79 kilograms per person, every year. That is how much food the average household throws away worldwide. DinnerSolved is an app for cutting that down without trying. No extra effort, no special mindset. Just decide dinner the way you already do, and food waste quietly goes down. — Dinner still isn't decided. You want to cook with what you already have. You'd rather use ingredients that are close to expiring first. But when you open recipe sites, they keep showing meals that need something you don't have. DinnerSolved is for that moment. It helps you find meals that fit what is already in your fridge, freezer, and pantry. Instead of scrolling through recipes you can't make, you get ideas based on the ingredients you actually have at home. And it doesn't stop at choosing dinner. Use ingredients before they go to waste. Update what you used after cooking. Add used-up items to your shopping list so you know what to restock next. DinnerSolved connects the whole flow of everyday cooking, from what's in your fridge to what's on your next grocery run. — The daily flow looks like this. Add the ingredients you have. Get meal ideas you can actually cook today. Update what you used after the meal. Check your shopping list for what's gone. Restock, and it goes back into your pantry. You don't just stop at "what to make." The app keeps the rest of the loop going on its own. Before you notice it, less food is being thrown out. — What you can do with DinnerSolved · Get meal ideas from the ingredients you already have · Choose specific ingredients you want to use · Exclude ingredients you do not want · Prioritize ingredients that are close to expiring · Adjust ideas by household size · Check nutrition information before choosing · Follow step-by-step cooking guidance · Update ingredient amounts after cooking · Add used-up items to your shopping list · Move purchased items back into your pantry · Look back at past meal ideas Who it is for · You often do not know what to make for dinner · You want to cook with what is already at home · You want to use up ingredients before they expire · You are tired of recipes that always require one more item · You want shopping and pantry tracking to work together · You want to cut food waste without making it a project — Cooking is not the hard part — deciding is.
