Start with proteins and staples you know you have—eggs, pasta, rice, onions—then add produce. Even a short pantry list surfaces useful meals.
How matching works
FridgeCook compares your selected ingredients to a curated recipe dataset. Recipes are ranked by overlap first and fewer missing ingredients second, so you can cook with what you already bought.
There is no AI API and no account. Your pantry list stays in local storage on this device.
Private by design
Ingredient selections never leave your browser. Clear the pantry anytime to wipe the saved list.
Frequently asked questions
What if nothing matches?
Add more staples or clear the category filter. Recipes need at least one overlapping ingredient to appear.
Can I cook with leftovers only?
Yes. Mark what is left and sort by fewest missing ingredients to minimize new shopping.
Are quantities included?
The dataset focuses on ingredient names for matching; use your usual portions when cooking.
Does FridgeCook send ingredients to a server?
No. Matching runs in your browser against a static recipe list.
Is FridgeCook free?
Yes. No signup and no AI API fees.
