Misson

It started with a simple mission

Connecting people with personalised meals while promoting sustainability

We put millions of recipes right at your fingertips, tailored to match your fridge, dietary goals and cooking style. We’re here to make finding recipes simple, whether breakfast, dinner, or anything in-between. Our AI learns what you like, to help you discover new favourites.

At the heart of Gumbo is a commitment to sustainability, a true passion for minimising food waste and fostering responsible cooking. By recommending dishes that make use of ingredients you already have, we save you money and play a part in nurturing a greener planet.

Tackling food waste,
one recipe at a time

Maximise your pantry, minimise your waste

Gumbo was founded in 2022 to help everyday cooks after seeing how the challenges of random ingredients or leftovers were causing food waste. This issue not only wastes food but also costs money! Taking a step towards a more sustainable future, we designed a platform that makes it easy to find a recipe by the ingredients you have, turning the challenge of food waste into an opportunity for creative cooking.
