About Grublin: Fridge to Recipe
Right, what've we got? There's a goblin in your fridge, and he's hungry. Tell Grub what you fancy, snap a photo of what you've got, or list what needs eating up, and he turns it into one complete recipe. No meal plans, no calorie counting, no ten browser tabs. Just dinner, sorted. Grublin is a recipe app. Tell it what you fancy, photograph what you have, or list what needs eating up, and it writes one complete recipe around your allergies, how you eat and the kitchen kit you own. SET YOUR NEEDS ONCE, THEN ASK FOR ANYTHING Allergies, how you eat (vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher) and the ingredients you just don't fancy are set once in Preferences and applied to every recipe, whether you're using up the veg drawer or craving a curry. Allergens and those four ways of eating are re-checked in Grublin's own code after the recipe is written, not just asked for. Gluten-free vegan and fancy a fakeaway? Sit down. POINT THE CAMERA AT ANYTHING Super Grub reads a photo. A shelf or a bag of shopping becomes an ingredient list you confirm. A finished plate, a restaurant dish or a takeaway you fancy becomes a recipe to make it at home, inside your rules and with your kit. KILL THE 5PM FREEZE One recipe, not a list of forty. Not quite right? Tweak it, or send Grub back for a completely different idea. No more same seven dinners. MADE FOR REAL KITCHENS • Dinner from what you actually have, plus the handful of staples to nab • Knows your kit: gas, electric, Aga or no oven at all; microwave, air fryer, slow cooker, pressure cooker, grill, wok • Cooking for one, two, four or more, with a kid-friendly switch • Ingredients first, no life story, nothing to scroll past • The method written your way: ADHD friendly, New to cooking or Executive summary • Saves your favourites for next time Free to use: a few fresh recipes every day, and more whenever you want them. Go Premium to lose the ads and cook without limits. Grublin uses AI to suggest recipes. Allergens are checked in our code, but no filter is perfect, so always check every ingredient and label yourself. The goblin means well, but you're the chef.

What’s new
Version 1.3.1 · Updated October 18, 2026
Share your recipes, and Aga cooking done properly. • Share: send any recipe you make as a link that anyone can open, app or not • Aga owners: recipes name your ovens and plates, cook oven-first and skip the preheating. Tell Grub if yours has two ovens • "Assumes you've got" lists the staples a recipe takes for granted • Under-the-hood updates so Grublin uses less memory
