Frequently asked questions

How are meal ideas ranked?

By coverage: meals you can fully make from what's in your kitchen come first, then ones missing one or two items. Anything your household's diets, allergies or exclusions rule out never reaches the list.

What's the difference between the kitchen and the plan?

The kitchen is your standing inventory — a light list of what's on hand. The weekly plan is a generated set of dinners for the week. Both feed the same shopping list, which drops anything already stocked.

What are staples?

Things most kitchens always have: salt, oil, pepper, flour and so on. They're pre-filled for every household and assumed in meal matching, so they never clutter your list or your shopping.

How do household members work?

Switch your household to "me and others", then add each person. A member's allergens and diets join the household's hard filters; things they dislike show as a warning on the recipe rather than banning the meal; things they love nudge ranking upward.

Can I trust the allergy filters?

They're built on curated ingredient data and work as a strong first pass, but recipe data can be wrong. Always verify ingredients yourself, especially for severe allergies — and report anything off via the correction form on the recipe page.

What do I get free versus premium?

Every new account starts with a 30-day premium trial. After it ends, premium-gated features (like the consolidated shopping list) lock and you'll see an upgrade prompt. The kitchen, meal ideas and household features stay available while their flags are free.

A recipe is wrong. Now what?

Use "Report a problem" on the recipe page. Corrections go to a human review queue and you get an email when it's resolved or dismissed.

How do I delete my account or my data?

Most data is editable or removable in place: members, pantry items, plans and favourites all delete from their own screens. For full account deletion, open a ticket on the support page.
