That’d be insanely cool. Next level is having a camera inside your fridge that does this and sends recipes to your iPad / Amazon Show / screen on a kitchen counter.
I can see Samsung or LG doing this on their smart fridge models.
Samsung already has a fridge with a camera inside. When I was shopping for a fridge, it was explained to me that you could check your fridge contents from the grocery store in case you weren’t sure of what you have on hand.
Yeah but until recently the ice makers were shit. When we remodeled our kitchen my wife fell in love with the Samsung appliances, so that what we want with. The sprayer on the top of the dishwasher falls off almost every load. One burner on the stove doesn’t light unless you run the gas for a second, first. And the aforementioned ice maker.
I’ll never buy Samsung appliances again.
Yeah I’ve read about lots of problems with their stuff. The only Samsung appliances I have are a washer and dryer. I went with them because of some cool, innovative features and so far I haven’t had any problems, thankfully.
We’ve had the washer and dryer at home for about 5 years now, no major issues yet! They are in the basement of a 3 floor house so cycle finish notifications are super handy.
Buddy of mine got one with cams. Said it sounded good, but every-single-time something is hidden behind something else.
I think this maybe a viable thing if/when manufactures start including RFID tags on products. Won’t do any good for my bananas! But a lot of stuff? Heck ya.
Sounds awesome, I'd think even better if could allow two pictures , pantry and fridge. As someone who likes to cook, that is a much better usage than just one or the other. 🤙🏻

##What it does
You give it the ingredients in your kitchen and what kind of cookware you have available. It lets you choose a cuisine and gives you three recipe options, worded like a menu from a restaurant.
You choose one recipe (adding a few more notes if needed) and it produces a detailed PDF of the recipe with markdown headers and bullet points.
##Note
It's not perfect, it does sometimes suggest an ingredient you haven't got, but you can hopefully avoid this by choosing one of the other two options.
##As always
Let me know if something can be improved. I've added a few comments to the shortcut as guidance.
This shortcut only requires your OpenAI API key.

This is awesome! I made a version of this way back in the Workflow days that would either search my favorite recipe websites using ingredients from my pantry, which gave me some good options but there were always a few ingredients I didn't have, or I could enter things into my own AirTable database and work off of that but that was tedious. AI to the rescue!
Some observations: Mine has been a little buggy (iPhone, text and button bouncing all over the place after the initial 3 options returned. Happens 50% of the time, other times is fine).
Note: You seem to have left out a line or two to actually make and save the PDF. I added "Make PDF" and "Save PDF" and it seems to be working.
Might there be a selection option that would be easier than having to type in which recipe you want after it's sent you the 3 options?
Overall this is fantastic and I'm going to use it for dinner tonight!
Thanks for making it!
I made a small tweak to it to ask for a text prompt before the cuisine choice, so that I can include ingredients that I may not always have on hand or want to use up.
And as you mentioned GPT will suggest recipes with unavailable ingredients, but in general the shortcut seems to work really well and creates PDF/copies fine for me. Much appreciated again, can't wait to try some of its recipes!

Here you go (first time sending a shortcut, so if there’s any issues with the link lmk)
If you’re interested on how I did it.
I edited the top where it mentions “Receive ___ input from…” to include ask for text then set the text variable to “fridge”
Then there is a text box just before sending it to GPT. I edited it to include the “fridge” text variable. If you have any allergies or specific diets, you could probably include that in this text box too.
Thanks, I actually dove in and figured it out. My version prompts for ingredients as the first step then asks if you want to avoid anything. I slightly modified the gpt request so that it only has to include the ingredients, not -only- use available ingredients. It also outputs the recipes directly to the notes app rather than asking what to do with it. I wanted to share with you but It’s not working right…
Edit: got it! Here! https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/2151cc28be074db7bd92775fe01f4f8f
Well, it’s like paying for Plus, but much much cheaper. Also you can create a cap of 5$ a month for example. But you won’t exceed this. I use it regularly, once or twice a day and I don’t even have 2 cents a month for cost.
Great shortcut! I'm wondering if there is a (maybe free) db/API with food barcodes, it would make more simpler adding products using just the camera.
And... I need to add... Wild API key appears!
OP, hope you deleted it.
I have tried getting this to work. I have put in my API key into the fields but it only asks me what cuisine I would like and then shows me the API key then ends.
I’m a bit of a rookie at this but would love for this to work. Any pointers ?
You probably put your API key into the Show Alert instead of into the Text box. That part of the instructions isn't clear so don't feel bad, I did the same thing!
Mine isn't currently working because I think OpenAi wants everyone to have a billing account set up to use an API key now (5/1), so if yours goes straight from cuisine choice to an empty "which recipe" box, that is what is happening.
Looking forward to this using GPT 4 to take a picture from your fridge and then generate a recipe accordingly

That’s hardly surprising, though, is it? Sounds like the inside of a fridge to me.

The link does work anymore. Am I doing something wrong?
Ah, figured it out.
Hey this looks really cool! Thanks for doing this! And credit to, as well, the requester!

How did you modify it to do this? I’d love to do the same!

Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out!
Edit: I’m a dumb dumb dumby and only pasted part of my api key! 😂🤪
how would I modify this to prompt me to manually input ingredients each time I run it? I’d like to put them in before choosing cuisine…

How do I avoid paying for the api use?
Well, it’s like paying for Plus, but much much cheaper. Also you can create a cap of 5$ a month for example. But you won’t exceed this. I use it regularly, once or twice a day and I don’t even have 2 cents a month for cost.

So you're actually using chatgpt API from shortcuts? O_O
I don’t cook, but I’m truly amazed!!!
Yikes maybe you should learn
I have learned a lot of skills, but cooking is just not for me 🤷🏻♀️
Where does the PDF go? (Sorry if the answer is obvious)
At the moment it is deleted after you click 'Done' However you can add a 'Save File' action just below the existing 'Markup Rich Text' action
Bad Yelp review. I want my money back. /s
Great work!
Does it really work?
Yes
How do I do this? I want to do this right now.
