AI-Powered Recipe Generation
Describe a dish and Recipe Kit writes a complete recipe draft: title, description, ingredients with measurements, step-by-step directions, times, servings and suggested tags.
Available on Advanced and Enterprise plans.
Generating a recipe
- Go to Recipes and click Create Recipe
- Choose Generate with AI
- Fill in what you want
- Review the draft, edit anything, and save
What you can specify
Cuisine. American, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Mediterranean, French, Korean, or leave it open.
Skill level. Easy, Intermediate or Advanced.
Dietary restrictions. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, low-carb, keto, paleo.
Equipment. Standard stovetop and oven, Instant Pot, air fryer, slow cooker, grill, or no-cook.
Key ingredients. List anything you want the recipe built around. This is the most useful field if you sell specific products, because it lets you generate recipes that actually use them.
Monthly allowance
AI generation draws on a monthly request allowance that resets each month. Advanced includes a generous allowance and Enterprise a larger one. Neither is unlimited, though in practice most stores do not come close to the ceiling.
Your remaining allowance is shown in the app when you generate.
Generation is not the same as import
Two different features, easily confused:
- Generate with AI invents a new recipe from a description. Advanced and Enterprise only.
- I already have it written pulls in a recipe you already have, from a URL, photo, PDF or pasted text. This is on every plan, including free.
If you are moving recipes across from a blog or another app, you want import, not generation. See Bulk Recipe Import / Export for the spreadsheet route.
Getting better results
Be specific. "Thai vegetarian green curry with crispy tofu, weeknight friendly" gives you something usable. "Asian food" gives you a shrug.
Name your products. If you sell smoked paprika, put smoked paprika in the key ingredients. The generated recipe is then something you can link straight to a product.
Treat it as a draft. Read the quantities and the method before publishing. AI is good at plausible and not perfect at correct, and a recipe that does not work is worse for your store than no recipe.
Add your own photo. Generation writes text only. It does not produce images, and a stock-looking recipe with no photo will not earn a rich snippet in Google.
What it does not do
- No images. Shoot or source your own.
- No nutrition calculation. Add it by hand, or use the AI nutrition analysis in the recipe editor, which has its own separate monthly allowance.
- No product links. Link ingredients to products yourself afterwards.
