AI Recipe Generator

Either describe what you want to cook ("healthy chicken stir-fry") or list ingredients you have ("chicken, rice, broccoli, soy sauce — what can I make?"), pick a meal-type chip (Any, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Dessert, Smoothie, Meal-prep), check diet boxes (Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Keto, Low calorie, High protein, Paleo) and allergens to avoid, set max prep time (15/30/60 min or no limit) and servings (1-8), and the AI generates a full recipe — name, ingredients with exact quantities, numbered steps, nutrition per serving, and substitution tips.

Yes. Each recipe costs ~300 tokens from your daily pool (2,500 guest, 10,000 signed-up). No watermark, no subscription, no signup required. SuperCook, Yummly, and Allrecipes are free + ad-supported with sign-up; Free.ai is faster and AI-original.

Yes — list what you have ("eggs, spinach, feta, tortillas") and ask "what can I make for breakfast?" The AI proposes a recipe using those ingredients plus 1-2 common pantry staples, suggesting substitutes for anything you might be missing. Great for reducing food waste and skipping a grocery run.

Yes — check all relevant allergens (tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, soy, shellfish, sesame) and the AI excludes them entirely + suggests substitutes. For severe allergies always read every ingredient label — AI cannot account for cross-contamination in packaged foods or shared kitchen equipment.

The AI estimates calories + macros per serving based on typical ingredient values. Real-world numbers vary 10-20% by brand, fat content of meat, and portion size. For exact tracking (medical or athletic), enter the recipe into MyFitnessPal or Cronometer with brand-specific ingredients after cooking.

Yes — pick 6 or 8 servings and the AI scales ingredient quantities accordingly. Some non-linear adjustments (baking time, salt, leavening) get noted in the Tips section since they do not scale 1:1. For 12+ servings, run AI Recipe Generator twice or scale further manually with the AI's help.

SuperCook matches your pantry to existing recipes in a database. Yummly and Allrecipes search pre-written community recipes. Free.ai generates an original recipe from your exact constraints — best when your pantry is unusual, you want a specific calorie/macro target, or you need an allergen-free version of a classic. Pair both: discover with Allrecipes, customize with Free.ai.

Yes — pick Meal-prep batch + 6 or 8 servings + 60+ min time. The AI generates a recipe optimized for batch cooking (one-pot, sheet-pan, slow-cooker), notes which components stay fresh longest, and suggests reheating tips. Pair with /health/diet/ to plan a full week of prep.

Yes — check Vegan + Keto and the AI focuses on tofu, tempeh, seitan, low-carb vegetables, avocado, MCT oil, hemp seeds. Vegan keto is harder to balance than either alone — for nutritional adequacy long-term, consult a Registered Dietitian familiar with both lifestyles.

Yes — describe the cuisine you want ("Korean banchan", "Lebanese mezze", "Sichuan home-cooking", "Bengali sweets") and the AI generates an authentic recipe with culture-appropriate ingredients and techniques. Some specialty ingredients may need an Asian / Indian / Latin grocery — substitution tips are included for common-grocery alternatives.

Yes — every recipe includes a Tips + Substitutions section with common swaps (Greek yogurt → sour cream, butter → coconut oil for vegan, regular flour → almond flour for gluten-free). Always sanity-check the substitution affects the final texture or flavor as expected.

Yes — POST to /v1/chat/ with the recipe-generation system prompt, billed at ~300 tokens per recipe. Useful for grocery-app integrations and meal-kit services. Bearer auth via /developer/, full snippets at /api/.
