TasteBot FAQs

TasteBot is an AI recipe generator that creates recipes tailored to your goals, diet, allergies, and cooking style.

TasteBot is free to download, with optional Premium features available in the app.

TasteBot is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Yes. You can set diets and add allergies or ingredients to avoid, so new recipes are generated within those constraints.

Yes - your preferences can be changed anytime. Go to the Settings tab and select any option in the Preferences section to update it. Your current preferences also appear on the Home tab (where you generate recipes) as a reminder.

Some preferences conflict (for example, lose weight and gain weight). TasteBot blocks incompatible combinations. Other combinations can be very restrictive (meaning fewer recipes can satisfy them); TasteBot will still allow these, but may show a gentle warning.

Yes. In Allergies, add ingredients under Avoid specific ingredients. You can pick from common ingredients or type your own if it isn't listed.

On the Home tab, under What would you like?, enter your request in the text field. You can phrase it however you want - TasteBot will understand. Examples:

• "Use leftover rotisserie chicken plus pantry beans"
• "A keto-friendly lunch that tastes smoky-sweet"
• "A lighter version of fettuccine alfredo"
• "Chicken pot pie"
• "Dinner using salmon, asparagus, and rice"
• "A soup that takes under 15 minutes"

Then tap Generate.

Yes - Premium users can use Make a variation to request changes. You can adjust almost anything. Examples:

• "Make it vegan"
• "More protein and less carbs"
• "Swap chicken for tofu"
• "Make it spicier with peppers"
• "Turn it into a one-pot meal"

TasteBot calculates nutrition by getting per-100g nutrition values for each ingredient from a USDA database, scaling those values to the ingredient amounts in the recipe, then summing totals. You can also adjust the number of servings the recipe is divided into, and TasteBot will scale the nutrition accordingly.

Based on cross-checking hundreds of generated recipes, the nutrition estimates are typically very accurate. Occasionally, the AI may retrieve an incorrect USDA value, but this is uncommon. Keep in mind your recipes' values may vary depending on the brands and products you use.

Yes - just list the ingredients you want to use in the Custom Recipe field on the Home tab.
