Recipe Roulette lives on the iPhone and iPad and is built around one simple loop: open it, point your camera at whatever is in the fridge, and let the app spin out a recipe you can actually cook. You can also type what you are craving — like "quick healthy chicken dinner" — photograph a dish you ate at a restaurant and have the AI reverse-engineer it, or tap Suprise Me and let the app choose for you. Every generated recipe scales its ingredient quantities automatically when you change serving sizes.
Beyond single recipes, the app handles the planning layer. It builds weekly meal plans around goals such as eating healthier, losing weight, building muscle, or staying on a budget, with household size and meal-type controls and swappable options. Dietary restrictions are set once — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, nut-free and more — and applied to everything the app generates. An ingredient swap feature suggests replacements like tofu or shrimp for chicken and rewrites the instructions accordingly.
Grocery lists are generated automatically from recipes and meal plans, deduplicated, and organized by category, with an Instacart hand-off for ordering. A chat assistant fields mid-cooking questions, and a URL importer pulls recipes from most major recipe sites. The app is free to download with 2 recipe spins per day, and Premium tiers unlock unlimited spins, unlimited meal plans, advanced lists, saved favorites, and macro-based planning. It is localized in 11 languages and states that it shows no ads and does not sell user data.
Open the fridge, photograph the contents, and get a recipe that uses those exact ingredients instead of shopping for a new list.
Generate a week of meals sized to your household, swap the ones nobody wants, and send the combined list to Instacart.
Set dietary restrictions and macro preferences so every generated recipe and plan fits your goals automatically.
Ask the AI assistant about substitutions, spice level, or doneness instead of leaving the kitchen to search for answers.
