Meet Samsung Food at IFA 2023, the Ultimate Personalized Cooking Assistant

Experimenting in the kitchen is hugely rewarding. There is, however, a lot to think about. What do you do with all those enticing recipes you’ve got open in dozens of tabs? How do you keep track of what’s in your cupboards? Where do you start when preparing a completely new dish?

If these obstacles are ringing any bells, Samsung has the perfect app for you: Samsung Food. Officially launching on August 31 in 104 countries and available in eight languages, Samsung Food is a comprehensive, AI-powered food management platform that helps curious home chefs every step of the way, from shopping list to dinner table.

Novice Cook? Vegan? Health Enthusiast? Samsung Food’s Deep BESPOKE Options Have Something for Everyone

Our food preferences are a big part of how we live and express ourselves, and Samsung Food is all about personalization. With Samsung Food, each user gets their own unique digital recipe box. Whether you’re trawling the web for your next masterpiece or digging through old family cookbooks, new recipes can be saved directly from the web or created from scratch.

But there’s more. From here, by using the Personalize Recipe function, Samsung Food can automatically adjust recipes to meet a whole host of customization needs. Vegan? Healthier Food? No problem. Recipes can be converted automatically into plant-based or well-balanced versions complete with ingredient alternatives. Need something simpler or quicker to prepare? In just a tap, the app can simplify the process for you or trim the cook time. The app can even adapt a recipe to make it more nutritionally balanced, turn ingredients sections into shopping lists or create fusion dishes — an Italian dish with a Korean twist, for example.

Samsung Food is to become even better for Galaxy users. In the near future, Samsung Food will be able to work with Samsung Health to create tailored meal recommendations based on factors like BMI, body composition and calorie consumption goals, helping you smash those personal targets while maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet.

Discover New Recipes in Just a Snap and Connect Your Whole Kitchen

Let’s say you’re in a new restaurant and you order something daring that you’ve never eaten before. The meal looks delicious when it arrives, but attempting it at home yourself is out of the question, right? Thanks to Vision AI technology,¹ Samsung Food can recognize dishes based on images alone. All you need to do is snap a quick photo with your smartphone camera, and Samsung Food can identify the dish, tell you about the ingredients, provide links to related recipes and save the recipe to your personal collection.

Vision AI also recognizes ingredients so you can find recipes you can make with what’s left in your fridge.

To make trying new things at home a breeze, Samsung Food connects a wide range of Samsung home appliances for maximum support during the cooking process. Saved recipes are all synched and viewable across everything including app and the touchscreen of Bespoke Family Hub refrigerators, and you can even send cook settings straight from a saved recipe to Samsung kitchen appliances. The app lets you set timers, preheat ovens and monitor a dish’s progress as it cooks, all from your mobile devices or the Family Hub refrigerators.
