Match your saved recipes

When you have ingredients left to use, fridge matching checks your personal recipes and shows how well they fit your available ingredients.

Adjust the number of suggestions and minimum match threshold. Results come from saved recipes, useful when you want a familiar dish.

Personal recipe matching requires membership and is separate from online AI generation.

Set preferences for an AI recipe

Enter a dish, ingredients, servings, cuisine or cooking time. Choose to use only fridge ingredients when you want to cook from stock.

By default, AI aims for common home cooking using a suitable selection of ingredients. It does not have to put everything into one dish. You can also choose inventive combinations.

Enabled dietary preferences can inform generation. Check ingredients and allergies yourself. Inventive combinations may not have been tested in cooking.
