into the fridge.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Dinner shouldn’t take this much thought.
Most recipe apps hand you a cookbook and walk away. Cookpal starts where you actually start — with what’s already in the fridge.
- “What should I cook tonight?” — every single evening.
- The fridge is full of odds and ends, but none of it adds up to a meal.
- You’re too tired to go shopping, and every recipe online wants one more thing.
- Something you can’t eat keeps showing up in every suggestion.
- Three recipes in one night means rewriting the same list three times.
- Every recipe app defaults to one cuisine — and it’s never yours.
HOW COOKPAL HELPS
Designed for the moments dinner falls apart.
Each part of Cookpal does one job — well, then gets out of your way.
“I’m not going shopping tonight.”
Use what you already have.
Flip one switch and Cookpal stops introducing new ingredients. Whatever you typed in is what shows up in the recipe — nothing else. The only extras are basic pantry staples you almost certainly have (salt, oil, common seasonings). No surprise “oh wait, I need to buy this too.”

Pantry-only mode
No new ingredients will be introduced. Salt, oil and basic seasonings only.
“Allergies keep showing up.”
Tell Cookpal once. It remembers.
Save the ingredients you avoid — peanuts, shellfish, cilantro, whatever — and Cookpal won’t put them in another recipe. Need to block something just for tonight? Drop it in for one request and it’s gone after.

Always want 30 minutes, low-carb, one pan? Save it as a setup. You can keep up to ten — weekday quick wins, date night, kids-approved — and each one loads with a tap.

“My shopping list is a mess.”
A shopping list that follows the meal.
Tap any ingredient on any recipe — it goes straight to your list, grouped by dish so you remember what’s for what. Cooking for six instead of two? Bump the servings and the quantities re-do themselves.

“This app doesn’t know my kitchen.”
Cooks the way your country cooks.
Tell Cookpal where you live and it builds recipes around ingredients you’ll actually find at your supermarket. Same fridge, different country — pad krapow in Bangkok, schnitzel in Berlin, cacio e pepe in Rome.

Suggestions adapt: Same fridge → pad krapow in Bangkok, pasta puttanesca in Rome.
AFTER YOU COOK
The recipes you love stick around.
Cookpal isn’t a one-shot suggestion box. The dishes you make once become the ones you come back to.
Find that recipe from last week.
Everything you generate is saved to your history, with the photo. No more “what was that pasta thing I made?” — just scroll back and tap.
Send it to your partner.
Every recipe gets its own link. Copy it, share to X, LINE, or Facebook, or drop it into your phone’s share sheet. Whoever you send it to can open it without signing up.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. Under a minute.
From wondering what’s for dinner to knowing what’s for dinner.
- 01
Open the fridge.
Type what you can see — leftovers count too. Up to twenty ingredients, with autocomplete that already knows the names.
- 02
Add what matters.
How long have you got? Healthy? Spicy? Vegetarian? Set whatever you care about — or skip it all. Cookpal still works.
- 03
Pick one and cook.
Three recipes show up, each with a photo. Choose one, set how many people you’re feeding, and tap the ingredients you need into your shopping list.
