YiYo

Recipes from the ingredients you have

The answer to “What can I cook with what I have?” is in your kitchen. Pick whatever you have; YiYo suggests a recipe that fits your preferences, and you cook it step by step.

Pick what you have, get a recipe.

Flag whatever is in your fridge: 350 ingredients across nine categories, and add your own if something is missing. Get a recipe that fits your preferences; cook it step by step, and when you're done it turns into a meal with one tap.

Save the ones you like to your favorites and use them again next week.

Recipes by ingredient, in three steps

Instead of overthinking what to cook, flag what's in your kitchen; the recipe starts from there.

  • Pick your ingredients

    Flag what you have from 350 ingredients sorted into nine categories. Find what you need by name; if it isn't on the list at all, add it yourself.
  • Look over your recipe

    From what you picked, you get a recipe that fits your preferences. Its time, difficulty and ingredients are all on one screen.
  • Cook it step by step

    Follow the steps in order. When you're done, turn the recipe into a meal with one tap; if you liked it, save it to your favorites.

Recipes that fit your preferences and restrictions

What you told it during setup is also taken into account when recipes are generated: your dietary preferences, allergies and health conditions. You don't have to pick them again for every recipe.

So the recipe looks not only at the ingredients you have, but at you too. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free diets are among these preferences as well.

If you have an allergy, still check what goes into every suggested recipe yourself.

Cook step by step, then add it as a meal

When you start cooking, the steps come up on screen one at a time; no hunting for your place in a long block of text. Going back to the previous step is one tap, too.

When the food is ready, turn the recipe into a meal with one tap; it's added to your plan.

Don't lose a recipe you liked

Save a recipe you love to your favorites and cook it again next week. You won't have to search for the same dish all over again.

Your favorites are tied to your account and synced across your devices.

What you should know

Recipes are generated with AI. Here's a quick look at what's shared and what to keep in mind.

Your name doesn't go to the AI
Your nutrition profile is sent for recipe generation: height, weight, age, sex, allergies, health conditions and preferences. Your name, email and account identifier are not sent.
The result is an estimate
Generated recipes are not 100% accurate. They are for information only and are not a substitute for medical advice.
You need an internet connection
You need a connection to generate recipes. Your plan and daily tracking, though, are also stored on your device.
If you delete your account
Your favorite recipes, recipe history and the custom ingredients you added are deleted too. Deletion can't be undone.
