How it works
Three steps. Then never this argument again.
1
Stock your kitchen
Scan a barcode or type it in. Every item knows whether it's in the cupboard, the
fridge or the freezer, and roughly how much is left.
2
We go looking
We search real recipes from real cooks for the things you actually have, then rank
them by how little you're missing.
3
Cook it, we count it
Tap "cooked" and your stock goes down on its own. Tomorrow's suggestions already know
what you used tonight.
The 6pm problem
Nine pictures. One argument.
Every family has this evening. Ours is the one where somebody
eventually says "shall we just order in" and the takeaway app comes out.
It's 5:47pm
"What do you fancy tonight?"
"Dunno."
"Not pasta. We had pasta."
"I'm not fussed, honestly."
The freezer's full. That's not the problem.
Takeaway: £38.50
So ask the kitchen: chicken & pea pilaf. 35 mins. Nothing to buy.
"This is alright, actually."

Have a go
Ask it yourself.
A rough version of what the app does. The real thing knows quantities,
use-by dates and who won't eat what, but it works the same way.

Tap ingredients to see what comes back.
Not another recipe app
Recipe apps start with the recipe. We start with your shelves.
✓No shopping trip required. Suggestions you can cook tonight, not a list of things to buy first.
✓One shop away. If a good dinner needs one thing you haven't got, we'll tell you, and only that one thing.
✓The freezer finally gets used. Things you'd forgotten about get their moment.
✓Nobody has to agree. Allergies and dislikes are already in there, so what comes back is something everyone will actually eat.
Waste less, spend less
The average UK family bins about £1,000 of food a year.
Most of it isn't carelessness. Nobody remembered the spinach, that's all. Ask the
Kitchen nudges the things that need using first to the top of the list, so dinner gets
sorted and the fridge gets emptier at the same time.

Questions
Things people ask
Do I have to log every single thing?
No. Rough is fine. It works on "in stock", "running low" and "out". Scan the big
things as you unpack the shopping and it fills itself in from there.
Where do the recipes come from?
Real recipes from real cooks across the web, with a British bias so you're not
converting cups halfway through. We always link back to whoever wrote it.
What if we genuinely have nothing in?
Then you'll get the "one shop away" list: good dinners that need a single item, so
it's a corner-shop trip rather than a full shop.
