Cook with what you have

Real recipes from the ingredients you already own

Most recipe apps assume you have everything on the list. FridgeFirst flips it: tell it (or show it) what you actually have, and it generates recipes you can cook right now. No extra shop, less waste, fewer 6 PM dinner panics.

Why fridge-first changes everything

Photo, not paperwork

Open your fridge, point your phone, tap once. FridgeFirst's vision model identifies fresh produce, packaged goods, leftovers, and jars — and adds them to your pantry. You can edit or add anything it misses with a tap.

Recipes that match reality

The AI doesn't pick a recipe from a list and ask you to go shopping. It generates a recipe from your actual ingredients, biased toward the ones nearing expiry. If it does need one or two missing items, it tells you up-front so you can swap or skip.

Less waste, less guilt

The pantry tracker flags ingredients about to expire and FridgeFirst prioritises them in the next plan. The average UK household bins £730 of food a year — FridgeFirst is built to chip away at that number.

Faster than Googling

‘What can I cook with chicken, eggplant, and a tin of chickpeas' takes 12 Google results, 4 blog intros, and an unrelated YouTube ad to answer. FridgeFirst answers in 8 seconds.

Real examples from real fridges

And it still respects your family

Cook-with-what-you-have doesn't mean dropping the rules. Every recipe FridgeFirst generates still checks against:

  • Each family member's allergies (nuts, gluten, dairy, shellfish, eggs, soy, more)
  • Per-member diet (vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, low-carb, diabetic-friendly)
  • Cuisine preferences across 60+ regions
  • Kid-friendly flags so the under-10 crowd will actually eat it
