Frequently asked questions

What can I cook with the ingredients I have at home?

Type your ingredients (e.g. rice, egg, carrot) and the tool instantly shows momsnet recipes that use what you already have, plus how many items are still missing. If nothing fits, you can ask the AI to create a brand-new recipe from those exact ingredients.

Is the tool free?

Yes. Ingredient search, filters and recipe generation are free, with no sign-up or install — it runs right in your browser on phone or desktop.

Can I filter by prep time and dietary restrictions?

Yes. You can filter by time (under 15, 30 or 45 minutes), meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, dessert) and restrictions (lactose free, gluten free, vegetarian, no added sugar), plus a kid-approved toggle.

Do I need every ingredient a recipe lists?

No. Each suggestion shows what you already have and what's still missing, so you can pick the recipe with the shortest shopping list. Missing items can be sent to the site's shopping list.

Are the recipes suitable for young kids?

momsnet recipes are built around family routines and there's a kid-approved filter. For AI-generated recipes, always double-check amounts, seasoning and allergies before serving children.

Does it help me use up leftovers?

That's the most common use: enter your leftovers (cooked chicken, rice, vegetables) and the tool suggests combinations so dinner is solved with no food waste.

Opened the fridge, saw eggs, rice and half a carrot, and drew a complete blank? 🥕 momsnet has a free tool for exactly that: type what to cook with the ingredients you have at home and it returns recipes you can actually make — with filters for time, dietary needs and a "kid-approved" option. If nothing fits, it writes a brand-new recipe using only your ingredients. No signup, no cost. Link: www.momsnet.com.br/en/what-can-i-cook #easyrecipes #momlife #cookingwithkids #pickyeater #momsnet
