How it works

Three steps. Real recipes. No ads.

01
Add your ingredients
Type what you've got — half onion, old cilantro, 2 eggs. Quick chips help you go fast. Vague is fine.
02
Set your preferences
Vegetarian? Allergic to nuts? Got 20 minutes, not 90? One toggle each, saved for next time.
03
Pick your AI
Drop in a key from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Stays in your browser. Pennies per recipe.
Bring your own key

Three AIs to choose from.

We don't run an AI for you. You bring your own key from any of the big three and pay providers directly — usually a few cents per recipe. Your ingredients never touch our servers.

FAQ

The honest questions.

Wait — why do I need my own AI key?
+
Two reasons. One, it keeps Chef AI free for everyone. Two, it means your ingredients go straight from your browser to your AI provider — we never see them. Setup takes about 2 minutes and you pay providers directly, usually a few cents per recipe.
Which AI is best for recipes?
+
Honestly, all three are great for recipes. ChatGPT-4o mini and Claude Haiku are the cheapest. Gemini Flash is the fastest. Try a few — that's the point of switching.
What if I don't know what to enter?
+
Just type whatever you see when you open the fridge. "Half onion," "some cilantro," "two eggs maybe." Chef AI handles vague. It even handles slightly questionable.
Can I save recipes I like?
+
Yes — saved recipes live in your account. Export them any time as JSON so you always have a backup.

Dinner is 20 minutes away.

Stop scrolling for ideas. Start with what you have. The fridge isn't going to figure itself out.
