How it works

  1. Step 1

    List your ingredients

    For example: “chicken thighs, rice, spinach, lemon, garlic”.

  2. Step 2

    Set your limits

    Pick how much time you have and the style of meal you want.

  3. Step 3

    Cook

    Get recipe ideas with steps and nutrition details, then start cooking.

Cut food waste at home

Half-used vegetables and leftover proteins are easy to forget. Asking an AI recipe generator what to make with them turns odds and ends into a proper meal and keeps good food out of the bin.

Tips for better results

Mention the main ingredients first, add any dietary needs (such as dairy-free or high-protein), and say what you don't want. The more specific you are, the more useful the ideas will be.

Questions

Do I need every ingredient in the recipe?

Olio builds ideas around what you list. Recipes may still include common basics such as oil, salt or spices.

Can I say what I don't want?

Yes. Describe dislikes or dietary needs in your request and Olio will take them into account.
