AI-Generated, Not Hand-Curated
Every recipe is freshly created by AI based on your inputs. That means infinite variety — but occasionally a suggestion might need a small tweak. You're always in control of the final dish.
App Walkthrough
A step-by-step look at how our AI chef turns your fridge ingredients into personalised, nutrition-optimised meals — in under a minute.
Here's exactly what happens when you use Helix Kitchen, from sign-up to sitting down to a personalised meal.
Getting started takes less than a minute. Create your free account with just your name and email, then choose the plan that fits your goals. Whether you're exploring healthier eating or fine-tuning your macros, there's a tier designed for you — and you can always change later.

Tip: All plans come with a 7-day free trial, so you can explore everything before committing.
Open up your fridge and pantry, then type in whatever ingredients you have on hand. Chef Marco — our AI chef — will build a restaurant-quality recipe around what you already own. No need to buy a long list of specialty items just to cook one meal.

Tip: Don't worry about being precise — even rough descriptions like "some chicken" or "leftover rice" work perfectly.
Choose how you want to cook (stovetop, oven, slow cooker, BBQ, or microwave), whether it's a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend showpiece, and your nutrition focus — Balanced, Low Fat, High Fibre, Low Sugar, Low Carb, High Protein, or Full Flavour. You can also set your serving size and preferred units.

Tip: These preferences are saved between sessions so you don't have to set them every time.
In seconds, Chef Marco creates a full recipe with clear step-by-step instructions, complete ingredient list with quantities, and a detailed nutrition breakdown per serving — including calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, sugar, and sodium. Every recipe also flags common allergens so you know exactly what you're eating.

Tip: Love it? Tap the heart icon to save it to your Favourites for quick access later.
Use the weekly Meal Planner to map out breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks from Monday to Sunday. Add recipes from your favourites or generate new ones on the spot. Once your week is planned, Helix Kitchen automatically generates a categorised shopping list — grouped by proteins, dairy, vegetables, grains, and pantry items — so your grocery run is quick and painless.

Tip: The shopping list intelligently combines quantities, so if two recipes call for chicken breast, you'll see one combined total.
If you're tracking specific nutrition targets — whether for body composition, athletic performance, or a clinical protocol — the Macro Targets feature lets you set precise goals for calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, sugar, and sodium. Set each as a minimum or maximum, and Chef Marco engineers every recipe to hit your numbers.

Tip: If a recipe lands more than 20% off your targets, the app automatically suggests ingredient adjustments to get you back on track.
Sometimes you know exactly what you want. With Dish Request, just describe the meal — "slow cooker beef stroganoff" or "Thai green curry with tofu" — and Chef Marco will create a complete recipe tailored to your ingredients, nutrition preferences, and macro targets.

Tip: This is great for recreating restaurant favourites at home with a healthy twist.
