The "What's in Your Fridge?" Chef Released

Meet Fridge Chef: The "What's in Your Fridge?" AI

Tired of staring into a full fridge but feeling like you have "nothing to eat"? End the daily meal-planning stress and stop letting good food go to waste!

Fridge Chef is a smart, privacy-focused AI tool that acts as your personal chef. You tell it what ingredients you have, and it instantly generates a delicious 3-day dinner plan, a minimal shopping list for only the items you're missing, and simple recipes to bring it all to life.

It's designed to help you:

• ✅ Reduce Food Waste: Create meals centered around what you already own.
• ✅ Save Money: Stop buying duplicate ingredients and get a laser-focused shopping list.
• ✅ Discover New Recipes: Break out of your cooking rut with AI-powered creativity tailored to your tastes.

How It Works in 3 Simple Steps

1. Tell the Chef What You Have: In the main input box, list all the relevant food items you have on hand.

   Pro Tip: The more specific you are, the better your plan will be! Instead of just "chicken," write "2 chicken breasts." Instead of "cheese," write "block of cheddar, half a bag of feta."

2. Set Your Preferences (Optional): Guide the AI by adding any dietary needs (e.g., Vegetarian, Gluten-free), cuisine preferences (e.g., Mediterranean, Mexican), or time constraints (Under 30 minutes).
3. Get Your Plan! In seconds, the AI chef delivers your complete plan, automatically saved to your history for later viewing.

Key Features
