Don't just cook, perform magic.
ChefLab is an intelligent culinary companion that turns random leftovers into gourmet recipes, plans structured multi-day meal preps with an auto-generated shopping list, and scientifically rescues dishes gone too salty, spicy, or bland — all inside a bold, brutalist, mobile-responsive UI.
Scope & impact
- Leftover Magic — generates a tailored recipe instantly from whatever scraps and ingredients you have on hand
- Flavor Rescue Lab analyzes an over-salted, over-spiced, or bland dish and returns a chemical/culinary fix
- Batch Compiler builds a 3-5 day meal prep plan plus a smart shopping list, exportable as PDF or image
