Samsung Food alternative

A Samsung Food alternative that builds your pantry from a photo

No Samsung fridge needed. Snap your fridge, a receipt or a barcode and get dinners from what you have.

Samsung Food, formerly Whisk, is a free recipe saver and meal planner. Pantry management and AI meal plans are part of its paid Samsung Food+ plan. Pantry Pic builds your pantry from a photo of your fridge, a grocery receipt or a barcode, suggests meals from what you have and adds only the missing items to your shopping list.
