Crumb
Officially listedA voice-driven AI recipe app that turns the ingredients you have into zero-waste meals.
Crumb
Crumb is an AI recipe generation app from Belgium's Crumb SRL (Rodger Studio). Just name the ingredients already in your fridge and the AI instantly generates original recipes, ending the daily dilemma of staring into the refrigerator. Built around zero waste, saving money, and an instant answer to "what's for dinner tonight", it targets home cooks, busy professionals, and students.
Core Capabilities
- Voice ingredient entry: Speak the ingredients you have to get recipes, hands-free mid-cooking, a signature experience rarely seen in this space
- AI original recipe generation: Not a database lookup — recipes are generated on the spot from what you have, with cuisine, cooking time, and servings settings
- One-tap regeneration and comparison: Adjust anytime if unsatisfied, and generate two versions side by side to choose from (added in v1.6/1.7)
- Dietary preference filters: Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free screening, with saved preferences and pantry lists
- Camera fridge scan: The camera recognizes fridge ingredients and matches recipes automatically (added in 2026)
- Step-by-step cooking mode: A vertical step-by-step mode guides novices through each step, plus favorites and English/French bilingual support
Use Cases Suited to eco-minded households that cook often and want to clear out the fridge and cut waste, plus busy professionals and students short on time who want variety. English- or French-speaking users in Europe and North America who accept a subscription fit best; not recommended for users needing nutrition tracking, budget-sensitive users, or anyone requiring Chinese/a web version.
Unique Advantages Where SuperCook relies on database matching and Mealime on weekly planning, Crumb is one of the few players making "speak your ingredients" its signature with AI original generation, and multiple reviews rank it best for voice input. On iOS it holds 4.7 stars with roughly 88% five-star ratings and an 87% AppRecs confidence score, so the praise is verifiable.
Editor's Verdict Purdue University's conservefood.org confirmed that voice search "works better in practice than expected", but the common criticism is that key features sit behind the subscription, and the Android rating has slid from 4.4 to 3.7. The biggest red flag: the official site eatwithcrumb.com has gone offline and the company's status is unclear. Overall 3/5: the free tier is worth a try, but avoid a long-term subscription until the company says otherwise.

FAQ
Is Crumb free?
Crumb uses a freemium model: basic AI recipe generation is free, but key features like saving the Pantry and advanced personalization require a Crumb Plus subscription ($3.99/week, $6.99/month, or $39.99/year).
What can Crumb do?
The core is "tell it your ingredients to get recipes": speak or type what you have on hand and the AI instantly generates original recipes, with cuisine, time, and servings settings, plus step-by-step instructions, dietary filters, and side-by-side recipe comparison.
How well does Crumb's voice input work?
Third-party reviews (healthybowl and others) rank it "best for voice input", and a Purdue University review said it "works better in practice than expected"; however, some Android users report the app cutting off mid-dictation, so the experience varies a bit.
How good are Crumb's generated recipes?
Most users praise the quality of its original generations and the clean, simple interface; but occasional ingredient pairings make no sense (like rice and pasta in one pot), and some results need manual tweaks, so AI quality is still inconsistent.
How does Crumb differ from SuperCook?
SuperCook is completely free and matches recipes from a very large database with no AI generation; Crumb centers on voice input plus AI original generation, but core features require a mid-to-upper-priced subscription and the free tier is clearly limited.
Is Crumb's website still up?
No. eatwithcrumb.com now returns NXDOMAIN (unreachable since after June 2026), but the iOS and Android apps remain downloadable in the stores and keep updating, and the product has not been formally declared shut down.
Does Crumb support Chinese?
No. Crumb offers only English and French interfaces, aimed mainly at users in Europe and North America (especially the US and France); users who need a Chinese interface or web version are not served for now.
