Recipes from Ingredients You Have

Ingredient-first cooking starts with your fridge and pantry instead of a shopping list.

Why ingredient-first works

Searching for a recipe first often creates extra shopping. Starting with what you already own can reduce waste and make dinner faster.

Use the main ingredients as anchors

Protein, vegetables, grains, pasta, eggs, dairy, and sauces usually define the shape of a meal. Once those are clear, smaller ingredients become flexible.

How GUS helps

Take a photo of the ingredients you have. GUS can identify visible items and suggest dishes that make sense from that starting point.

Do not expect perfect inventory from one photo

Packaging, lighting, overlapping items, and hidden ingredients can affect recognition. You should still use your own judgment and adjust the suggestion to what is actually available.
