What problem does it solve?
Helps users quickly convert a set of available ingredients and dietary constraints into a ready-to-use recipe with clear instructions, scaled ingredient quantities, substitutions, and basic nutrition estimates, removing guesswork and manual calculations from meal preparation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Interactive HTML recipe card with a full-width hero image, metadata bar (prep, cook, total time, difficulty), serving-size adjuster that recalculates ingredient quantities in real time, checkable ingredients list, step-by-step instructions, and a nutrition facts panel that updates per serving.
- "What can I make?" logic that buckets pantry items into protein/starch/veg/aromatic/fat, matches a cooking formula (stir-fry, braise, grain bowl, etc.), assigns a flavor direction, ranks suggestions by fewest missing ingredients, and offers conversions and substitutions with practical conversion notes.
- Nutrition estimation using USDA FoodData Central for per-ingredient nutritional data, plus gram conversion guidance and calorie math for quick estimates; includes baking and cooking ratio tables and allergy flags for common allergens.
- Use cases: generate a recipe from a fridge scrape, scale recipes for meal prep, provide allergy- or diet-specific substitutions (vegan, gluten-free, keto), and create visually polished recipe cards for sharing or printing.
Quick Start
Ask the recipe-creator to suggest a dinner for 4 using chicken, rice, and broccoli and return an interactive recipe card with scaled ingredients, substitutions, and nutrition per serving.
