Major Arcana Meals

About

Deal three cards. Cook what they say. Major Arcana Meals turns "what should I make tonight?" into the best part of dinner. Each of the 22 major arcana is bound to one ingredient — The Magician is garlic, The Hierophant is sage, The Chariot is onion. Deal a three-card spread and the app finds real recipes that use all three ingredients at once. • 1,604 real recipes, every one with full ingredients and step-by-step instructions — readable entirely in the app, entirely offline • Every recipe names and links its original source — BBC Good Food, NYT Cooking, Epicurious, Serious Eats, Food & Wine, and dozens more • Each card explains why it owns its ingredient, and shows you the ingredient itself • No exact match for your three cards? The app offers looser dish ideas built around them instead • List your allergies in Settings: matching dishes never appear, and a card whose ingredient you're allergic to leaves the deck (dealt cards are struck through and redrawn) • Few exact matches for tonight's three? "One swap away" surfaces real recipes that hold two of them, with an on-device Apple Intelligence tip on how to work in the third • Pick tonight's dish and save it to your Journal; share it and the three cards travel with the recipe • One tap sends a dish to your shopping list in More Garlic, our companion grocery app Browse the whole cookbook in the Recipes library: search by name or ingredient line, or filter by the 22 card ingredients — sage AND garlic shows only dishes that carry both. The deck still reads. After you deal, the Readings tab interprets tonight's three cards through the esoteric tradition — upright, no reversals, written on your device by Apple Intelligence with a graceful offline fallback. Scan a physical spread with the camera to read it through five interpretive traditions, and your private Journal remembers each night's cards, their meaning, and the dish you picked. • The classic 1909 illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith (public domain) • No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone. • Recipe instructions are written in our own words; every recipe credits and links its source. Dinner, dealt. For entertainment and inspiration. Major Arcana Meals does not predict the future, and neither its readings nor its recipes are a substitute for professional dietary, medical, legal, financial, or mental-health advice. The allergy filter is a convenience feature — always check a recipe's ingredients yourself.
