AI Fridge Chef
Turn your ingredients into delicious meals using AI!
AI Fridge Chef leverages the cutting-edge Google Gemini AI model to intelligently transform your available ingredients into delicious and practical meal ideas. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
1. You Provide the Ingredients
Simply list the ingredients you have in your fridge or pantry in the input form. Be as specific or general as you like (e.g., "chicken thighs," "mixed vegetables," "canned tomatoes"). Also, specify the number of servings and your preferred language.
Example Input: "Ground beef, onion, bell pepper, kidney beans, canned diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin" for 4 servings in English.
2. AI Analyzes & Understands
The Gemini AI model processes your list, understanding the relationships between ingredients, potential cuisines, and common cooking techniques. It considers:
- Flavor Profiles: How ingredients complement each other.
- Ingredient Viability: Whether the combination can realistically form a meal.
- Potential Dishes: Identifying suitable recipe types (stir-fry, soup, casserole, etc.).
The AI recognizes the ingredients point towards a chili or similar dish.
3. Recipe Generation & Refinement
Based on its analysis, the AI generates a tailored recipe. This includes:
- A clear Recipe Name.
- An Adjusted Ingredient List with quantities suitable for your specified servings.
- Step-by-step Instructions in your chosen language.
- (Often) Helpful Cooking Tips, variations, or substitution ideas.
- (Sometimes) Estimated Nutritional Information.
Result: A "Classic Beef Chili" recipe for 4, detailing steps like browning the beef, sautéing vegetables, adding spices and beans, and simmering. It might also suggest toppings like cheese or sour cream as a tip.
Ingredient Tips & Substitutions
Our AI aims to use what you have, but cooking is flexible! Here are some general substitution ideas:
- Proteins: Ground turkey or lentils can often replace ground beef. Tofu or chickpeas can substitute chicken in many dishes.
- Vegetables: Swap onions for shallots or leeks. Use different types of bell peppers interchangeably. Zucchini can often replace eggplant.
- Liquids: Broth can often substitute water for more flavor. Lemon juice can replace vinegar for acidity.
- Pantry Staples: If a recipe calls for a specific spice you lack, try a related one (e.g., oregano for marjoram) or a general blend like Italian seasoning.
Always consider the flavor profile impact when substituting.
The result is a personalized, practical recipe designed to help you cook delicious meals and reduce food waste!

"As someone who isn't a confident cook, this app is fantastic. I entered 'ground beef, potatoes, carrots' and got easy-to-follow instructions for a Shepherd's Pie. Super helpful!"
