Good questions
Frequently asked
How are the substitutions generated?
We use AI trained on cooking and allergen knowledge. It reads every ingredient — including sneaky ones like store-bought pesto or soy sauce — checks it against everyone in your household at once, and picks a single swap that works for all of them.
Does it work with recipes in other languages?
Yes, on a best-effort basis. Paste a recipe in any language and we'll reply in that same language.
Can I edit the modified recipe?
Absolutely. Tap any line of the modified recipe — the title, an ingredient, or a step — to edit it before copying or saving.
Can I trust it for severe allergies?
freeformkitchen is a helpful starting point, not a guarantee. We can't see inside packaged ingredients, and recipes change. Always read labels and check for cross-contamination warnings, especially for serious allergies.
Will the swapped recipe still taste and cook like the original?
Yes. The AI rewrites the cooking steps along with the ingredients, not just the shopping list, so the method still works with the new swaps. You can tap any line to tweak a swap before you cook, then save the version that tasted right.
How can I adapt one recipe for multiple food allergies?
Use freeformkitchen as a recipe converter for multiple food allergies: add each person's restrictions to your household, paste the recipe, and the AI checks every ingredient against everyone at once, then gives you one version that works for the whole table.
Can it make low sodium recipes?
Yes. Add a Low Sodium profile and freeformkitchen swaps high-sodium ingredients like broth, soy sauce, cured meats and seasoning blends for lower-sodium alternatives, then adjusts the seasoning so the dish still tastes full, not flat.
Does it work for diabetic friendly and heart healthy recipes?
Yes. The Diabetic-Friendly profile reduces added sugars and refined carbs, and the Heart-Healthy profile cuts saturated fat and sodium while swapping in healthier fats and whole grains. Both rewrite the cooking steps so the dish still tastes right.
"As a grandmother, our weekly family dinners are something I look forward to, but figuring out what to cook so that everyone could safely eat had become a lot of work. FreeformKitchen has made it so much easier. I paste in a recipe I want to try, and the app suggests swaps for ingredients that could be a problem. Now I can make a variety of great meals the whole family enjoys."
"FreeformKitchen has been a lifesaver for my busy family. I can easily save all our favorite recipes in one place, and the ingredient swap feature has saved us so much time and money. I highly recommend it! I am so glad I found this app. It has made meal planning so much easier and enjoyable."
"Having a child with food allergies made weeknight meals so stressful. I felt like I had to choose between serving the same few safe meals over and over or cooking something different for everyone like a short-order cook. FreeformKitchen has taken so much of the pressure off meal planning and helped us find meals we can all enjoy together. It's brought more ease, and a little more fun, back to our family dinners."
freeformkitchen is a recipe adaptation tool that instantly rewrites any recipe to be safe for every dietary restriction in your household — all at once. Paste a recipe from anywhere, or snap a photo of one from a cookbook or screenshot, and freeformkitchen checks every ingredient against each person's allergies, intolerances, and dietary preferences, then suggests a single set of substitutions that works for the whole table.
It's built for busy households where one meal has to satisfy everyone: the gluten-free aunt, the dairy-free toddler, the vegan teenager, and the nut-allergic grandparent. Instead of cooking separate dishes or scouring labels, you get one safe version of the recipe you already love — with ingredients and steps you can edit before you cook, then save to a personal library of dishes that work for your kitchen.
freeformkitchen is built by a small team that believes inclusive cooking should be effortless. We combine AI with allergen knowledge to make meals that bring everyone together — safely and deliciously. We're always learning from real kitchens, and we treat every substitution as a helpful starting point, never a guarantee: always read labels and check for cross-contamination, especially for serious allergies.

"The night I served three separate dinners and still watched my son feel left out, I knew there had to be a better way."
When my son was diagnosed with a nut allergy at age three, our kitchen changed overnight. Birthday parties became minefields. Family dinners meant scanning every label, then cooking a "safe" version that never quite tasted like the original. I'd watch him eat his separate plate while everyone else shared one dish, and the look on his face broke my heart every single time.
I'm a health coach by training, so I knew the substitutions — but knowing them and juggling them for a household with five different needs are two very different things. I spent evenings rewriting recipes by hand, second-guessing every ingredient, terrified I'd miss something hidden in a sauce or a spice blend.
freeformkitchen started as the tool I wished I'd had on those nights: paste any recipe, tell it who's eating, and get back one version that works for the whole table — so no one eats alone, and no parent has to choose between safe and included.
