17 cuisines to explore
From a quiet Tuesday dinner to a weekend culinary adventure — pick a cuisine and cook something you've never made before.
🎲 Surprise Me rolls a random cuisine on every tap — great for breaking out of a cooking rut.
How it works
Three taps to a new cuisine.
Pick a cuisine
Choose from 17 cuisines or let Surprise Me pick one for you. No ingredients needed — just tap and go.
AI generates recipes
Frittu creates 3 recipes (up to 6 for Pro) using pantry staples — spices, grains, oils, and canned goods you likely already have.
Cook something new
Full ingredients list, step-by-step instructions, macros, and swap options. All filtered by your allergens and goals.
No special ingredients required
Cuisine Explorer is built for “what should I cook tonight?”moments — not “I have these 12 specific things in my fridge.” It assumes you have the pantry staples most home cooks keep on hand: olive oil, soy sauce, basic spices and aromatics, grains, pasta, and tinned goods.
The generated recipes call out any additional fresh ingredients (a lemon, some chicken, a handful of herbs) so you know exactly what to grab before you start. Most recipes need one or two fresh items at most.

Frequently asked questions
What cuisines does Frittu support?
Frittu's Cuisine Explorer supports 17 named cuisines: Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Mediterranean, Lebanese, Korean, French, Greek, Vietnamese, Spanish, Moroccan, Turkish, American, and Australian. A special 'Surprise Me' option rolls a random cuisine each time you tap it — great for discovering dishes you'd never normally cook.
Do I need specific ingredients to use Cuisine Explorer?
No. Cuisine Explorer is for moments when you have no particular ingredients in mind — it assumes you have common pantry staples (olive oil, soy sauce, spices, grains, canned goods) and builds complete recipes from there. If you want recipes tailored to what's actually in your fridge right now, use Frittu's fridge scanner instead.
How many times can I use Cuisine Explorer?
Free users can use Cuisine Explorer 5 times per month and receive 3 recipes per explore. Frittu Pro members get up to 15 explores per day (resetting at midnight) and up to 6 recipes per explore. All explores filter by your allergen and dietary preference profile regardless of which tier you're on.
Does Cuisine Explorer respect my dietary preferences?
Yes. Every recipe generated by Cuisine Explorer is automatically filtered by your allergen profile, dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more), fitness goals, health goals, and preferred cook time. These are set once in your Frittu profile and apply to every explore without any extra steps.
