COOK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
• Photo recognition: snap your fridge or cutting board, or pick a photo from your library
• Manual entry: type several ingredients at once, or tap common ones to add them
• Confirm before cooking: tap to rename, tap × to remove, and add anything that was missed
• No ingredients recognized in a photo? Switch straight to typing instead of retaking it
ONLY THE INGREDIENTS YOU HAVE
• Dishes use only your list plus pantry basics such as salt, sugar, soy sauce, scallion, ginger and garlic, so there's no extra shopping trip
• Each dish shows how many pans and steps it takes, and whether it's a one-pot meal
• "Add one more": a tip for one extra ingredient that would take the dish up a level
• Not in the mood? Get a fresh batch of ideas
STEPS YOU CAN ACTUALLY FOLLOW
• Step-by-step instructions with amounts (grams, spoons, pieces), heat and timing
• Portions scaled to the number of people you're cooking for
GETS TO KNOW YOUR TASTE
• Set your spice level, dietary restrictions or allergies, and servings once
• Restricted ingredients are checked twice, when dishes are created and again in the results, and you're warned before generating if your list contains one (please double-check ingredients if you have a severe allergy)
• Rate a dish Tasty, OK or Flopped after cooking and suggestions drift toward your taste; this taste memory is saved on your phone and can be cleared anytime
RECIPE LIBRARY & FAVORITES
• Classic home-style recipes built in, browsable by category, even offline
• Save the dishes you love and come back to them anytime
FREE TRIAL & LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP
