I really like to cook, but I don’t love planning my meals. It can be time-consuming, and I normally end up falling into the old recipes that I’ve made dozens of times. That, in turn, can often mean letting ingredients I bought for last week’s meals go to waste, not to mention the fact that it makes cooking a little less exciting.
But you don’t have to let those ingredients go to waste, and with AI in your kitchen, it’s easier than ever to plan meals and generate new recipes. That’s right — AI can generate completely new recipes for you to try out.
Here are the best AI recipe generators:
Mr. Cook
The big selling point of these AI recipe generators is the ability to input ingredients you already have, which Mr. Cook does very well. On top of that, however, it also acts as a kind of recipe organization tool, allowing you to upload handwritten recipes or import recipes.
You can plan your meals, and input preferences, dietary restrictions, and more, so you can ensure that recipes perfectly fit your needs. You even have it suggest ingredient substitutions, allowing you to cook new recipes that you might not otherwise be able to, or want to, eat.
ChefGPT
ChefGPT lets you generate recipes based on ingredients in your pantry. But it won’t generate any old recipe — it lets you select difficulty levels and create meal plans rather than individual recipes. ChefGPT can integrate with your shopping list too, making the process of planning, shopping, and cooking simple and streamlined.
DishGen
Along with generating recipes with your ingredients, DishGen puts minimizing food waste front and center, and lets you filter recipes by those that are human-verified, which can help you get a better idea of which recipes might be high-quality. Even better is the fact that DishGen will help you tweak recipes on the fly, so you can ensure it fits your taste around things like spice levels.
Let’s Foodie
Let’s Foodie can generate recipes based on your ingredients, but it can also make recipe recommendations based on previous recipes you have liked, and plan your meals. It also lets you exclude specific ingredients that you can’t eat or simply don’t like.
MealPractice
Last but not least is MealPractice, which allows you to input ingredients you have. It also makes meal-planning a little more social, allowing you to follow users that might have similar tastes to you. You can select preferences around the types of protein you want to use, whether you want something healthy or not, and so on.
