Our story

At Chews Wisely, we believe finding good food should be simple. We want to help you discover recipes that suit your needs, support your health and, most importantly, taste delicious.

Our approach is shaped by 15 years of experience with healthy, plant-based foods. Over that time, we’ve developed a strong appreciation for the role good ingredients and thoughtful cooking can play in everyday life. For us, health comes first, but that never means compromising on flavour. We believe in real food, simple ingredients and meals that nourish you. That means wholemeal grains, grass-fed and pasture-raised meat, avocado oil and natural sweeteners in small amounts. We keep things simple, without refined flour, refined sugar or heavily processed sauces.

We also know that eating well can be harder when you have allergies, intolerances or different dietary needs to consider. That’s why we created Chews Wisely. With allergy and intolerance checks built into our recipes, AI assistance to help you find what you’re looking for, and thousands of recipes to explore, we want to take the stress out of deciding what to cook.

You can set your dietary needs once and add the people you cook for, too. We’ll hide recipes containing your listed allergens and mark recipes containing ingredients linked to your intolerances, placing them last.

We’re here to help you spend less time searching and checking, and more time discovering food you love. Because eating well shouldn’t have to be complicated.

Our checks are a guide, so always read the full ingredient list before cooking. We’re also upfront when nutrition figures or preparation times are estimates, and when photos are illustrations rather than the exact dish.

Good food, made simpler. That’s Chews Wisely.

Where the recipes come from

Our own recipes are written for Chews Wisely. The rest of the library comes from open recipe collections, including Wikibooks Cookbook (shared under the Creative Commons BY-SA licence) and TheMealDB. Each of those recipes links back to its source, and we adjust them to fit our approach, so they may differ from the original.
