that make le’Chef unique
Scan ingredients, chat or talk with 8 AI chefs, import recipes from social media and cook from 6,000+ recipes in 15 languages — that's the core of le’Chef.
Ingredient scanner (photo in, recipe out)
Photograph your groceries or fridge – the AI recognizes the ingredients and instantly finds matching recipes. Three scanners in one app: ingredients, finished dishes and cookbook pages.
Ask the Chef (AI cooking chat)
Chat with 8 AI chefs – from le’Chef Maxime to Baba Nadja. Each one knows your dietary profile, warns you about your allergens and adapts recipes to your preferences.
Your Voice Chef (hands-free cooking)
Talk to your AI chef while your hands are in the dough: ask questions, repeat steps, convert quantities. In agentic cooking mode, the display automatically stays on.
Recipe import (Instagram, TikTok & more)
Share a cooking video from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook with le’Chef – the AI turns it into a structured recipe with ingredients and steps. Even grandma's cookbook page goes digital with a photo.
6,000+ recipes (curated, in 15 languages)
Over 6,000 curated recipes with nutritional values, times and allergen warnings – filterable by cuisine, diet and cooking time. The "for you" suggestions learn from your ratings and your cooking history.
Weekly plan & shopping list (with pantry)
Plan breakfast through snacks for the whole week and send everything to the shopping list with one tap – shareable with up to 6 people in your household. The pantry keeps track of your supplies, including expiry dates.
