Live Kitchen Rescue | Real chefs, real time, in your pocket

We built Live Kitchen Rescue for one simple reason: whatever your kitchen looks like, you should have someone in your corner.

Whether you're staring into an almost empty fridge, trying to recreate something you loved at a restaurant, keeping an eye on calories, trying to waste less or standing over a pan wondering where it all went wrong, we've got you covered.

Dan Burrell and Steven Snowdon, the chefs behind Live Kitchen Rescue

Behind it all are two chefs.

Dan and Steven are involved behind the scenes, shaping the advice, the features and the food knowledge at the heart of the app. AI adds speed, accessibility and another layer of capability, but the experience is built around real chefs, real cooking and real-life kitchens.

Onboarding

It becomes your kitchen

Preferences, household, allergies and intolerances. Asked once, remembered always.

From the moment you join, Live Kitchen Rescue gets to know you. We ask about the things that actually matter, then everything that follows is shaped around them. If you pick something that conflicts with what you've told us, we'll flag it. Not to get in the way, just to give you another layer of reassurance.

Set up your kitchen

Inspire Me

Show us your fridge

Snap or scan what's in, and what's on its way out. We'll turn it into your next meal.

Got a fridge full of odds and ends? Scan it. Get inspiration built around what you already have, so you cook smarter, spend less and waste less. No shopping trip required.

Scan your fridge

Analyse Dish

Photograph any dish

We'll work out the macros and write you the recipe to cook at home.

Want to understand what's on your plate? Scan a dish for a calorie breakdown and nutritional insight. Eating something amazing while you're out? Scan it and save the idea. We'll help you build your own version at home.

Allergen Alerts

We check before you cook

Run any dish through Analyse Dish and LKR checks it against the allergens you've set for your household. If one turns up, you'll know straight away, before you've bought a single ingredient or started cooking.

It's the ones you don't think about that catch you out. LKR flags them, names the allergen, and tells you exactly why the dish has been flagged. Then it goes one step further, suggesting a similar version built around your household, so dinner still happens and nobody gets left out. One household profile. Every dish checked. Less worry at the table.

Set your allergens

LKR's allergen alerts are a guide based on typical ingredients. Always check product labels, especially where allergies are severe.

Rescue Center

Mid-cook crisis?

Describe it or scan it. We'll get you out of trouble.

When the sauce splits, the chicken is overdone or dinner simply isn't going to plan, we're there with a chef's approach to fixing it. Type it, speak it or show us. Then carry on cooking.

LKR Assistant

Talk or call

Hands covered? Just ask out loud.

Sometimes you can't stop to type. Call the assistant, describe what's happening in the pan and get an answer while you're still standing over it. A chef's approach, in real time.

Cookbook

Your personal cooking library

Recipes. Rescues. Chef notes. All saved, all yours.

Every recipe you create and every dish you rescue can be saved to your own digital cookbook, building a collection of food that actually means something to you. The dishes you'll cook again and again.

Open your cookbook

Food Rescue

Track waste. Save food. Save money.

Items rescued. Money saved. Items wasted.

Log what you save and what you lose, then watch the week add up. Not a scoreboard, a habit. Waste less because you can see it, not because someone told you off.

Track your week

Between us: the Ritz, Tom Kerridge, the Galvin brothers, Chapter One, Aqua Shard. Michelin training and a lot of long nights. Every week we're in the Community sharing seasonal inspiration, shopping advice, ideas and everything we love about food. We don't want this to be something you open only when things go wrong. We want it to become part of how you cook.
