Cookin' Monster — figure out what to cook with what's in your fridge
Cookin' Monster is a mobile-first cooking app for the days when deciding what to make feels impossible. Pick how you feel, tap the ingredients you actually have, and get an AI-generated recipe in seconds — no blank-page prompts, no endless scrolling, no spiraling. It's built for neurospicy and ADHD brains, exhausted parents, and anyone stuck staring into the fridge, so you can get a real meal (and some nutrients into you and the kids) without paying the executive-function tax.
How it works
- Pick a mood — choose a monster face that matches how you feel (happy, sad, angry, sporty, overwhelmed, or stressed) and the recipe adapts to your energy: quick and low-effort when you're overwhelmed, playful when you're happy.
- Tap your ingredients — no typing; just tap the food you've got. Set dietary needs once (vegan, vegetarian, low-carb, gluten-free, or pregnancy-safe) and only matching ingredients appear.
- Cook — one tap turns your mood and ingredients into a full recipe with a title, ingredient list, and clear steps, scaled to your household whether you're cooking for one or feeding a family of four.
- Cook along — a full-screen, step-by-step cooking mode guides you through each step with built-in timers and encouragement, so you never lose your place.
- Save what works — keep the recipes you love in your Grimoire and return to them anytime.
A calm mode dials down color and animation for low-stimulation days, and recipes can be generated in your language. The monster watches, reacts, and celebrates with you the whole way through.
