What Should I Cook?

The hardest part of dinner is often not cooking. It is deciding what to make.

Start with what is already available

Before searching for recipes, look at the ingredients you already have. The useful question is not “What recipe sounds good?” but “What can I realistically make from this?”

Think in dishes, not databases

Most people do not need hundreds of recipes. They need a few good options that fit the ingredients, time, and effort available right now.

How GUS approaches the problem

GUS starts with a photo of your ingredients. It identifies what is visible and turns that into a small set of meal or dish ideas instead of forcing you to search manually.

Keep it flexible

A useful cooking suggestion should tolerate substitutions. If you are missing one ingredient, the meal should not collapse. Everyday cooking works better when ideas are adaptable.
