AI recipe generator, costed against your own pantry

Describe a dish and MenuForge AI drafts the recipe, adds any missing ingredients and batch sub-recipes, and then MenuForge costs the plate against the pack prices you actually pay. You review every draft before it saves. AI recipe generation is on the AI+ plan (25 per month) and Unlimited, and the free trial includes 5.

Tune it before it writes a line

Three sliders tell the AI how to build the dish:

• Cost target. How hard to push plate cost down.
• Pantry usage. How much to lean on what you already stock instead of special orders.
• Insanity. Classic and safe, or one unexpected twist.

What the AI does, and what it does not

• It drafts recipes and nested batches from a short description.
• It follows category instructions you save once (for example, how your kitchen builds a burger or a catering tray).
• It writes menu descriptions and social captions from the finished recipe.
• It never sets the cost. Plate cost always comes from your pantry pack prices and invoices.
• Nothing saves until you review it.

Good uses

• Drafting a weekly special that hits your food cost target with what is already on the shelf
• Getting your existing dishes into MenuForge faster: describe the dish, then correct the quantities
• Catering menus written for a set number of guests
