About WHAT'S IN MY POT

WHAT'S IN MY POT is an intelligent African recipe discovery platform that helps you cook authentic cuisine using the ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Instead of wondering what to make for dinner, simply select the ingredients in your pantry and our smart matching engine instantly recommends traditional African recipes you can cook right now — complete with a clear breakdown of what you have, what you're missing, and where to find substitutes.

The platform is built for home cooks of every skill level, food enthusiasts curious about African cuisine, members of the African diaspora longing for a taste of home, and anyone who wants to explore the rich, diverse flavours of the African continent. From West African jollof and thieboudienne to East African matoke, from North African tagines to South African bobotie, every recipe is carefully curated with cultural context, step-by-step cooking guides, and nutrition information.

WHAT'S IN MY POT is built by a small, passionate team dedicated to celebrating and sharing the incredible diversity of African food culture. Our recipes are researched, tested, and presented with deep respect for the traditions they come from. We believe everyone deserves access to authentic, approachable recipes that make African cooking approachable, joyful, and delicious — no matter where you live or what's in your pot.
