Capture your fridge Cook what you have

Capture & Cook detects the ingredients from your fridge and recommends recipes you can actually make right now.

Capture and Cook app in use: a user photographs fridge contents and the app lists detected ingredients and matching recipes.

A fridge full of food, nothing to cook.

It happens everyday. Capture & Cook closes the gap between what's in your kitchen and what you can actually make right now.

Before

Staring at the fridge, ordering takeout

  • Ingredients you forgot that you bought go to waste.
  • Hard to find recipes that match what you have.
  • Filtering for allergens or diets is painful.

After

A recipe that uses what you have, in seconds

  • One photo of your fridge: ingredients detected automatically.
  • Recipes ranked by how well they match what you've got.
  • Diets and allergens filtered before you even see the list.

No. You can try a single scan without signing up. Creating a free account gives you more scans, saves your recipe history, and starts your free trial.

Which platforms are supported?

Android and iOS at launch. A web version is on the way.

How do I get the best detection results?
  • Use good lighting, natural light works best.
  • Spread ingredients out so they don't overlap.
  • Keep the camera steady and close enough to fill the frame.
  • Use a plain, uncluttered surface.
  • If anything is missed, you can edit the list before generating recipes.
How accurate is the ingredient detection?

It performs well under good conditions. You can always review and edit the detected list before generating recipes, so a missed item is never a dead end.

Is my data private?

Yes. We are fully compliant with KVKK and applicable privacy laws. You can read our full privacy policy before signing up and withdraw your consent any time from the app settings.
