The story behind the app
About My Recipe Assistant
A personal cooking companion built around the way you actually cook.
My Recipe Assistant is designed to help you do more with your recipes, ingredients, and everyday cooking. Add recipes your way, search your collection naturally, discover what you can make from ingredients you have, get optional cooking help from ChatGPT, and keep everything organized in one place.
Rather than simply storing recipes, My Recipe Assistant helps you use them.
Build Your Recipe Collection
Add recipes in the way that suits the source. Create Manually, Import from Link, or Paste Recipe Text all prepare a recipe for your review before saving.
You can also import existing Paprika recipes. Paprika is one supported import source, not a requirement for using My Recipe Assistant.
Find What You Want to Cook
Use Smart Search, Categories, Favorites, Pinned Recipes, Latest Additions, recent searches, and ingredient discovery to find the right recipe from your own collection.
Cook With What You Have
Cook With What I Have lets you enter ingredients whenever you want to explore ideas, without maintaining Inventory.
Cook From My Kitchen uses My Kitchen to find stronger recipe matches and help you use foods already available or needing attention. Inventory is optional.
From Recipe to Kitchen
Cook Mode, Shopping List, My Inventory, Prepared Foods, and leftovers are optional tools that connect choosing a recipe with the actual work of cooking.
Ask ChatGPT About Cooking
ChatGPT is optional assistance for the moments when you want extra cooking help.
Ask about ingredient substitutions, cooking techniques, recipe modifications, flavor suggestions, or questions that come up while you cook. My Recipe Assistant's core recipe, discovery, and cooking features work without it.
You decide what information you want to share with ChatGPT and when you want to share it.
