Mother Cupboard

UK households throw away an estimated £470 of food every year, rising to £1,000 for a family of four. Mostly it's not carelessness. We forget what's in, buy it again, and find it at the back of the fridge a week too late.

Mother Cupboard puts a bit of mum in your phone. Rosa keeps an eye on your fridge, freezer and cupboard, tells you what needs using first, and shows you what you could make with what you've already got. You pick the one you fancy. Less waste, fewer trips to the shop, and someone to nag you about the spinach.

HOW IT WORKS

Snap your shop. Take a photo of your receipt, your shelves or your supermarket app, and Mother Cupboard adds the lot in one go, sorted into fridge, freezer and cupboard. You can also scan a barcode, type it in, or just say "200g minced beef".

She keeps an eye on it. Everything in one place, with use-by and best-before dates colour-coded, so you always know what wants using first. A nudge arrives before anything goes off.

Tell her what you fancy. Quick, comfort, healthy, batch cook, one-pot, kid-friendly or leftover rescue, plus anything you're keen to use up.

Ask Mother. She suggests meals built from what's actually in, with quantities for your servings, the full method, and a short list of anything you'd need to pick up. You choose what's for tea.

Cook it, a step at a time. Then save the winners and cook them again.
