Family meals that work on a weeknight
Cooking for a household means portions that scale, tastes that differ and allergies that matter. Set who you are feeding once and the daily menus scale to them: servings adjust, the grocery list follows, and anything somebody in the house cannot eat is flagged on the recipe rather than quietly hidden.
How it works
- Scale any recipe to the number of people actually eating
- Set allergies and tastes per person in a household profile
- One grocery list for the whole household, aisle-sorted

Questions, answered
Can I scale recipes for a bigger family?
Yes — the serving slider rescales ingredients and macros together, and the grocery list follows the servings you chose.
What about allergies?
Household profiles let you record them per person. A recipe containing something flagged warns you and names who, rather than hiding the dish.
Is there anything for fussy eaters?
Any dish can be swapped for another from the archive without rebuilding the day.
Does it work as a family meal planner?
That is what it is built for. A family meal planner has to survive one child who will not eat anything green and an adult who is off dairy. Household settings hold every restriction at once, so a day that breaks one of them never gets suggested. Portions scale to the number of people you actually cook for.
Is there a family meal planning app?
The site works as a family meal planning app on a phone — you can install it to your home screen, and the grocery list is the part most people keep open in the shop. No separate download is needed.
Can I get a family meal plan for the week?
Yes. A family meal plan for a full week is available rather than one day at a time, so you can shop once. Any meal that does not suit can be swapped without rebuilding the rest of the week.
Where are the family recipes?
The family recipes here are the ones that hold up on a Tuesday — familiar food, ingredients from a normal shop, and timings that fit around the rest of the evening. They are drawn from the same catalogue as everything else, filtered for what tends to work with children at the table.
