Chef.AI: Plan, Track & Create

Chef AI is back with its biggest update in 2 years! Turn ingredient photos into recipes, record meals, explore nutrition, plan dinners, and cook with confidence.

Meet the all-new Chef AI! Your intelligent kitchen companion for creating recipes, recording meals, understanding nutrition, and making cooking easier.

Simply photograph the ingredients you have on hand, and Chef AI will identify them and suggest personalized recipe ideas. Choose your favorite, then receive a complete recipe with ingredients, clear instructions, cooking times, and nutrition estimates.

RECORD YOUR MEALS

• The Meal Recorder makes nutrition tracking as simple as taking a photo. Photograph a finished meal to receive an estimated nutritional breakdown, adjust the portion size, review the details, and save it to your meal history. Track calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and other nutrients over time.
• You can also save supported nutrition information to Apple Health when you choose.

CREATE RECIPES FROM YOUR INGREDIENTS • Add one or multiple ingredient photos • Review and correct identified ingredients • Choose from three personalized recipe ideas • Customize servings, cooking time, cuisine, and pantry preferences • Add dietary needs, allergies, dislikes, and available appliances • Generate recipes in your preferred language

COOK WITH CONFIDENCE Cook Mode guides you through each step while keeping the screen awake. Check off ingredients, start helpful cooking timers, receive timer notifications, and have instructions read aloud while your hands are busy.

UNDERSTAND YOUR NUTRITION See today’s calorie and protein progress, review carbohydrates and fat, explore detailed nutrients and vitamins, and follow your recent nutrition trends. Your meal log keeps everything organized and easy to revisit.

PLAN AHEAD Turn one ingredient-photo session into a personalized 3-, 5-, or 7-day dinner plan. Chef AI helps you make better use of what you already have while bringing more variety to your week.

MAKE EVERY RECIPE YOURS Use Magic Edit to request changes in plain language. Make a recipe quicker, swap an ingredient, adjust the flavor, accommodate a dietary need, or correct a meal analysis.

YOUR PERSONAL RECIPE LIBRARY Every generated recipe is automatically saved. Search your collection, mark favorites, add notes and tags, give recipes a rating, and keep track of the dishes you have cooked. You can also create shopping lists and find saved recipes through Spotlight.

SMARTER RECIPES FOR YOUR GOALS

• If you enable macro-aware recipes, Chef AI can use your remaining daily calorie and protein targets from Apple Health to tailor recipe suggestions. Your raw Health records are not sent to the AI service.
• Whether you are trying to use the ingredients in your refrigerator, organize your favorite recipes, plan several dinners, or better understand what is on your plate, Chef AI gives you practical help from the first photo to the final bite.

• AI-generated recipes and nutrition values are estimates and may be inaccurate. Always use your own judgment regarding food safety, allergens, dietary suitability, and nutritional needs. *
