## Features: The smartest way to cook anything.

Five ways CheffEye replaces the old recipe blog with something that actually understands your kitchen.

### Photo to recipe: See a dish, get the recipe.

Take a photo of any meal, at a restaurant, on social media, or your grandmother's table. CheffEye identifies it and writes the full recipe in seconds.

- Ingredients with exact amounts
- Step-by-step instructions
- Cook time, servings and nutrition
- Variations and chef tips

### Pantry mode: Cook from what's in your fridge.

Add a few ingredients you already have and CheffEye suggests recipes you can make right now. No extra shopping trip, no more "what should I cook tonight?"

- Add ingredients by photo or text
- Filter by diet, allergens or time
- Three smart recipe suggestions per scan

### Social import: Import recipes from TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

See a viral recipe online? Share the link to CheffEye and the AI extracts ingredients, steps and timings into a clean recipe you can actually cook from.

- One-tap "Share to CheffEye" from any app
- Works with Reels, Shorts and TikTok videos
- No more scrubbing through 60-second clips

### Cooking mode: Hands-free, voice-guided cooking.

Big typography, voice-read steps and built-in timers. The screen stays on, so you can cook with messy hands.

- Voice reads each step out loud
- Tap-once timers for every step
- Screen stays awake while you cook
- Swipe between steps without scrolling

### Personalized: Tailored to your diet and skill.

Pick your diet, cuisine preferences and cooking level once. Every recipe is automatically adapted: no allergens, no impossible techniques, no missing notes.

- Vegan, vegetarian, halal, keto, gluten-free, pescatarian
- Beginner, intermediate or advanced steps
- Cuisine preferences you actually enjoy

## And more: Built for the way you actually cook.

### Your personal cookbook

Save favorites, organize them into collections, and revisit any recipe, even offline.

### Nutrition that you trust

Calories, macros, suitable diets and allergens calculated for every dish you generate.

### Ask your AI chef

Tweak any recipe with a single message. "Make it spicier", "swap chicken for tofu", done.

### Privacy first

Camera and photo access only when you need it. No tracking, no spam, no resold data.

## How it works: From craving to plate in three steps.

1. **Snap or share.** Take a photo of the dish, scan your pantry, or share a TikTok / Instagram link to CheffEye.
2. **AI does the work.** In seconds you get a complete, structured recipe: ingredients, steps, nutrition and tips.
3. **Cook hands-free.** Open Cooking Mode and let CheffEye read each step out loud while timers run in the background.
