Working on: Pantry Recipes – AI meal generation based on what’s in your kitchen
Over the past few weekends, I’ve been building Pantry Recipes – a mobile app that lets you quickly generate recipe ideas based on the ingredients you already have at home.
The idea is simple:
- Save or quickly select ingredients you have on hand
- Tap Generate Recipes and get ideas instantly
- You can also describe what you want to make free-form (e.g., "cheese omelette") and the app will generate a recipe for you.
Since you are using AI, what are the chances of your app suggesting existing recipes vs "inventing" new recipes.
Also, there can be set of ingredients that should not be mixed together or be cooked in certain way. Are these cases considered when generating recipes ?
Cool idea! I’m a big fan of AnyList so this was intriguing.
I think it could be useful to have a “recently generated” section in the Recipes tab that lets you find things you might have forgotten to save. Substitutions could also be a useful feature. For example, if I can’t find Mexican oregano, what else can I use?

The app is free for a number of recipe generations, then offers a low-cost subscription if you want unlimited use. It's live on the iOS App Store now: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pantry-recipes/id6744589753
Happy to answer any questions if anyone’s curious about the tech, UX challenges, or what I learned from launching!
