New version 1.4.0 → 1.5.0

Elio 1.5.0: cook from what you've actually got. NEW: STAPLES PACKS Set up your pantry in a tap. Pick the packs that match how you cook (Basics, East Asian, Southeast Asian, Indian, Mexican & Tex-Mex, Mediterranean & Middle Eastern, Baking) and Elio fills in the usual staples. Untick anything you don't keep. Add more any time from Pantry Builder with "Add the usual". NEW: CHOOSE HOW YOU COOK TONIGHT Pick a mode before you generate. Full pantry cooks from everything you have and aims for nothing to buy. Staples builds on your pantry basics and adds just a little fresh food, never sauces or spices. Go wild ignores your pantry for fresh ideas. Tell Elio what's in the fridge tonight and it uses it. NEW: KNOW WHAT TO BUY Every recipe now shows at a glance whether there's nothing to buy, or exactly what to pick up. With Pro, tap it to add the missing items to your shopping list. NEW: RECIPES FROM YOUR HOUSEHOLD When someone in your household sends you a recipe, a banner shows it straight away. Open it there, or find it later in Recipes, marked New with who sent it. NEW WALKTHROUGHS Three more on Home: making a recipe yours (photos, notes, edits and sharing), cooking hands-free, and cooking gluten-free. HALAL AND KOSHER Halal and kosher choices now keep pork out of your recipes, and kosher keeps shellfish out too. Elio notes anything else worth knowing, like wine or gelatin for halal, or meat with dairy for kosher. Diet badges now appear only for the diets Elio checks. SHELLFISH-FREE, MORE CAREFUL Shellfish-free now catches Thai curry pastes, which are often made with shrimp paste, and Elio asks for a shellfish-free paste instead. Gluten-free recipes call for gluten-free sausages. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Free-from choices in Settings grey out matching items in Pantry Builder. • When your Fresh shelf runs low, the Pantry tab reminds you to add what's in your fridge. • Close Elio part-way through setup and you pick up where you left off. • Swapping a single meal in your weekly plan is more reliable.

About

It's 6pm. The fridge is full — but there's "nothing to eat." Elio fixes that. It's the recipe app that knows your kitchen: it decides dinner from what's actually on your shelves, plans the week, fills the shopping list, and cooks it with you. Cook what you have. That's the whole idea. IT DECIDES DINNER Tell Elio what's in your pantry — or snap a grocery receipt and scan barcodes (Pro) — then tell it what you fancy: "something soupy," "high-protein," "use the chicken thighs." Tap once and a real, step-by-step recipe streams in, grounded in your ingredients, your diet, your schedule, and the appliances you actually own. Missing one thing? Swap that ingredient and keep the recipe. The spinach you forgot you bought? That's tonight's dinner, not Sunday's bin. IT PLANS THE WEEK (PRO) All the planning of a meal kit — none of the box. Plan exactly the days and meals you want — dinners only, Monday to Wednesday? Fine. Pick your cuisines, write the brief yourself ("high-protein taco Tuesday"), or go wild and let Elio surprise you. Don't love one meal? Regenerate just that one. Your groceries, your prices, your call. IT FILLS THE LIST (PRO) No copying out ingredients, no buying doubles. Elio builds an aisle-sorted grocery list from your meal plan and adds only what you're actually missing — because it knows what's already in the cupboard. IT COOKS IT WITH YOU Raw-chicken fingers? Just ask for the next step. Cook mode reads the recipe with you, sets timers, and answers by voice — you never touch the screen mid-recipe. Elio doesn't hand you a recipe and leave; it stays for the cooking. ONE HOME FOR ALL YOUR RECIPES (PRO) Found it on TikTok, Instagram, a website, or a photo of a handwritten card? Send it to Elio and it becomes a clean, cookable recipe — every recipe you save, organized in one recipe book, right next to everything Elio made for you. And because Elio knows your kitchen, it can tell you whether tonight's the night. Saved recipes stop being bookmarks and start being dinners. ONE TABLE, EVERYONE FED (PRO) One vegan, one gluten-free, one fussy seven-year-old? Save a profile for everyone in the household and Elio creates one meal the whole table can eat. ONE SHARED KITCHEN (PRO) Invite your partner, family or roommates into the same kitchen: one pantry, one shopping list, one meal plan. Whoever gets home first scans the receipt and everyone's pantry updates. Whoever's at the store watches the list tick off as it happens. Join with a six-character code — up to six people, one kitchen, and no more "did you already get milk?" LESS WASTE, ZERO SCRAMBLE Elio is built to end the two worst kitchen feelings: the 6pm "what's for dinner" scramble, and the quiet guilt of food waste. Cook from what you have, and both disappear. FREE TO START COOKING Download free and get fresh AI recipes every week — no card needed. When you want Elio to run the whole loop, Pro (7-day free trial) unlocks unlimited recipes, receipt & barcode scanning, the meal planner, smart shopping lists, recipe import, household profiles, and a shared kitchen for up to six people. Open the fridge, not ten recipe tabs. Elio makes dinner the easy part.
