Story map backbone
  1. Discover recipes — search, browse categories, save favorites
  2. Plan the week — drag recipes into days, see weekly view
  3. Generate grocery list — auto-aggregate, edit, mark off in-store
  4. Cook the meal — step-by-step view, timers, scale servings
  5. Slice 1 (MVP) — top row only; defer scaling and timers
