up front than to surprise someone later.
Kit doesn't watch the pan. A parent does. Every recipe page says so when heat is involved.
If the fridge photo's blurry or half the food's hidden, the suggestions get fuzzy. Toggle ingredients on/off to fix it.
First time you tap the fox, the browser asks. Skip it and Ask Kit still works as text — just slower.
The library tags categories, not allergens. If you've got a nut or dairy thing going on, read the ingredients first. Always.
What ships next
Each item is scoped, queued, and waiting on the prior one to clear.
