What to Cook Tonight? Let Your Fridge Answer

It's 6:14 pm. You're hungry, the fridge is full, and you still have no idea what dinner will be. You could open a recipe app — but those ask you to know the recipe first. That's backwards.

The real question isn't "what's a good recipe"

It's "what can I make from what I already have, right now?" Professional kitchens answer it with a scan, not a search:

1. What expires first gets used first — cooked food, cut vegetables, opened dairy.
2. Pick one flavor anchor — soy sauce, harissa, heavy cream, curry paste. One ingredient decides the whole direction.
3. Fill the gaps cheaply — eggs and rice need only a scallion to become dinner.

The hard part was never cooking. It's the decision fatigue — standing there combining possibilities in your head until delivery apps win by default.

What an AI menu generator changes

This is where PanSnap does the boring part: you take one photo of your fridge shelf, and the AI reads it — the eggs, the wilting scallions, that half jar of tomato paste — then builds a complete dinner menu around what's actually there.

• A full menu scaled to the number of people eating
• Step-by-step instructions written for first-time cooks, with exact quantities and timings
• A consolidated shopping list for the few things you're missing
• Photo-illustrated pages, exported as a recipe book

No browsing 47 recipes that each need three ingredients you don't own. The menu is built from your fridge, not from a food stylist's pantry.
