Features worth knowing about

What should I say first?

Tell your AI about your kitchen. A few good starters: • 'Add chicken, rice, and broccoli to my pantry' • 'Save this recipe: [paste a URL]' • 'Create a profile for me, I'm vegetarian' • 'Add milk and eggs to my shopping list' Once you've added a few things, try 'What can I make with what I have?' and see what comes back.

What are household profiles and why should I set them up?

Profiles tell Pantry Persona who you cook for: allergies, dietary restrictions, foods they hate. Once those are set, every recipe and meal plan accounts for them. If your partner is lactose intolerant and your kid won't eat mushrooms, you don't have to mention it every time. The profiles handle it. Example: 'Create a profile for Tom, vegetarian, allergic to tree nuts'

How does saving recipes work?

A few ways: • Paste a recipe URL and Pantry Persona extracts the ingredients, steps, and timing • If your AI suggests something you like, say 'save that' • Describe a recipe in your own words Saved recipes are searchable and you can build meal plans around them.

What are recipe collections?

A way to group recipes however makes sense for your household. You can create them yourself, or they get created from conversation. Say 'this is a good weeknight recipe' and it goes into a Weeknight Dinners collection. Say 'show me dad's recipes' and you get that collection back. They show up as tabs in the recipe view.

What happens when I log a recipe as cooked?

The ingredients come out of your pantry so it stays up to date. Your cooking history gets saved, and you'll be asked about leftovers so those get tracked too.

Can Pantry Persona track nutrition?

Yes, on Pro. When you build a meal plan or log what you cooked, it can show the nutrition behind it: calories and the macro split (protein, carbs, and fat) per recipe and across your week. It's there to inform, not to police: no targets to hit, no streaks to keep. Ask things like 'How much protein is in this week's plan?' or 'What's a higher-protein swap for Tuesday?'

How do I keep my pantry accurate without it being tedious?

Don't try to track everything. Focus on proteins and produce since those expire and drive what you cook. Set staple items like olive oil or rice so they show up on your shopping list automatically when you run out. After grocery trips, tell your AI what you bought. Pantry Persona also flags items that are about to expire so you can use them first.

Can Pantry Persona help with food waste?

It knows what's about to expire and works those ingredients into meal suggestions first. If you have chicken expiring tomorrow and spinach on its last day, it'll suggest something that uses both. You can also just ask your AI: 'What's expiring soon?' or 'Plan meals around what needs to be used up.'
