Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about finding recipes with your ingredients.
How does the recipe finder work?
Select the ingredients you already have (from your fridge, freezer, or pantry) and tap "Find matching recipes." The recipe finder instantly searches our chef-tested recipes and ranks them by the strongest ingredient match, so the best recipes you can make right now show up first.
Can I get an exact match for only the ingredients I have?
Yes. Turn on the "Only these ingredients" toggle before searching and the finder will prioritize recipes you can make without buying anything else. Leave it off to see more ideas, including recipes that need just one or two extra items.
What kinds of ingredients can I add?
You can add pantry staples, proteins, vegetables, fruit, dairy, baking ingredients, and seasonings. Start typing in the search box or tap from the "Most used" list to add ingredients fast. The more you add, the more tailored your recipe matches become.
How is this different from an AI recipe generator?
Every recipe here is a real, chef-developed recipe from the Dinner, then Dessert team, tested to actually work, not an AI-generated guess. Instead of inventing a recipe, the finder matches your ingredients to trusted recipes you can follow with confidence.
Is the recipe finder free? Do I need an app?
Yes, it's completely free, and there's no app to download. The recipe finder works right in your browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. Just open the page, select your ingredients, and start finding recipes, no sign-up or payment required.
