Practical workflow
Photograph your fridge and get realistic dinner ideas
Show AI what you actually have, add your constraints, and ask for meals that do not pretend you own a fully stocked test kitchen.

What this helps you do
Anyone standing in front of the fridge with no idea what to make.
What you need
- A photo of your fridge/pantry or a quick ingredient list
- Any dietary constraints
Do it step by step
- 1
Take a clear photo or list the ingredients you want to use.
- 2
Tell the AI how many people you are feeding and how much time you have.
- 3
List any allergies, dietary requirements, or ingredients nobody will eat.
- 4
Ask for two or three realistic options and the missing ingredients, if any.
- 5
Choose one and ask for the shortest practical cooking plan.
Use this in your AI assistant
Starter instructions
Copy the starter below, then paste it into ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, or whichever capable AI assistant you use. If this Workflow calls for photos or files, attach them in that AI assistant too — not on this page.
Based on these ingredients, give me 3 realistic dinner options for [NUMBER] people. I have [TIME] minutes. Constraints: [ALLERGIES/PREFERENCES]. Prioritize what is already here and keep any extra shopping minimal. Do not assume ingredients you cannot see or that I did not list. For each option, tell me what I would still need.
What a good result looks like
A few doable choices based on your kitchen, not an imaginary pantry.
Tips and watch-outs
- AI cannot reliably determine whether food is safe or spoiled from a photo. Use normal food-safety judgment.
- Mention appliances you want to use, such as an air fryer, grill, or slow cooker.
