About
PantryChef answers one question: what can I actually cook right now, with what is already in my kitchen?
Instead of scrolling through recipes you have no ingredients for, you start by telling PantryChef what you have at home. Every recipe is then scored against your pantry. You see immediately what is ready to cook, what you are one ingredient short of, and exactly which item is missing.
HOW IT WORKS
Fill your pantry
Tap the ingredients you have from a list of nearly 200 items, organised by group. Salt, pepper, oil and water are always assumed to be there, so they never count against you.
See what you can cook
Recipes are ranked by how well they match. Ready now, one ingredient short, two short. No guesswork, no scrolling through dishes you cannot make.
Buy one thing, unlock more
PantryChef works out which single ingredient would open up the most new recipes, and offers to add it to your shopping list.
Shopping list that closes the loop
Tick an item off when you have bought it and it moves straight into your pantry. The recipe list updates itself.
Eighty recipes, written properly
Turkish, Levantine, Italian, French, Mediterranean, Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai and American dishes. Each one includes the reasoning behind the technique, not just the steps, plus one practical tip that tells you where it usually goes wrong.
AI kitchen assistant
Ask for a substitution, scale a recipe up or down, or rescue a dish that has gone wrong. Or let the assistant invent an original recipe using only what is in your pantry right now.
