Recipe suggestions use the foods you have explicitly selected, not everything the image model thinks it can see.
From a photo to a useful recipe
Analyze your image, review each food name and preparation form, and select foods you recognize. Recipe previews update while you select. Save those foods to your pantry to keep the matches. Unmatched or unconfirmed names remain notes and do not increase ingredient coverage.
What the numbers mean
Ingredient coverage is the number of distinct required ingredient names you have selected divided by the number listed in the recipe. Four selected names in a five-ingredient recipe means 80% ingredient-name coverage. It does not mean 80% recognition accuracy, a probability of success, or adequate quantities.
How recipes are ordered
Recipes with all listed ingredients available come first. The ranking then considers recently confirmed photo ingredients, foods you marked to use first, main-ingredient coverage, missing items and estimated preparation time. Cooking oil alone does not qualify a recipe as a relevant match. Saved ingredient exclusions and the selected time and meal filters apply to suggestions. Ingredient coverage does not establish that you have enough for the listed portions.
Preparation forms matter
Dry chickpeas are not interchangeable with cooked, drained chickpeas at the same weight. This collection stores them separately. Generic pasta is not silently upgraded to whole-wheat pasta, and an unlabelled white substance is not automatically Greek yogurt. Exact-name suggestions are only promoted into pantry ingredients after your confirmation.
What is in the collection?
The 84 existing recipes retain their ingredient quantities and methods from version 7: 28 source-adapted recipes and 56 editorial kitchen ideas. They specify amounts and methods but have not been independently kitchen-tested. Timing is an estimate. No nutrient values, medical benefits, star ratings or personal testing claims are invented.
From recommendation to shopping
Add a recommended meal to a day in your plan; it replaces only the chosen meal slot. The planned shopping quantities update. Alternatively, add the missing ingredients as an extra shopping request. Those extra quantities are explicitly additional to your planned meals. A checked ingredient means its name is present, not that enough is available: inspect your actual stock before shopping or cooking.
Keep food safety separate
The app cannot establish allergens, hidden ingredients, freshness or doneness from a photo. Follow FoodSafety.gov's cleaning, separation, cooking and chilling guidance and the safe minimum temperature chart. These are safety references, not validation of this app's recipes.
