Hey Product Hunt, we’re the team behind iCook. After years of working with families, clients, and (let’s be honest) picky eaters, we wanted to create something that makes healthy eating not just possible — but easy. So here it is: iCook — your personal nutrition assistant in an app. With iCook, you get: - Smart, AI-powered guidance tailored to your goals - Over 1,000 recipes crafted by real nutrition experts - Grocery planning that actually makes sense - Mini-courses from doctors and experts to help you build healthy habits Why iCook? Because food isn’t just fuel — it’s habit, family, mood, health… and it deserves better tools. People are already using iCook to meal plan for kids, manage health conditions, or just bring more joy (and less stress) to the dinner table. We’re doing our best, and your feedback means the world. Try it, test it, break it — and let us know what you'd love to see next. — With love, Maria & the iCook Team 💚

@ruzana_samsonova Can iCook adapt to specific health conditions like PCOS or diabetes?

Ruzana Samsonova

@matthew_phillips4 Yes, the app can exclude specific food groups such as meat, nuts, dairy, eggs, gluten, fish, seafood, and sugar.

iCook looks super helpful - love the idea of reducing stress around cooking and making healthy eating more approachable. Just upvoted and excited to try it out! 🙌

The chatbot is incredibly handy for answering nutrition questions on the fly, while the app makes it effortless to plan healthy meals for the whole family. It’s like having a nutritionist and a meal-prep assistant rolled into one! The AI gives smart, personalized suggestions, and I love how it saves time on grocery planning. Already built a full week’s menu in minutes - no stress, just good food. 👏 Great job, team!

As a researcher in food science, I find iCook’s evidence-based approach refreshing. It’s great to see a product that integrates personalised nutrition with scientific rigour... and not just trends. Looking forward to how it evolves!

Soo thrilled to finally share iCook with the Product Hunt community! 🎉 As part of the team behind the app, I’ve seen firsthand how much thought went into making iCook practical, technology-driven, evidence-based, and genuinely helpful.

We combined 1000+ dietitian-approved recipes, a smart meal planner, heath filters for allergens and dietary needs, grocery delivery—and now, we’re taking it a step further with Mary AI, a personal nutritionist in your pocket. 🧠🥦

All to help families eat healthier without the stress. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

How do you tackle potential biases in AI recommendations especially considering that people from different cultural backgrounds have very different dietary norms?

Happy to be part of the iCook team!

I really hope this product helps people feel less stressed about cooking and meal planning. It’s about making food feel easier and more positive - and building a healthier relationship with it, step by step.

Congratulations on launching! Thanks girls for developing this app. You have changed a lot in my family's everyday life.

As a nutritionist I’m delighted to use this app in my work. It makes planning balanced meals effortless, especially for clients with dietary restrictions. I particularly appreciate the recipes featuring whole grain flours, there aren’t many like these available online. With iCook recipes, I always feel confident in what I cook myself at home and what I recommend for my clients.

👋 Hi Product Hunt! I’m Maria, founder and CEO of iCook, and I’m beyond excited to introduce you to our brand new feature: AI Mary 🎉

AI Mary isn’t just a chatbot. She’s your personalised kitchen assistant designed to help you cook smarter, eat healthier, and finally enjoy the process of planning meals. Whether you’re managing a busy family schedule, dietary needs, or just tired of wondering what’s for dinner?

Mary’s here to help.

💡 What makes her special?

Mary combines nutrition science, real-world experience, and AI to offer:

• Tailored recipe suggestions

• Smart grocery planning

• Nutrition tips that adapt to your goals

• And even gentle motivation when you need it most!

As a registered nutritionist and a mom, I built iCook because I believe good food shouldn’t be hard. And with Mary, we’re making healthy cooking feel personal again - not processed, rushed, or soulless.

🚀 Even at this early stage, we’ve already welcomed 65,000 active users into the iCook community and their feedback continues to shape everything we do.

📈 We’re now actively raising investment and planning some very exciting new features, including biomarker-based nutrition, deeper health integrations, and even more personalisation powered by AI.

We’d love your feedback, support, and ideas, and if you try it, let us know what you think! 💬

Thank you for backing our mission to bring joy, science, and simplicity back to the kitchen.

Maria Kardakova 💛

love the visual design and recipes of this app!

Love icook! Use it everyday. It is packed with interesting information about nutrition. For me it is really useful because I could choose special recipes when I require it. For example recipes rich in iron or calcium when it was necessary for my kids.
