How it Works

  • Quickly add the ingredients you already have - either by writing them out, taking a photo or uploading a receipt if you’ve recently been to the shops.

  • Get a list of delicious things you could cook with what you already have. Recipes include portion sizing, dietary requirements and a nutritional breakdown.

  • The average young household wastes $1,503 and 113kg of food every year. With beautiful recipes and inspiration, we hope to change that!

FAQs

  • This app helps you use ingredients before they go off, automatically sorts them by expiry, and gives you recipe ideas based on what needs to be used first. It also shows you the estimated dollar value you save by cooking food before it expires.

  • You can enter your ingredients manually and we will try to give you our best guess of when we think it will go off, too! The app then sorts everything by what’s going off first when making recipes.

  • The app uses local supermarket prices (based on your selected country + state) and the quantity of each ingredient. The “Estimated value” label shows how much money you keep by using the ingredient before it goes off.

  • Absolutely! We love the feeling of a community building a project together to help a shared mission so we’ve built a “Request a Feature” section. Each week we’ll work to add as many new features from our users as possible.
