Batch cooking, planned properly. Pick your dishes. The app works out the order to cook them in, so the oven and the hob run while your hands are busy with something else. COOK ONCE, EAT FOR DAYS One session. One shopping trip. A fridge and freezer full of real meals, portioned and labelled, for the rest of the week. A TIMELINE, NOT A LIST OF RECIPES Most apps hand you three recipes and let you work it out. This one merges them into a single timeline: chop everything once at the start, get the longest dish going first, and use the simmering and baking time for the next thing. You always know what to do next and what is cooking unattended. HONEST TIMINGS We tell you how long a session will take as a range, not a single number, and we show you what that estimate assumes: your burners, your oven, how many people are cooking. Washing up is counted, not quietly left out. Tell us what the session actually took and the next estimate gets closer. BUILT AROUND YOUR KITCHEN Tell us what you have: burners, oven, slow cooker, air fryer, pressure cooker. We will never hand you a step your kitchen cannot do. ONE PLAN FOR A HOUSEHOLD THAT EATS DIFFERENTLY One vegetarian among meat eaters. Someone who will not touch mushrooms. Set it once per person and every plan respects all of it, together, in the same session. QUANTITIES THAT MAKE SENSE Amounts are scaled for the batch you are actually cooking and split correctly between the dishes that share them, so one recipe never swallows the whole week's shopping. Nothing rounds to half an egg. Pots have a size and we respect it. LABEL EVERY BOX Every dish comes with fridge or freezer, how many days it keeps, and how to reheat it without ruining it. Eat them in the right order, most perishable first. A SHOPPING LIST THAT MATCHES One list for one trip, in your units, grouped by aisle, with anything already in your pantry marked off. ALSO IN THE APP • Up to 10 household profiles, each with its own diet, allergies and dislikes • Meal plans for 1, 3 or 7 days, in any mix of cuisines • A pantry tracker, and a mode that plans with what you already have • Your own recipes, saved and added to any plan • A leftovers list that every finished session fills for you • Streaks, challenges and badges to build the habit SUBSCRIPTION Batch Cook Premium is available monthly or yearly.

Pick your dishes and the app builds one cook session around your time and your kitchen: what to start first, and what to do while something simmers or bakes, so the hob and oven keep working while your hands are busy. New: freezer first. Two days of meals go in the fridge, the rest in the freezer, and a reminder the evening before tells you what to thaw. The new Fridge tab and "Eat this week" list show what to eat next. Also new: more than 500 recipes from over 20 cuisines, honest time estimates for your kitchen, timers for everything cooking at once, and quantities scaled properly for the batch. Also in this version: • What to Eat is now Batch Cooking, published by Creative Adventures Lab SASU. Same app, the change is administrative. • The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have been updated to match. • Minor improvements and bug fixes ### 1.3.2 — 2026-07-19 This update makes your meal plans smarter about your household's needs, and puts you in even more direct control. What's new: - Meal plans now personalize using every household member's allergies, foods to avoid, and favourite ingredients, including custom ones you type in yourself, not just presets. Add custom allergies right from the profile editor. - See what a plan will cost: an estimated weekly and per-meal grocery range on the Generate screen, plus an "Estimate cost" button on any meal for a rough per-serving figure. - Build a plan by hand: the "Fill in manually" option now also asks whether you want a full menu or just the main meals. - Add any saved recipe or leftover to any day of any plan, not just the current week. - Remove a meal or course from a day completely, or add back a starter, side, dessert, or a whole breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack that wasn't in your plan. - Generate a single starter, side, or dessert with AI on its own, instead of a whole extra meal. - Moving a meal or course to another day with the Move button is smoother and more reliable, and moved dishes keep their correct label. - A tidier grocery list and smarter pantry: repeated ingredients combine into one line, more items sort into the right section, and the pantry checkbox works both ways. We've also updated our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use: more of your household's dietary information, including custom entries you type, can now be sent to our AI provider to personalize your plans. Free text sent to our AI is now scanned for obvious personal information first, as a best effort. Please review the updated documents in Settings.
