## What is Chive?

What are we eating this week? Chive decides it with you.

Tell Chive where you shop, how many of you there are, which days you cook, which meals to plan and how much you want to spend. In seconds you get the week's menu within your budget, with an estimated cost based on typical prices at your supermarket.

A WEEKLY PLAN THAT FITS YOU
• Lunch and dinner for the days you choose, with the cost of each dish and the total for the week.
• Respects your diet, your allergens, the proteins you prefer and the appliances in your kitchen.
• Not sure about a dish? Swap it with one tap or regenerate the plan.

AUTOMATIC SHOPPING LIST
• Every ingredient for the week, added up and sorted by aisle.
• Check off what you already have and add anything else.

STEP-BY-STEP RECIPES
• Ingredients scaled to your household, plus macros and cooking time.
• Cooking mode: one step per screen, large text and no distractions.

EXPLORE AND SAVE
• Search recipes or browse by cuisine: Spanish, Italian, Mediterranean, Asian, Mexican and Indian.
• Save your favorites, mark the ones you've cooked, rate them and add notes.

Works with supermarkets in the US (any ZIP code), UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Latin America, in your currency. Costs are estimates.

Chive isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any supermarket; names belong to their owners. Recipes are filtered by the allergens you choose, but always check product labels.
