Description
Make a meal with what you have in your pantry and fridge.
You read that right. CookBrite serves up recipes you can make with no shopping required!
Simply take a picture of your grocery receipt. CookBrite automatically updates your HomeList with the purchases on that receipt. Like magic, the next time you request recipes, the “Have It” carousel suggests recipes using ingredients in your HomeList.
And, if you don’t mind a little shopping, let CookBrite’s Think, Shop, Receipt, Cook cycle. The app knows what you Have in your home and what you Need to purchase to cook the meals you create. Save money and reduce your household’s food waste. Good for your budget and the planet!
Here’s how it works.
Think. First, decide what you’re in the mood to eat. Healthy, Comfort, Spicy?
Next, choose the ingredients you want to use in your meal. Chicken, spinach, chocolate? We’ll suggest Mains, Sides, Appetizers, Salads and Desserts based on your chosen criteria.
A chicken dish with a side of leafy greens and chocolate dessert? We’ve got it in our recipe database, curated by our team of super-foodies.
Want a recipe using ingredients you already have in your pantry and fridge? We’ll hook you up. You read that right.
CookBrite knows what you Have in your home and what you Need to purchase to create today’s dinner plan! Not just for one recipe, but for the whole meal. Because we help you keep track of your food and non-food items. Organized simplicity in the kitchen.
After you create a meal plan, CookBrite generates a ShopList, telling you what you need to purchase for each recipe in your meal plan. Which saves you money and keeps you on budget. No more buying too much and wasting food you don’t use.
Shop. Once done shopping for tonight’s dinner (or not, if you’ve chosen recipes using ingredients you already have), take a picture of the grocery receipt on your phone.
CookBrite automatically adds those items to your HomeList, keeping a tab on what you’ve added to your pantry and fridge. So the next time you use the App to create a new meal plan, it knows what you Have and what you Need.
Cook. Time to cook! CookBrite walks you through the recipes one by one with clear instructions on how to make each of your dishes. And voilà! You’re a hero to your family and friends. Click “Cooked it” once you’ve cooked the recipes.
Repeat. Next time you go to the grocery store, scan another receipt to keep track of your household items. Then create another fabulous dinner plan for those you love.
CookBrite. Mealtime Magic™.

Good potential I really like the idea but a lot of the functionality isn't available, yet. I also wish that it would give nutritional data for the recipes and allow you to search with dietary criteria, this would make it invaluable for a dieter.
★★★★★
Good for meal planning, finding recipes, knowing what you need to make a meal Great for planning, picking meals but recommend that the shopping list goes by what meal or meals you pick instead of showing what you need for all meals. Example, if you have five weeks worth of meal plans saved the list shows what you need for all not just one week, day etc. Would be nice to see what you need just for the week or day/meal you want to make. Also I'd like to be able to switch between categories since it won't let me do that right now (comfort, italian, etc).
★★★★★
Seems like it would be a useful app but there's no way to add recipe preferences. I like to cook vegan and although I am able to find vegan recipes, being able to select if you have a special dietary need would be a nice addition.
★★☆☆☆
Not quite right It says it gives you recipes using items you already have so you dont have to stress however what it is doing is giving me recipes that have maybe one or two items i already have but most items will still need to be purchased so thus negating the fact that it should use items i already have.
★★☆☆☆
It gives good recipes I guess but it doesn't use what I have. I put that I did not have beef or fish but it have me a lot of options for those two. I think it just gives random recipe and doesn't consider what you have.
★★☆☆☆
What?? I realize I agreed to give you access to some info when I installed your app. A little creepy though when my email address was auto-entered so I could make an account. You don't need my email Addy and I don't need to make an account for something like this. I can type what's in my fridge into Google and get the same results without letting strangers into my contacts list. You people need some serious help. Seriously.
★★☆☆☆
Not what I expected.... It ask what ingredients I wanted to cook with then suggested tons of recipes that didn't include the ingredients I had. I chose shrimp but instead of shrimp recipes I got chicken, lamb, and beef recipes. Bummer....I thought it was to suggest a recipe based on what I already had but just gives me a list of things to buy.
