A recipe in Dietrack generated from the user's available ingredients, showing cook time, calories, and a step-by-step view.

The problem

Most AI recipe generators give you the recipe — and a 30-item shopping list.

  • “Just type your ingredients”

    Then you have to type your ingredients. Every time. With quantities. The novelty wears off by Tuesday.

  • A recipe that needs eight things you don't have

    The AI doesn't know what's in the cupboard. So the suggestion ends up at the supermarket.

  • A recipe that takes ninety minutes

    “AI generated” is rarely “AI knows it's a Tuesday”.

  • The same five ideas over and over

    Without context, the same prompts return the same five recipes.

  • A recipe with one weird allergen

    A nut, a shellfish, a dairy thing — the AI didn't know to avoid it.

The promise

A recipe generator that respects your kitchen, your time, and your goal.

Dietrack is an AI recipe generator from ingredients you already have. Snap your fridge or pantry once and the generator works from your real inventory — so the suggestions don't ask you to buy four extra things. Set a time budget, a calorie target, or a “no nuts” rule, and the AI sticks to it. Get one good recipe in seconds, not five generic ones in five tabs.

How it works

Four steps. One recipe. No tabs.

Snap

Snap or list what you have

Or just open the camera at the fridge.

Constrain

Set the constraints

“20 minutes, no oven, low carb.” Or leave it open.

Generate

Get a recipe you can actually cook

One good idea. Steps, time, calories, macros. Not five tabs of “or you could also try…”.

Swap

Cook it (or swap it)

Don't fancy it? One tap for an alternate that uses the same ingredients.

The generator

Generation that respects what you have.

  • Recipes from real ingredients

    The generator reads your pantry first. Suggestions don't quietly require eight extra things. Pair it with the meal planner from ingredients.

  • Time + tool constraints

    “20 minutes, one pan.” The recipe stays in scope.

  • Allergen + diet rules respected

    Nuts off. Dairy off. Gluten off. Vegetarian on. Set once.

  • Expiry-first ranking

    Recipes using about-to-turn ingredients come first. Powered by your pantry inventory.

  • One-tap swaps

    Don't fancy it? Get an alternate using the same ingredients.

and one more thing

Recipes that come with the numbers.

The tracker

Recipe → tracked meal, automatically.

  • Calorie estimates per recipe

    Estimated, not exact, but good enough to coach by. Logs to the calorie tracker.

  • Macro estimates per recipe

    Protein, carbs, fat — by serving.

  • Cook → log automatically

    Mark the recipe cooked; it lands in your day.

  • Save it for later

    Liked it? It joins your “yours” tab.

  • Share without the blog post

    A clean shareable card — no scroll past the “I grew up in Tuscany” preamble.

One good idea, in seconds.

In plain English

An AI recipe generator that doesn't hallucinate ingredients.

An AI recipe generator from ingredients takes a list of what you have and writes you a recipe — usually in seconds. The trick is that "what you have" is the part most generators get wrong. They assume you'll type it. So you don't.

Dietrack reads your kitchen instead. Snap a receipt or a fridge shelf and the pantry inventory updates itself. The generator pulls from there, so the recipe is always in-scope. The same engine writes the AI meal planner — one recipe at a time vs. a full week.

If you've ever asked a chatbot "what can I make with chicken and rice" and gotten a 30-step recipe with sun-dried tomatoes you don't own, this is the version that doesn't do that. Recipes that use up what would otherwise end up in the bin. Free to download on iOS and Android — see the FAQ for accuracy notes.
