STOP EATING THE SAME 5 MEALS.

UNLOCK HUNDREDS MORE USING YOUR SAME INGREDIENTS.

Hi! We’re Theo and Julie (and little Luca—still more of a sous-chef-in-training).

We’re busy parents who love to cook—but after baby, the dinner magic disappeared. Even with a fridge full of good ingredients, we’d end up making the same three meals over and over.

So we built Half Lemons—an app that instantly gives you creative recipes using what you already have at home. No meal planning, no scrolling. Just dinner ideas that work.

Now we cook great meals again—without the stress. We wing it, but in a way that still feels fun and inspired.

We hope it helps bring the joy back to your kitchen, too.

Half Lemons Saves You Time, Money and Those Annoying Recipe Blogs.

✅ Instant Meal Ideas – No planning required. Just add what’s in your fridge, and we’ll suggest recipes.
✅ Fewer Grocery Runs – Use what you already have instead of making another store trip.
✅ No Food Waste – Save money by cooking smarter.
✅ Quick & Simple Recipes – Because nobody has time for complicated meals.

How It Works

    Add the foods in your kitchen. We remember it always! Your pantry determines the recipes we show you. Recipes using your ingredients.
