Mon, Sep l0, TOPONTO (Peuters) - Anyone looklng
to expand thelr cullnary horlzons beyond steak and
potatoes or spaghettl may nd lnsplratlon ln a new app
that provldes reclpes based on what ls already stocked
ln the refrlgerator.
Go[ee, for lPad, lPhone and Androld devlces, alms to
lnsplre food lovers by provldlng reclpes that lncorporate
partlcular lngredlents, rather than for an exact dlsh.
Lobster lovers can swlpe through full-screen photos
and reclpes for dlshes such as lobster carpacclo, butter-
poached lobster wlth fresh tomatoes, or lobster macaronl
and cheese wlth truM es.
"|ts blggest value ls ln a new way to cook somethlng,
whether lt's chlcken or pork or turkey or sh. Often the way
lt's prepared ls what ls unlque, sald Mlchael Lavalle, co-
founder and CLO of New ork Clty-based start-up Go[ee.
The app alms to repllcate the experlence of belng ln
a restaurant, where a dlner mlght see a tantallzlng dlsh
zoom by and declde that lt ls worth orderlng.
The app ls focused more on dlscovery than leadlng
a cook to an exact dlsh. 8ut the company ls hoplng that
users wlll also tote the newly released moblle app along
wlth them as a tool at the grocery store.
A shopper, for example, mlght walk lnto a store and
see fresh salmon on sale, and perhaps also have some
fresh cllantro at home they need to use. They could then
plug these two lngredlents lnto the app and nd reclpes
that lncorporate them, such as a salmon curry or roasted
salmon wlth plnk peppercorn sauce, and purchase the
extra lngredlents they would need.
Go[ee has fewer fllters than other reclpe servlces,
but there ls the optlon to lter out reclpes that lnclude
partlcular lngredlents, whlch Lavalle sald ls helpful for
plcky eaters or people wlth
allergles. "ou can put ln
gluten-free or vegetarlan
and lt restrlcts the reclpes
to those parameters, he
explalned.
The servlce lncludes
over l0,000 reclpes
from approxlmately
300 food bloggers
around the world. Por
cocktall lovers, there
ls also a separate
drlnks sectlon.
8ut t he app
wl l l not hel p
peopl e l ookl ng
for varlatlons on a partlcular dlsh because lt was not
developed wlth that focus. "|t's much more lnsplratlon
drlven than utlllty drlven, Lavalle sald.
The company plans to expand beyond reclpes lnto
other areas such as home decor, women's fashlon and
art. "Our overarchlng goal ls to dene and carve out the
moblle web that's emotlonal, pleasurable and vlsual,
Lavalle added.
