## What is Gherkin?

Stop staring at the fridge. 
Gherkin tells you what you can cook with what you've got — and what's about to spoil.                                          

what's inside
                                                                                            
Pantry that pays attention
Track what you have. We'll flag what's expiring before it hits the bin.                                                             
                                                            
Tonight's Pick
The one recipe you can cook right now, picked from your actual pantry.

Use It Up                                                                                                                        
Recipes built around food about to spoil — one tap to cook, one tap to deduct.
                                                                                                                                      
Add ingredients in seconds                             
Scan a receipt, type, or speak — your pantry fills itself.

Cook with what you have
No more "what shall I make tonight" stares. Personal recipes from your pantry.                                                      
                                                                                
Plan a week                                                                                                                      
Build a meal plan from cookable matches. We'll tell you what to grab.
                                                                       
who it's for                                                                                                          
Anyone who buys food, forgets it, throws it away, then orders takeaway. Yes, all of us.
                                                                                                                                      
privacy
Your pantry stays yours. We don't sell data. Account deletion is one tap in Settings.
