Kitchen Wiz
AI recipe ideas from the food already in the kitchen
The Kitchen Wiz is a Mackintosh Projects app for the everyday moment when there is food in the fridge or cupboard, but no clear plan for what to cook.
The Kitchen Wiz
Scan ingredients. Confirm the list. Cook with what you already have. Plus is live at £4.99/month or £39/year.
Photo ingredient detection
Users can take or import a kitchen photo so the app can identify visible ingredients from a fridge, cupboard, counter or leftover meal.
Human check before recipes
The detected ingredient list is editable, so the recipe engine works from confirmed ingredients rather than pretending the scan is perfect.
Recipes without a shopping trip
Recipe ideas are built around confirmed ingredients and simple basics, helping reduce food waste and make better use of what is already there.
Positioning
“A practical food-waste and meal-ideas product, not just another recipe app.”
Why it belongs here
Kitchen Wiz extends Mackintosh Projects into useful, public-facing software.
Mackintosh Projects is about practical systems that improve control and reduce waste. Kitchen Wiz applies that same thinking to food at home: better use of existing ingredients, clearer decisions and less unnecessary buying.
Consumer product
A simple app people can try immediately, with a focused promise and clear food-waste angle.
Partnership potential
Useful for food-waste campaigns, kitchen brands, retailers, recipe platforms and grocery services once usage proof is stronger.
Cookbook route
The backend stores public recipe-book candidates so strong recipes can later become a curated cookbook asset.
