Half Lemons - Get recipes using only the ingredients you have at home
by•
Half Lemons is a clever iOS app that does the thing you’ve always wanted a recipe app to do -- serve up recipe ideas using the ingredients you have at home.
Supercharge your cooking by unlocking the full potential of your ingredients.
Hey Product Hunt!
We're super excited to unveil the Half Lemons app! A new iOS app that serves up curated recipes using the ingredients you already have on hand.
👨🍳 Why we built it?
My co-founder and I built Half Lemons because we got tired of cooking the same meals over and over. We love to cook! But we're not pros. We just wanted an easy way to experiment with new meals using the foods we buy. We tried out some other products that claim to do something similar. Let's just say we weren't impressed 🧐🤷♂️
✅ How it works.
1. Take a digital inventory of your kitchen. It takes 60 seconds.
2. Then browse from our huge collection of curated recipes. Every recipe you see in the app is one you know you can make.
3. Nom nom
✨ What makes us different.
Recipes you actually want to make. Human curation makes a big difference. Yes, a human picked Every. Single. Recipe.
Great design is only the beginning.
👉📱 How you can get started:
Simply visit the App Store, or check out our website www.halflemons.com. The app is FREE, and available on iOS.
If you have any questions about the product, feel free to shout them out and my co-founder @julie_dillemann or I will get back to you!
@ayberkbozkus thanks for the good wishes! we hand-pick each and every recipe that appears in the app. the result is recipes you actually want to make! users tell us the difference is dramatic :-)

@ayberkbozkus I had the same question. @theogoodman best of luck with this. One more difference I would like to point out is the amazing UI.
@przemyslaw_rudnik1 Yes! I've always wondered why a product like this didn't already exist! After years of waiting, I got fed up and built it myself! Hope you like it.
Report
@theogoodman this is my most common way of deciding what to eat/cook, and it reduces the waste as well because more ingredients being used rather than waiting for their "moment" and overdue in the meantime.
@jc_haro Android is on the roadmap. We built it for iOS because that's the phones we have :) We're waiting for a few more learnings on iOS and will start working on Android.
Downloaded. Excellent excellent app. Definitely the best I've tried. Some things:
In Recipes - half of the recipes suggested I would define as snacks (kale crisps) or part of a meal (Honey roasted carrot). The other half I would class as a meal (a pasta with a sauce, or a shepherds pie). It would be excellent if these were split up. That way, if I have a load of random stuff I can create my own meal from snacks/parts of a meal, or if I just want a dinner i could look at the meals. Hope that makes sense.
Pantry - there seems to be a few fish that haven't made the list, so adding them would be good.
Might have some more thoughts in the next few days, but this is excellent!
@rdlou Thank you for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear you find Half Lemons the BEST in our category :) It means a lot to us.
I hear you loud & clear that you'd like a way to filter recipes. We love doing things that make our users happy. So keep using the app, and don't be surprised to find more filters added soon! ;)
We added the most common types of fish. But we can always add more. What others would you like to see on the list?
This is great feedback! Feel free to share any more ideas you have with me @ theo@halflemons dot com
