## What is Kitchen Substitute?

Find practical ingredient swaps and adapt the recipes you already cook. Kitchen Substitute combines a curated substitution guide with recipe import, dietary preferences and a local recipe library.

Take a photo, import a screenshot, paste recipe text or a website link, or share a recipe from another app. Check and edit the imported ingredients and directions before saving. Website support varies; some pages need Safari sharing or pasted text.

Choose Vegan, Vegetarian or Pescatarian, then add ingredients to avoid: gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame, fish, shellfish or alcohol.

Review each replacement beside its original ingredient, including mixtures with more than one component. Ingredient groups and numbered directions keep the recipe easy to follow. Supported conversions update the actual cooking steps, including preparation and timing where needed. Ingredients or methods that need more work remain clearly marked for review.

Save recipes in folders, find them later and share their text. Keep the original ingredients, directions and website link alongside your reviewed version. Saved recipes stay as you reviewed them until you choose to edit them.

Need a quick substitute? Search 155 ingredients and 363 substitution options. See US and metric amounts for supported swaps, preparation instructions, trade-offs and limits.

Photo recognition and recipe conversion run on your device. Recipes are saved locally. Optional Apple Intelligence ingredient reading runs on supported devices when available; the core guide and editing work without it. Substitution amounts and cooking rules come from curated information.

Ingredient lookups and your saved library work offline. Links, content updates and photos stored only in iCloud need internet access. There are no accounts, subscriptions or in-app purchases, and no advertising or analytics SDKs. One purchase includes the app's features.

Review every converted recipe before cooking. Not every recipe or dietary combination can be completed automatically. Check product labels and cross-contact risks; suggestions do not certify a dish as allergy-safe.
