"Cook It": The app that reads the food in your fridge and warns you if you're at risk of wasting it.

Matteo has a passion for technology, Amedeo for food (his father is a talented chef). They got together and created a valuable app, called "Cucinalo," to reduce food waste, starting with one of the places where it grows most: the kitchen and the refrigerator.

In practice it works like this:

1. Insert what you have at home

When you go grocery shopping or open the fridge, you can manually add items (e.g., “zucchini,” “eggs,” “yogurt”) or, in some versions, scan products or barcodes.

 2. Keep track of deadlines

The app lets you record expiration dates, so you get reminders before food becomes unusable.

3. Recipe suggestions

Cucinalo offers recipes based on ingredients you already have, so you can cook without buying anything else and use up things that are about to expire sooner. The app currently has over 300 recipes, which have already been downloaded 30 times.

 4. Reduction of waste

The goal is to get you to consume the most “at risk” foods first, preventing them from remaining forgotten in the fridge or pantry.

5. Smart organization

Some versions also include statistics on how much food you waste and tips for improving your grocery management.

The “Cucinalo” growth plan includes expanding from homes to public spaces: bistros, restaurants, hotels, and canteens.
