Frequently asked questions
What is Dash of Chef?
Dash of Chef is a free recipe discovery site where every recipe is instantly shoppable. Find a recipe you want to cook, tap "Shop ingredients," and the full ingredient list is loaded into an Instacart cart for same-day delivery from stores near you.
How do I get the ingredients from a recipe delivered?
Open any recipe on Dash of Chef and tap the "Shop ingredients" button. Instacart opens with every ingredient from that recipe already in your cart — pick your preferred local store, check out, and most orders arrive the same day, often in about 45 minutes.
Does Dash of Chef cost anything to use?
No. Browsing recipes and building your Instacart cart through Dash of Chef is completely free. You only pay for your groceries and any standard Instacart delivery fees, exactly as if you had shopped on Instacart directly.
Which grocery stores can I order from?
Ingredient delivery is powered by Instacart, which works with more than 1,400 retailers across the United States and Canada — including major chains and local grocers. You choose the store when you check out.
Do I need an Instacart account?
Yes — checkout happens on Instacart, so you complete your order with an Instacart account. If you do not have one, you can create it in about a minute during checkout.
Can I publish my own recipes on Dash of Chef?
Yes. The Dash of Chef creator program lets food creators publish recipes with photos, video, and structured ingredients. Every published recipe becomes instantly shoppable, and creators share in the commission their recipes generate.
