Now 7,400+ recipes from 47 countries. Bilingual search, auto meal planner, favorites & nutrition for every dish. Your smartest kitchen companion just got smarter. The five tabs Today — an editorial home screen: a daily auto-generated menu (breakfast→dessert, rerollable), the daily Taste Test, technique-of-the-day, what's in season, plus a kitchen tip and food fact. Discover — instant fuzzy search (accent-aware, ingredient/cuisine/dish), 15 mood collections ("Ready in 15", "Date Night", "Bring the Heat"), a cuisine passport, and a "what can I cook?" pantry matcher that ranks recipes by what you already have and lists what's missing. Plan — a 2-week meal planner with auto-fill, and a smart shopping list that auto-categorizes (Produce/Meat/Dairy/…) and dedupes. Learn — an Academy of 16 cooking lessons + 12 food-science deep-dives, plus a Kitchen-IQ toolkit (40 flavor pairings, 32 substitutions, cup↔gram + °F↔°C converters, doneness temps, seasonal guide). Chef — gamified progression: XP, 8 ranks, 20 badges, cooking streaks, a cooking journal, and a culinary passport tracking which of the 47 cuisines you've actually cooked. The flagship: hands-free Cook Mode Giant readable steps, a progress bar, and timers that auto-detect durations from the recipe text ("sauté for 5 minutes" → one-tap live countdown with a chime), plus serving scaling (½×–3×), keep-screen-awake, and a finish celebration with confetti, XP, and a journal entry.

Effortless Cooking with What You Already Have
Apr 22

This app makes cooking at home incredibly convenient by turning the ingredients you already have into a variety of recipe options. Instead of searching endlessly for ideas, you simply input what’s in your kitchen and get instant suggestions. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for anyone to use without a learning curve. I especially appreciate how it reduces food waste by helping you use up items you might otherwise forget about. The range of recipes is impressive, offering both simple meals and more creative dishes. Overall, it’s a practical and time-saving tool for anyone looking to cook smarter and more efficiently.
