Kidge.
What should I cook tonight? Kidge answers from what's already in your kitchen — snap a receipt, pick a diet mode, and follow a step-by-step guide built for people who aren't chefs.
THE PROBLEM
You have food. You just don't know what to make.
Recipe apps assume you already know what you want to cook. You don't — that's the problem. And pantry apps assume you'll log every grocery item by hand. You won't.
Kidge starts from the other end. Snap your receipt after shopping or photograph your fridge, and AI figures out what you have. Tell it how you want to eat tonight. It shows you what you can actually make — right now, with zero extra shopping.
And when you start cooking, it doesn't hand you a wall of text. It walks you through one step at a time — like a patient friend standing next to you in the kitchen.
BUILT FOR REAL KITCHENS
COOK TONIGHT
Three tiers. Zero guesswork.
Kidge doesn't show you every recipe — it shows you the ones that make sense for tonight, ranked by how ready you already are.
Cook Now
Recipes you can start immediately with what's already in your pantry. No trip to the shops.
1–2 More Ingredients
Recipes that need just one or two more items — worth grabbing if you're passing a supermarket.
Stretch Picks
Recipes outside your current stock, surfaced for when you want to plan ahead or try something new.
FEATURES
What's inside.
AI Pantry Tracking
Snap a photo of your receipt or open fridge. Gemini Flash reads every item, maps it to a canonical ingredient dictionary, and populates your pantry. You confirm in seconds — no manual logging.
6 Diet Modes
Normal, High-Protein / Low-Fat, Low-Calorie, Low-Carb, Vegetarian, Vegan. Switch from a persistent chip in the top bar — every recommendation updates instantly to match how you're eating tonight.
"Cook Tonight" Recommendations
Recipes bucketed into three tiers: what you can make right now, what you can make with one or two more ingredients, and stretch picks for when you feel adventurous. No guessing, no scrolling.
Citymapper-Style Cook Mode
One instruction per page. Screen stays awake. Built-in timers. Tap any cooking term to get a plain-English explanation. Every step has a "looks off?" button that generates recovery hints on the spot via Claude.
Beginner-Aware Defaults
Every recipe is filtered to 30 minutes or less, 8 ingredients or fewer, one pan where possible, and common supermarket ingredients only. The app assumes a small kitchen and no chef vocabulary — on purpose.
Step-by-Step Jargon Glossary
"Fold", "deglaze", "bloom" — tap any term mid-cook and get a short, jargon-free explanation without leaving the step. No more pausing to Google what something means while the pan is hot.
HOW IT WORKS
Snap. Pick. Cook.
Four steps from empty stomach to first bite. No prep work, no recipe hunting, no mid-cook Googling.
Snap your receipt or fridge
Take a photo after shopping or open the fridge and photograph it. AI reads every item and builds your pantry list in seconds.
