✓ Gluten free✓ Dairy free✓ Beginner friendly✓ Built for real kitchens
A cooking app designed to work WITH the person doing the cooking.
Why it feels different
It helps with the bits around the recipe too.
GIMI is designed for the questions that happen before and during dinner: what to make, what you're missing, how much you need, what you can swap, what to buy and what to do next.
Find something that suits tonight
Browse visually, search, use Quick Ideas, or let GIMI help narrow down the options when you can't decide.
Plan, shop, cook
Meal planning, shopping, scaling and alternatives are part of the same flow instead of being separate jobs you have to manage yourself.
Designed around real cooking
Food that works in an ordinary kitchen.
Gluten free + dairy free
Without tasting “free-from”.
The recipes are designed around gluten-free and dairy-free cooking, but the aim is food that feels completely normal and enjoyable for everyone at the table.
Plenty of veg
Without making a fuss about it.
Vegetables can disappear happily into curries, chillies, pasta sauces, pies and soups. Plant Points also help you keep an eye on variety.
Realistic cooking
Definitely not haute cuisine.
No chef-level skills or cupboard full of obscure ingredients. GIMI even warns you about the washing up before you commit.
Proper portions
Scale it to the people you're feeding.
Quantities can be scaled for the number of people you're feeding and, for suitable recipes, from the amount of the main ingredient you actually have.
Small practical details
Helpful without getting in the way.
The app is meant to be useful while you're actually cooking, not something that looks clever but becomes fiddly with messy hands.
- Dietary preferences and allergen exclusions
- Ingredient alternatives when a swap is genuinely useful
- Plant Points to encourage variety
- Washing-up indicators before you start
- Timers, step ingredients and cooking help in the method
You even get a warning about the washing up.Browse visually
