Start with an idea.
Keep a real recipe.

Talk with Chefie, describe the result you want, or write it yourself. In manual recipes, ingredients live naturally inside the cooking steps, where structured amount tokens stay bold, editable, and serving-aware.

  • Chat or focused prompt
  • Polished rich-text steps
  • Ingredient list calculated for you
  • Forks keep attribution
Chefie helping create a new recipe in the Hello Chef app

Useful from the first tap.

01Choose a starting point

Talk, describe, or write

Start a natural conversation, enter a focused recipe brief, or open the manual editor for a recipe you already know.

02Build each step

Put ingredients where they are used

Insert an ingredient token from the editor helper, select the amount and unit, and keep typing around it. Tap the token to edit it later.

03Save the structure

Let the ingredient list calculate itself

Hello Chef totals ingredient mentions across the steps, produces the recipe list, and keeps amounts aligned when servings or units change.

Powerful underneath.
Calm on the surface.

AI you can review

Chefie creates a structured draft with ingredients, amounts, steps, attributes, and progress feedback before it becomes part of your library.

Ingredient tokens, not brittle text

A token behaves like one editable ingredient card inside the sentence, so the cursor cannot accidentally split the amount from the ingredient.

Serving-aware instructions

Change the serving count and structured amounts update in both the list and the exact steps where they are used.

Attribution survives variations

When you make your own version of a public recipe, Hello Chef keeps the lineage attached so people can see where it began.

Questions, answered.

Can I create a recipe without AI?

Yes. Manual creation uses a rich-text step editor with an Add ingredient helper for structured amounts and units.

Do I need to enter a separate ingredient list?

No. For structured manual recipes, Hello Chef totals the ingredient tokens used across all steps and calculates the ingredient list.

Can I edit an ingredient after inserting it?

Yes. Tap the ingredient token to reopen its editor. It remains a single protected item inside the step instead of editable character by character.

Can AI-created recipes use my preferences?

Chefie can use servings, cuisine, time, saved dietary preferences, allergies, and pantry context when those are relevant to the request.
