PantryChef: Recipe Generator
Cook with what’s in the fridge
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Recipes from what’s already in your kitchen, a shopping list you can share with your household, and now on Apple Watch: just say “add milk to the shopping list”.
What’s for dinner? PantryChef turns what’s already in your fridge and cupboards into recipe ideas, so the food you bought gets eaten instead of thrown out.
Tell PantryChef what’s in your kitchen, and your recipe tab fills up with dinners that use up what goes off soonest, dishes with your chicken or salmon, quick weeknight dinners and seasonal food, all made from what you have. No more staring into the fridge, and fewer extra trips to the store.
RECIPES FROM WHAT YOU HAVE
• Recipe ideas made with AI from your own ingredients, in rows that follow the time of day, the weekday and the season: “Use it up”, “With your chicken”, “Quick weeknight dinners”, “Friday night”, “Weekend project” and more
• Pick an ingredient you want to use, or a recipe preference (vegetarian, healthy, super-quick, air fryer only, breakfast, lunch, dessert…), and get a row of recipes for it
• “A few things to buy”: new ideas that need only one to three extra ingredients
• Search for a dish, or describe what you’re in the mood for
• Step-by-step directions, portions, “More like this” and “Find side dish”
KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR KITCHEN
• Start by ticking what you have from a list of everyday groceries, then add items in seconds
• What goes off soonest is shown first, so leftovers get used
• “Still have these?” asks about items that have been in stock about as long as they usually keep
• Tap “I cooked this” and the used-up ingredients leave your pantry
A SHOPPING LIST THAT LEARNS YOUR STORE
• “Add missing to shopping list” from any recipe
• The list learns the order you shop in: the next thing to pick up is right by your thumb
• Suggestions from things you’ve bought before, and undo for a mistaken tap
• Checked-off items go straight into your pantry
SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
• Share your pantry, shopping list and favorite recipes with up to 8 people. Changes show up on everyone’s phone right away. Sharing is free
APPLE WATCH
• Your shopping list on your wrist: tap to check items off, swipe to remove them
• Just talk: “add milk and eggs to the shopping list and I ate all the pizza” updates your list and pantry in one go
• Put PantryChef on your watch face and start speaking with one tap
HOME SCREEN WIDGET
• See which favorites you can cook right now, and an idea for today
FAVORITES AND MEAL PLANNING
• Save the recipes you like, or add your own
• Plan what to cook next in “Upcoming”
• “Fill in with AI” completes a recipe for you, and “Improve with AI” polishes any part of it
WORKS OFFLINE
PantryChef needs the internet the first time it starts. After that, your pantry, shopping list and favorites work offline too, and your recipes are kept between visits. New recipe suggestions need a connection.
SUBSCRIPTION
Your first 20 recipe requests are free. After that, a subscription is needed for new recipes.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
