Features & Usage

Yes! Logged-in users can modify any recipe using our AI customization tools. You can adjust ingredients, portions, or cooking methods to match your preferences.

How does the Instacart integration work?

Every recipe includes an "Add to Instacart" button that automatically creates a shopping list with all required ingredients.

Can I specify dietary restrictions for my recipes?

Yes! When generating recipes, you can specify dietary restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or any specific allergies. Our AI will ensure all generated recipes comply with your dietary needs while maintaining taste and nutrition.

Are the photos real?

No, they are approximate AI creations of what the final dish will look like based on the ingredients and preparation instructions. AI photo creation is more art than science today, but if you see something a little too weird, let us know and we will try again.

How do I share my recipes with others?

All users can share their recipes through unique links or export them as PDFs. You can also share your entire cookbook with family and friends, and they can easily import recipes to their own accounts.

What if I don't have all the ingredients for a recipe?

Simply click the "Modify Recipe with AI" button on the recipe page, and our AI will help you adjust the recipe based on the ingredients you have available. You can also use Instacart integration to easily order any missing ingredients. AI recipe generation works best when you give it logical and common sense directions, if you put together ingredients that generally dont go together, you will get bad recipes. They may be edible, but we are not sure you would want to eat them. This is not "Chopped"!
