About ChefItUp
ChefItUp is a senior capstone project built by a team of five computer science students. Our mission is simple: help people cook smarter with what they already have and reduce food waste in the process.
The Problem We Solve
The average household throws away a significant portion of the food it buys every week not because people don't care, but because they don't know what to cook with what they have before it expires.
ChefItUp bridges that gap. Add your ingredients, tell us your dietary preferences and allergies, and we'll suggest real recipes you can make right now ranked by how well they match what's in your fridge and pantry.
