What to cook, what to eat? We constantly have moments where we look through our fridge and think of a recipe to cook, but stop short of missing the ingredients necessary to make that delicious dish. What if we told you there was an app that could give you many suggestions for everything you have, without going to the grocery store. Today, Recipeas, the intuitive recipe app that tells you what to cook with ingredients you have on hand, today announced the launch of their mobile app. By applying sophisticated probabilistic techniques, Recipeas aggregates the best recipes from leading websites and blogs, curated to the specific ingredients found in users’ kitchens, and for each in-app donation, Recipeas gives proceeds to a local food bank.
With consumers cooking from home more than ever before, the best new recipe search app makes it easier than ever to find delicious, interesting recipes users can make without having to plan an elaborate meal. Recipeas first asks users about a few key ingredients that they are likely to have based on initial probability, and displays curated recipe results that they are likely able to make. With each use, Recipeas gets smarter, remembering what ingredients users select, and intuitively referencing decay rate to track when they expire or run out. Hand curated by food lovers, new searchable recipes are added daily. “The app came out of a personal need,” said Nate McGuire, Founder of Recipeas and Partner at Mayven Studios.
“Given the current climate, it can be easy to get stuck in a rut with your cooking, and I wanted to create something that would open up a new world of recipes, without a trip to the grocery store. Recipeas is not only a source of inspiration and information, but a response to the times. Never have we needed innovation such as this as we do now, and my hope is that Recipeas will offer consumers an alternative to going outside, and a reason to stay home.,” Nate continues.
“Recipeas is also a means of giving back. My great-grandmother helped start a food bank in Northern California, and she inspired me to incorporate a donation program as a cornerstone to the app. The app is free to download, and users can donate directly through the app with proceeds going directly to food banks across California; an initiative which is growing exponentially, thanks to our quickly expanding user base.” You can download Recipeas here. We interviewed Nate on the app, his favorite recipes, and how he hopes to revolutionize this good space. Keep reading for more!
