Cook by
the eye.
Learn the colours, textures, sounds and small signs that tell you when food is ready.
AI imagines. The audience chooses. Our kitchen tests.
From idea to table
Ideas earn the right
to become recipes.
Recipes by the Eye is an AI-assisted Mediterranean test kitchen—not an AI recipe factory.
You choose
Saves, votes, questions and requests show us which ideas deserve a real test.
Our kitchen tests
We cook selected dishes in our UK kitchen and record what sight, touch and taste teach us.
Tested by the Eye
Real food. Honest corrections.
The proof is in
the kitchen.
Untested dishes remain kitchen ideas. Only after we cook them, correct them and note the sensory cues do they enter the verified recipe archive.

Recipes by the Eye philosophy
What to notice
The cues no scale
can teach.
Sight
Watch for broken edges to deepen from gold to amber.
Sound
Listen for a fierce sizzle to soften as moisture cooks away.
Touch
Feel when dough stops clinging but still yields under your palm.
Taste
Taste before adding more; your ingredients are never identical.
Giagia's wisdom
Before recipes lived in apps,
they lived in hands.
Giagia is not a fabricated person. She is a collective figure: the shared memory of grandmothers who learned through repetition, attention and care.
Recipes by the Eye brings that wisdom into a modern UK kitchen—rooted in Greek memory and open to the wider Mediterranean table.
