StarterChef
For cooking beginners

Your start to great cooking.

StarterChef sees what's in your kitchen, suggests meals you can actually make, and talks you through every step, no experience needed.

How it works

Scan your kitchen

Point your camera at the fridge or pantry. StarterChef recognises ingredients and equipment, and always lets you correct the list before anything is saved.

Fridge · shelf view

Recipes that fit your kitchen

Every suggestion is ranked by what you have, your equipment, dietary needs, skill level, and how much time you have. Open a card to see exactly why it was picked.

Import any recipe

Paste a link, a photo of a recipe card, plain text, or a YouTube video. StarterChef extracts it into a structured recipe you review before it joins your book.

Cook step by step

Move through one step at a time with big tap targets and built-in timers. Tap the mascot to ask a question by voice, or show your pan for a photo checkpoint.

Look back on every cook

Each finished session gets a StarterChef recap with what you asked, the photo checkpoints, and what to try next time. Cross-session memory is part of Plus.

Simple pricing

AI features like scanning, suggestions, voice, and adaptations run on credits. Everything else is free, always.
