How to use the leftovers tools

Quick answer: Use AI Fridge to create a brand new recipe from a photo of your leftovers. Use Leftovers to search recipes you already saved by photo or by typing ingredients to include or exclude.



Create a new recipe with AI (AI Fridge)


  1. On the Home tab, tap AI Fridge in Quick Actions. Or tap + on the bottom bar, then under Create with AI select Leftovers inspiration (image).
  2. Take a clear photo of your leftover ingredients, fridge, or pantry.
  3. (Optional) Add notes such as must be gluten free or vegetarian.
  4. Review the generated recipe, make any edits, then Save.



Search your existing recipes by ingredients


  1. On the Home tab, tap Leftovers in Quick Actions. Or open the Recipes tab and tap the Filter button.
  2. Under Ingredients & leftovers, either upload a photo so AI can identify items, or type ingredients into Includes ingredient and add anything to avoid in Excludes ingredient.
  3. Run the search and review results. Each recipe shows a number indicating how many of your included ingredients it matches. Recipes with any excluded ingredient are hidden.
