Grab & Cook
Beta · Household cooking
Grab what you have. We'll find the recipe.
Grab & Cook turns the ingredients on your counter into ranked ideas from your cookbook, Explore, or a custom draft — so dinner starts from the open fridge, not a blank search box.

The problem
Recipe search assumes you already know what you want
Most nights start with an open fridge and a short list of leftovers — not a dish name. Grab & Cook flips the search so ingredients lead and recipes follow.
Staring into the fridge
You know what you have. You do not know what it becomes in thirty minutes.
Typing dish names into a void
Search boxes want “chicken parm,” not “thighs, rice, half a pepper.”
Ordering takeout again
Not because you had nothing — because matching it felt like homework.

Where it earns its place
Not every dinner needs a fridge photo. These are the nights that do.
A fridge full of almost-meals
Chicken, rice, and a lonely pepper are not a recipe name. Grab & Cook starts from that pile instead of asking you to invent one.
A cookbook you forgot you had
Homii ranks the recipes already saved for your household before it goes hunting elsewhere — so Tuesday favorites show up first.
Thirty minutes and a dirty sheet pan
Time budget and equipment are preferences, not afterthoughts. A grill night and a one-pan night ask for different lists.
Nothing quite fits
When the box and Explore are thin, a Made-for-you draft appears from your ingredients — create it when you want the full recipe saved.
How it works
Step 1
Grab what you have
Type leftovers or snap the fridge. Set a time budget, preferred equipment, and whether you want a main, side, or snack.
Step 2
Homii ranks what you can cook
Cookbook matches first, then Explore when you need more ideas, with coverage and pantry fit scored against your declared ingredients.
Step 3
Cook this — or create a custom draft
Open a match in cook mode, refine the batch, or save a Made-for-you draft into your household cookbook.
Type it, snap it, or both
Fridge photos are compressed on your device, resolved once, and reused when you refine — so you are not re-uploading megabytes every time you say “lighter” or “no dairy.”
- Natural lists: commas, “and”, or new lines
- Up to five fridge photos per search
- Time, equipment, and course preferences
- Refine without losing your snaps
What you get at the counter
- Type leftovers or snap fridge photos — up to five
- Your cookbook ranked first by ingredient overlap
- Explore catalog fills gaps when the box is thin
- Made-for-you draft when nothing else fits
- Time, equipment, and course preferences on every search
- Refine up to three times without losing your photos
Built for the open fridge, not the blank search box. Grab & Cook starts from ingredients you already have — typed or photographed — and works outward to recipes you can actually finish tonight, instead of making you invent a dish name first.
FAQ
Do I have to type every ingredient?
No. Type a short list, snap a photo of the fridge, or do both. Photos survive when you edit the search, so you can refine without re-shooting.
Does it only search my cookbook?
Your cookbook comes first. If Homii does not find enough strong matches, it widens into Explore and can draft a Made-for-you recipe from what you have on hand.
What does the percentage on each card mean?
When you listed or photographed ingredients, the badge is how much of your on-hand list that recipe uses — not how complete the recipe's shopping list is. A 100% badge means it uses everything you declared, even if you still need a staple or two.
What is a Made-for-you idea?
A custom draft researched from your ingredients when the cookbook and catalog are thin. You can create it into a full recipe in your cookbook; directions may change slightly after the full research pass.
Can I refine the results?
Yes — up to three refinements per search (lighter, no dairy, kid-friendly, and free text). Your fridge photos stay attached so you are not starting over.
