List your fridge.
Pick a chef.
Eat in 15 minutes.
A multilingual recipe companion inspired by Korean cooking television. Type three things in your fridge, pick one of nineteen chef archetypes, and get a real recipe a pro could finish before the rice cooker beeps.
Every recipe is generated under the same constraint the show is built on: a pro chef can finish it in fifteen minutes. The clock doesn't count washing, peeling, or waiting for water to boil — just the active cooking, like a real kitchen.
Open the fridge. The chefs do the rest.
No meal planning, no shopping list, no recipe research. Three ingredients and one chef — that's the whole interaction.
Type what you have.
Tap or speak. The catalog recognizes 5,000+ ingredients across seven languages — kimchi varieties, dozens of cheeses, every dal, the fish you only learned about last week.
Pick a chef.
The same fridge becomes a different dinner depending on who's cooking. The Naturalist will make pasta. The Chaos Cook will deep-fry something that shouldn't be deep-fried — and it'll work.
Get a 15-minute recipe.
Punny title, descriptive subtitle, four to eight specific steps with at least one pro time-saving trick from the chef's voice. Plus per-serving nutrition.
Nineteen chefs, nineteen voices.
Each chef is a personality, not just a cuisine. The dish you get depends on who you ask — and they'll never tell you to do something they wouldn't do themselves.
Quick answers.
Are the recipes actually possible in 15 minutes?
The generator is constrained to dishes a pro chef can finish in 15 minutes of active cooking. Washing, peeling, and waiting for water to boil don't count — the cook starts those in parallel before the timer. For a beginner, expect closer to 25–30 minutes the first time; with practice, the time drops.
Where do the recipes come from?
Every recipe is generated on demand by a large language model running through our private proxy. They aren't pulled from a database. The same chef and the same ingredients will give you a different recipe each time, because half the fun is the surprise.
Are the chefs real people?
No. They're archetypes — personalities and cooking philosophies inspired by the kind of chef you might find on a Korean cooking show. They don't share names or biographies with anyone. The voice and the food are fictional.
Does the app collect my data?
No accounts, no email, no location, no contacts. Your saved recipes live on your device. The proxy that calls the LLM sees an ingredient list, a chef ID, and a language code — nothing more. See the privacy page.
How much does it cost?
Free forever with a daily quota of 3 recipes. Star Chef Pro unlocks unlimited recipes plus Cook-Off mode — $39.99/year (about $3.33/month) with a 7-day free trial, or $4.99/month if you'd rather pay monthly. Cancel anytime, no questions.
Will it work for my dietary needs?
If you only type vegetarian ingredients, the chef cooks vegetarian. If you only type gluten-free ingredients, they cook gluten-free. The chefs follow your fridge — they don't second-guess it.
