What can I cook with the ingredients in my fridge?
Famishly is a recipes-by-ingredients app: tell it what is in your fridge and pantry, and the ingredient-to-recipe matcher instantly shows the meals you can cook right now. Full matches come first, near-matches show exactly what you are missing, and nothing good goes to waste.
Cook from what you already have
Instead of starting with a recipe and a shopping trip, start with your kitchen. Add what is on hand and the pantry-to-recipe matcher does the rest in four steps.
- 1
List what you have
Add the ingredients in your fridge and pantry to your pantry list.
- 2
Match recipes
The matcher ranks meals you can cook right now, with full matches first.
- 3
Check what is missing
For near-matches, see exactly which one or two ingredients you would need.
- 4
Cook or save
Cook tonight, or save the recipe and add it to your weekly meal plan.
Less waste, fewer last-minute shops
Use it before you lose it
Surface meals built from ingredients closest to expiring, so good food never spoils unused.
Ranked by what you have
Full matches first, then near-matches with the exact missing items listed.
Spend less
Shop only for the handful of items you actually need to complete a meal.
Part of your whole kitchen
Cooking by ingredient is one of several connected tools in Famishly. Keep your pantry current, save the recipes you love, plan a week, or order from a local cook on the nights you would rather not cook.
Recipes by ingredients - frequently asked questions
What can I cook with the ingredients in my fridge?
Add the ingredients in your fridge to Famishly and the pantry-to-recipe matcher instantly lists meals you can make right now, ranked by how few extra items you need. You see what you can cook tonight before you shop.
Is there a recipes-by-ingredients app I have?
Yes. Famishly is a recipes-by-ingredients app: you enter the ingredients you already have and it matches them to recipes, showing full matches first and near-matches that need one or two more items. It works in any browser and installs free on your phone or tablet.
How does the ingredient-to-recipe matcher work?
The matcher compares the ingredients you have against each recipe's ingredient list, then ranks results so meals you can cook with nothing extra appear first. It also tells you exactly which ingredients are missing for the near-matches.
Does it help reduce food waste?
Yes. By cooking from what you already own before it spoils, you waste less food and shop less often. Keeping your pantry up to date means the matcher always suggests meals that use what is closest to expiring.
Can I save the recipes I find?
Yes. Recipes you match can be saved to your collection and added to your weekly meal plan, so a quick "what can I cook" search can turn into a planned week of meals.
