Why it works

Less searching. More useful choices.

Most cooking apps begin with a recipe. Let Them Cook begins with you. It looks at your ingredients, dietary needs and cooking routine before showing you a short list of meals.

  1. Add your ingredients
  2. Save your preferences
  3. Choose a suitable meal
  4. Shop for what is missing
  5. Get help while cooking

Step 1

Add what you have

Type your ingredients, take a photo, or say them out loud. You can review and correct everything before it is saved.

Once your pantry is set up, you do not have to enter the same ingredients every time. Expiry dates also help you see what should be used first.

  • Add groceries by typing, photo, or voice
  • Keep ingredients and expiry dates in one place
  • Review and correct items before saving

Step 2

Choose from meals that make sense

The app checks your kitchen before it suggests a meal.

Let Them Cook considers what you own, your dietary needs, allergies, dislikes, available time, cooking skill and appliances. You get a shorter list of meals that you could realistically cook tonight.

  • Uses ingredients already in your kitchen
  • Uses your saved dietary needs and dislikes
  • Matched to your time, equipment, and skill level

Step 3

Plan around what you already have

Build breakfast, lunch and dinner plans around the food you already own and the way you usually cook.

Cook Now focuses on meals you can make immediately. Plan Ahead helps you organise the week and shows which ingredients you still need.

  • Plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the week
  • Reuse ingredients across meals where it makes sense
  • Keep the plan connected to your pantry and shopping list

Step 4

Shop for what is missing

Once you choose meals, Let Them Cook turns the remaining gaps into a focused shopping list.

The app checks your pantry first, so ingredients you already own are not added again. For tonight, it can favour meals that need no shopping. For the week, it can add the few extras you need.

  • Shopping list built from chosen meals
  • Existing pantry items removed automatically
  • Restock without unnecessary duplicates

Step 5

Get help while you cook

Ask Chef for substitutions, timing help, or guidance while you cook.

Chef already has your current recipe, pantry and saved preferences, so you do not have to explain everything again when you need a substitution or timing tip.

  • Ask for swaps and timing help while cooking
  • Keep the current recipe and pantry in context
  • Get guidance matched to your cooking level

Common questions

What is Let Them Cook?

Let Them Cook is a personalised cooking app for iPhone and Android. It uses what is in your kitchen, along with your saved dietary needs, tastes, cooking skill, appliances and available time, to suggest suitable meals.

How is it different from other recipe apps?

Many cooking apps begin with a recipe you have already found. Let Them Cook begins with your kitchen and preferences, then shows a smaller set of meals that are practical for you to cook.

Does it support allergies and dietary needs?

You can save allergies and dietary preferences so they are used to filter suggestions. Because recipes and product labels can vary, always review ingredients, packaging, and preparation conditions before cooking.

How do I add ingredients?

Type them in, snap a photo of your groceries, or say them out loud. You review everything before it is saved.

How does it help reduce food waste?

It keeps expiry dates visible and can prioritise meals that use ingredients before they are likely to go off.
