## What is ChefCam?

Use what you’ve got. 
ChefCam turns everyday ingredients into meal ideas.

ChefCam is your smart kitchen companion that helps you make the most of what you have. Just point your camera at real, whole ingredients - no barcodes, no need to snap a photo - and ChefCam detects them live, as you scan.
Once scanned, the app suggests recipes you can cook using the ingredients it finds. Whether you're trying to reduce food waste, plan dinner quickly, or just need a little inspiration, ChefCam is here to help.
If something’s missed, no problem -  you can manually add ingredients anytime. You’ll also get a chance to review your ingredient list before generating recipes, so everything’s just right.

FEATURES:
Real-time ingredient scanning - just point, no photo-taking required
On-device intelligence - your data stays private
Recognises 12 common ingredients (with more coming soon)
Manual entry fallback for anything not detected
Review and edit your ingredient list before getting recipes
Instant recipe ideas based on what you already have
Helps reduce food waste

ChefCam is just getting started - we’re improving speed and expanding ingredient recognition regularly. Your feedback truly helps shape what comes next.
Have ideas or feedback? We’d love to hear from you.
