Sound Familiar?

Every recipe is a gamble

You have food allergies, but every recipe site makes you guess what’s safe. One wrong ingredient means a hospital visit — not just a bad meal.

Staring at your fridge

You have ingredients but zero inspiration. Searching “chicken broccoli rice” gives you 10,000 results — none using what you actually have.

Cookbooks gathering dust

You have family recipes and beautiful cookbooks sitting on the shelf. No easy way to digitize them, search them, or check them against your allergies.

Chef Maëlle was built to solve exactly this.
