Chats are listed by when you started them, newest first, under the first thing you asked. You can't rename them.
Chats about a recipe, from Ask Cook Well, are in your history too, with the recipe's picture next to them.
Cook Well AI doesn't remember one chat in another. If you're starting something new, a new chat keeps the answers focused.
In a household
You share one set of chats. You'll see each other's chats in your history, and either of you can pick one up or delete it.
