One place for the recipes, ingredients, and plans that make a meal.
Keep the good recipes.
Make them your own.
Bring in recipes from websites, recipes written in TikTok and Instagram captions or YouTube descriptions, cookbook photos, PDFs, or pasted text. Or tell Chef, GridChef’s AI cooking assistant, what you feel like, and build a recipe together.
- Describe a dish, a craving, or what’s in your fridge, by typing or speaking
- Import from links, social captions and descriptions, photos, cookbook pages, PDFs, and pasted text
- Every new recipe comes with a photo of the dish, a photo for each step, and a nutrition estimate
- Change it with Modify recipe: dairy-free, spicier, quicker, or your own idea
- Missing an ingredient? Get a substitute with amounts, or a similar recipe without it
A clear view.
A calmer kitchen.
See how your ingredients become a meal in the Recipe Grid, or follow a step-by-step list with a photo for every step. Choose the view that makes sense to you each time you cook.
- Recipe Grid: ingredients flow into the steps that use them, all the way to the finished dish
- Step by step: one clear instruction at a time, with the ingredients to add now
- A photo for every step, so you know what each stage should look like
- Tools you’ll need and before-you-start steps, listed before you begin
- Hands-free: say “next”, “repeat”, or “how much flour”, and hear each step read aloud
- Check things off as you go, and start a timer from the step you’re on
Make as much
as you need.
Recipes count in the food’s own units, like 8 slices, 4 bowls, or 12 cookies. Change the amount and every ingredient follows, in US or metric measures, with nutrition to match.
- Scale by the slice, bowl, cookie, glass, or portion, and set how much one weighs
- Whole items stay whole: 7/8 of a large egg becomes 1 medium egg, and garlic cloves stay whole
- Spoon amounts match real measuring spoons, never 0.4 of a teaspoon
- US or metric: flour in grams, milk in millilitres, and a teaspoon of salt in grams
- Estimated calories, protein, carbs, and fat for the whole batch or one portion
- Preview the whole recipe on one page before you start

Everything GridChef does.
A closer look, from the first idea to the last bite.
Create
Start from an idea, or bring the recipes you already love.
- Chef, your AI cooking assistantDescribe what you want by typing or speaking, pick from Chef’s ideas, and build the full recipe.
- Import from anywhereWeb links, recipes written in TikTok and Instagram captions or YouTube descriptions, photos, cookbook pages, PDFs, and pasted text become Recipe Grids.
- Gaps filled inIf a scanned page is cut off, Chef adds what is clearly missing and keeps everything else as written.
- Photos and nutrition, automaticallyEvery new recipe gets a photo of the finished dish, a photo for each step, and a nutrition estimate.
- Modify recipeAsk for a change, like dairy-free or less spicy, and get an adapted recipe to keep.
- Replace an ingredientSay what you’d rather use and get replacements with amounts, or a similar recipe when too much would change.
Cook
Two clear ways to follow a recipe, and your place carries between them.
- The Recipe GridIngredients sit on the left and flow into the steps that use them, so you can see what happens in parallel.
- Step-by-step listOne instruction at a time, with the ingredients to add and a photo of how it should look.
- Hands-free cookingSay “next”, “back”, “repeat”, or “how much flour”, and hear each step read aloud in the voice you choose.
- TimersStart a timer from the recipe, or ask for one by voice.
- Tools you’ll needThe pans, bowls, gadgets, foil, and parchment paper the recipe uses, listed up front.
- Check as you goTick off ingredients and steps, and pick up where you left off.
Amounts
The right quantity, in the units you use.
- Natural yieldsRecipes count in slices, bowls, cookies, glasses, or portions, the way you would say it.
- Smart scalingEvery ingredient follows the amount. Eggs change size instead of splitting, cloves stay whole, and spoons match real measuring spoons.
- US or metricCups become grams or millilitres, spoons of dry ingredients show grams, and the oven switches between °F and °C.
- Weight per pieceSet how much one slice or cookie weighs, and the batch total follows.
- Nutrition estimatesCalories, protein, carbs, and fat for the whole batch or one portion, updated as you change the amount.
- Preview recipeThe whole recipe on one page, at the amount you chose, before you start.

A few things you might be wondering.
A clearer way to cook, from the first idea to the last step.
Can I bring my own recipes?
Yes. Import recipes from links, recipes written in TikTok and Instagram captions or YouTube descriptions, pasted text, photos, or PDFs, then save them in your own collection. Private or inaccessible webpages may need pasted text or photos instead.
Can I cook with what is in my pantry?
Yes. Add items to My Pantry by hand or from a photo, then select ingredients to take into Build Recipe. Chef offers ideas, and you can keep chatting, choose a suggestion, or ask for something different.
Do I have to use the Recipe Grid?
No. Start cooking lets you choose between Recipe Grid and a step-by-step list. You can use whichever view feels clearer for the recipe you are making.
Can I change how much a recipe makes?
Yes. Change the amount in the recipe’s own units, like slices or bowls, and every ingredient follows. Whole items stay whole: eggs change size instead of turning into fractions, and spoon amounts match real measuring spoons.
Does GridChef work in metric?
Yes. Choose US or metric in Settings. In metric, cups become grams or millilitres, teaspoons and tablespoons of dry ingredients show grams, and oven temperatures show in °C.
Can I cook without touching my phone?
Yes. Turn on Hands-free and say “next”, “back”, “repeat”, or “how much flour”. GridChef reads each step aloud, and you can start a timer by voice.
Which languages can I use?
GridChef is available in 16 languages, and it can translate a recipe into the language you read.
Does Chef need an internet connection?
Creating and adapting recipes with AI needs an internet connection. Your saved recipe collection is stored on your device, with backup and export options in the app.
