AI Pantry Chef

Turn "Nothing in the Fridge" into Something Incredible

Stop staring at that sad half-onion and the can of chickpeas. Let AI bridge the creativity gap.

The "Creativity Gap" is the #1 reason people order expensive takeout. Heumin's Pantry Chef AI bridges that gap by using combinatorial logic to turn your random ingredients into a balanced, chef-level meal in seconds.

The "Fridge Clear-Out" Checklist

Select at least 3 items you currently have. Watch the AI build a recipe that uses all of them while hitting your calorie goals.

The Science

The Science of
"What's in My Fridge"

Humans are limited by habit; we tend to cook the same 5 things. Heumin's AI uses Flavor-Network Mapping to identify non-obvious pairings that work scientifically.

The Recipe Viability Formula

We calculate the Recipe Viability (V) based on your inventory (n) and flavor compatibility (S):

V = Ξ£ (Pi Γ— Si) βˆ’ Cgap

Where P is the protein density, S is the synergistic flavor score, and Cgap is the complexity gap (ensuring you don't need 10 extra ingredients).

Zero-Waste Logic

The AI prioritizes ingredients closest to their expiration date, ensuring nothing goes to waste and you save money.

"Missing Link" Identification

If you're one ingredient away from a masterpiece, the AI will suggest the cheapest "missing link" to buy.

Dynamic Scaling

Whether you're cooking for one or a family of five, the AI scales the ratios of your existing ingredients perfectly.

The Heumin Advantage

AI-Powered
Culinary Creativity

Flavor-Network Mapping

Our AI knows that chocolate and blue cheese share aromatic compounds. It finds non-obvious pairings that actually taste amazing.

AI-Optimized Instructions

Not just a list β€” simplified steps designed to get the meal on the table in the shortest time possible with the fewest dishes used.

Permanent Pantry Settings

Mark staples as "always have" or "out of stock" β€” the AI will never suggest recipes requiring items you've flagged.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I'm missing a "staple" like oil or salt?

You can update your "Permanent Pantry" settings in Heumin. The AI will never suggest a recipe that requires an ingredient you've marked as "Out of Stock."

Can the AI handle dietary restrictions with random ingredients?

Yes. Even with a limited pantry, the AI filters for Vegan, Keto, or Gluten-Free parameters first, then finds the best culinary match within those constraints.

Does the AI know how to cook?

Heumin doesn't just give you a list; it provides AI-Optimized Instructions. These are simplified steps designed to get the meal on the table in the shortest time possible with the fewest dishes used.

What if the ingredients don't seem to go together?

That's where the magic happens. Our Flavor-Network AI identifies non-obvious pairings that work scientifically. You'd be surprised how often "random" ingredients create amazing dishes.

Powered by Heumin's Flavor-Network AI

Our recipe generation algorithm is trained on over 2 million flavor compound relationships and 500,000+ recipes. The AI understands molecular gastronomy principles to create combinations that aren't just edible β€” they're delicious.
