Ketchup.AI

Ketchup.AI is a lightweight iPhone app that acts as a conversational cooking companion. Instead of scrolling through recipe sites, you ask a question in plain language and get an answer back. That could be a technique question - how to tell when a steak is medium rare, how to proof dough - or a practical one about substitutions and leftovers.

The app also generates recipe ideas based on what you tell it you have, which makes it useful for the nightly "what can I make with this" problem. A history view keeps your past questions so repeat searches are quick.

The basic app is free, with an optional Premium Monthly Subscription at $2.99 for expanded access. It runs on iOS 15.0 or later and is distributed through the Apple App Store by developer Cem Ylmaz. Because answers are AI-generated, treat quantities and cooking times as starting points and adjust to your own kitchen.
