## What is Grublin?

Right, what've we got?

There's a goblin in your fridge, and he hates waste — not because it's virtuous, but because it's food and he's hungry. Tell Grublin what's about to go off, and he'll turn it into a proper recipe. No meal-planning, no guilt trips, no ten browser tabs. Just dinner, sorted.

How it works:
• Tell Grub what's lurking in the fridge
• Or just snap a photo, and Super Grub works out what you've got
• Set the vibe — how fancy, how spicy, who's eating
• Get a complete recipe built around what you've actually got
• Not quite right? Tweak it, or send Grub back for a totally different idea

Super Grub
• Point the camera at the fridge, the counter, or tonight's shopping. Grub spots the ingredients, you confirm what he found, and he cooks something from it. Your photo is only used to spot ingredients, and it is never stored.

Made for real kitchens:
• Works around allergies, diets (vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher) and the stuff you just don't fancy
• Tells you the handful of staples you'll need to nab
• Saves your favourites for next time

Free to use — a few fresh recipes every day, and more whenever you want them. Go Premium to lose the ads and cook without limits.

Grublin uses AI to suggest recipes. Always check ingredients and cooking steps yourself — especially for allergies. The goblin means well, but you're the chef.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-07-24*

Saves sooooo much brain power thinking of meals. As a diabetic, I love the carb count feature but really enjoy that it is at the end so the calories aren’t right in your face. Will continue using this for a long time
