The pantry
What can I make with what we've got?
Keep a light inventory of the fridge, freezer, cupboard and spice drawer. It's used everywhere in Hedgehog Chef: to rank recipes, skip things on the list and use food before it goes off.
What can I make?
Your recipes, ranked by your kitchen.
Every recipe's ingredients are compared with your pantry. The ones you can make right now come first, then the ones missing one or two things, with what's missing named. Salt, pepper and water are assumed.
- “Chicken” matches chicken thighs; “olive oil” matches extra-virgin
- Optional ingredients don't count against a recipe
- Or ask the planner: “what can I make tonight?”
Keeping track
As detailed as you like — and no more.
By location
Fridge, freezer, pantry and spices, so you know where to look.
Expiry dates
“Use it up” shows what's about to turn, with recipes that use it.
Staples and low stock
Mark the things you always keep; low ones go on the list in one tap.
Fast to fill
Paste a list, one item per line, or move checked items over from the shopping list.
Less waste
The spinach gets eaten.
When something is about to expire, you get a reminder with a recipe that uses it, and the planner can build the next few dinners around it.
Dinner, looked after.
