Recipe inspiration

Turn dishes, leftovers and ingredients into recipes worth saving.

Inspiration can strike anywhere, a brilliant brunch, a family recipe, or last night's leftovers ready for a next-day glow-up. Don't lose it to screenshots. Just snap a photo of a dish, ingredients, or leftovers and we'll turn it into a recipe suggestion to review, ingredients, steps, timings, and smart ideas to repurpose what you've already cooked. Save it all in one clutter-free, beautifully organised recipe space.

Turn ingredients into ideas

Open the fridge. Take a photo. Let Cenaplan turn what you have into a recipe you can actually cook.

When you import a photo of loose ingredients, Cenaplan creates a recipe import job in the background. It uses the visible ingredients as the starting point, adds sensible pantry staples or supporting ingredients where needed, then saves the result as a structured recipe with ingredients, timings, steps, tags, and planning-ready details.
