About this collection
How to choose recipes by dish type
Most people don't search for an ingredient — they search for a format. "Casserole", "soup", "steak", "smoothie": the dish type is the decision, and the ingredients follow. This hub groups the Fridge Recipes catalog the same way, so you can start from the thing you actually feel like eating.
Each dish-type page pulls live recipes from the catalog, shows cook time and difficulty on every card, and links straight into the Recipe Picker so the AI Chef can rebuild that dish around the ingredients sitting in your fridge right now.
Frequently asked questions
A dish type is the format of the meal — casserole, salad, stir-fry, pie — rather than the cuisine or the main ingredient. It's usually the fastest way to decide what to cook.
