+
+We're happy to announce that EasyChef.ai is the first product to join the Simple Bytes family through acquisition.
+
+## What is EasyChef?
+
+[EasyChef.ai](https://easychef.ai) is an AI-powered cooking assistant available on iOS, Android, and the web. The idea is simple: tell it what ingredients you have, set your dietary preferences and available equipment, and it generates personalized recipes you can actually make right now.
+
+No more staring into the fridge wondering what to cook. No more buying ingredients for a single recipe and letting the rest go to waste.
+
+## Why We Acquired It
+
+EasyChef fits the Simple Bytes philosophy perfectly — it's a small, focused tool that solves a real everyday problem. Millions of people throw away food every week simply because they don't know what to make with what they have. EasyChef tackles that directly.
+
+The app already had over 1,000 active home cooks when we acquired it, and the feedback has been consistently positive. It's the kind of product that earns loyalty through usefulness, not marketing.
+
+## What It Does
+
+- **Ingredient-based recipes** — Select what's in your kitchen, get recipes that actually use those items
+- **Global cuisines** — Mexican, Indian, Italian, and dozens more
+- **Diet-aware** — Supports gluten-free, paleo, vegan, and custom dietary needs
+- **Equipment-aware** — Factors in whether you have a microwave, oven, stovetop, or air fryer
+- **Reduce waste** — Helps you use up what you've already bought
+
+## Pricing
+
+EasyChef is available for €2.99/month or €29.99/year — full access, no tiers, no feature gating.
+
+## What's Next
+
+We're investing in improving the recipe generation quality and expanding cuisine coverage. The core product will stay simple and affordable. If you cook at home and hate food waste, [give it a try](https://easychef.ai).
