Fridge Poet: Recipe Generator

Open the fridge. Three vegetables, half an onion, some leftover chicken. Wonder what to make. Wish you could ask a chef who knows what to do with exactly that.

Fridge Poet does exactly that. Pick a chef, list 1–5 ingredients you have on hand, and get a recipe written in that chef's voice — their techniques, their flavor language, their personality. Same fridge, a different dinner depending on who you ask.

A CAST OF 19 CHEF ARCHETYPES, EACH WITH A DIFFERENT VOICE

• The Perfectionist — French haute cuisine, obsessively precise
• The Plating Artist — modern fine dining, visual stunner
• The Lightning Blade — Italian, knife-virtuoso elegance

COOK-OFF MODE
Pick two chefs. They get the same fridge. They each produce their own recipe — different techniques, different result. You read both, then crown a winner. The winning chef earns a permanent gold star that lives in your in-app rankings. Included with Fridge Poet Pro.

PICK A COURSE TYPE
Choose Main, Side, or Dessert. For a main, the chef quietly fills in any missing pillar — protein, carbs, fat, or fiber — so the dish is actually balanced. For a side, they keep it focused. For dessert, they lean sweet.

PER-SERVING NUTRITION + RECIPE SCALING
Every recipe shows estimated protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and calories per serving — computed locally from your ingredient amounts, not guessed by the LLM, so the numbers stay consistent. Tap ½× / 1× / 2× / 3× to scale amounts and nutrition for exactly how many you're feeding.

VOICE INPUT
Tap the mic and just say what's in your fridge. Your phone's speech recognition turns it into text.

INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTES
Out of gochujang? Out of fish sauce? Out of rosemary? Tap the swap icon for instant substitutions with the right ratio. Chef-suggested ingredients always come with a swap option, so you can cook even when the pantry doesn't quite match.

ENTIRELY BILINGUAL
Korean and English from day one. The app auto-detects your system language and lets you switch anytime in Settings. Recipes are generated in your chosen language — Korean reads like Korean, English reads like English. Not translated.

NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS
No sign-up. We never ask for your name, email or contacts, and the app doesn't use your GPS location. No advertising in the app. Your saved recipes are backed up under a one-way code, not your name, so reinstalling doesn't lose them. What you enter goes to an AI provider to write your recipe. We see which features are used and why the app crashes, and you can turn that off in Settings. Details: fridgepoet.app/privacy

A NOTE
Fridge Poet is an independent fan-made companion app inspired by Korean cooking variety television. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any TV network or chef. The "chef archetypes" are fictional composites and recipes are AI-generated. Verify ingredient safety, allergens, and cooking temps yourself. Nutrition is estimated, not a label.
