I built an AI chef that turns whatever is rotting in your fridge into gourmet meals to stop food waste. Here’s what I learned.

Hey everyone!

Like a lot of people, I kept running into the same problem: buying groceries with great intentions, getting busy during the week, and then finding half-used vegetables rotting in the back of my fridge.

Food waste is expensive (the average household wastes over $1,500/year), and deciding "what to cook with 3 random ingredients" is exhausting after a long workday.

So over the last few weeks, I built FridgeToFeast (https://fridgetofeast.app).

How it works:

1. Type or snap a photo of whatever ingredients you have sitting around.
2. Our AI engine processes your pantry items and generates instant, gourmet recipes tailored to your cooking style.
3. It includes nutritional macros, step-by-step prep instructions, and even a hands-free voice assistant so you don't mess up your phone while cooking.
4. Database-backed Cookbooks let you save your favorite custom recipes forever, plus a 1-click weekly planner.

Tech Stack:
• Gemini 2.5 Flash API (high-speed recipe generation & vision)
• Supabase (Auth, RLS security, and database tables)
• Stripe (Checkout & discount promo code logic)
• Vercel (Serverless backend)

It's completely free to try out: https://fridgetofeast.app

We also launched a 20% discount for launch week using code FOUNDERLAUNCH at checkout.

I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or any bugs you run into!

P.S. We built this under our agency brand FlowPulse AI (https://flowpulseagency.com). Connect with us on X: @flowpulseai!
