This app is for anyone that owns and loves a NOSH cookbook. Now you can turn the recipes from the books into a menu and shopping list in seconds. No more copying out ingredients to a scrap of paper or shopping list app, simply choose your recipes and the app does the rest. We wanted to make this app free for everyone, so there are no cooking instructions, just the ingredients. So just make sure you have your books to hand when cooking like you normally do.

ForTea is smart family meal planning for real households. Every day the same weight: what's for tea? Deciding, checking the cupboards, juggling likes, dislikes and allergies β then still ending up stressed. ForTea takes that mental load off your plate. WHY FAMILIES USE FORTEA β’ Less stress at teatime β open the app, get a shortlist, love a meal, cook. No endless scrolling. β’ Peace of mind at the table β allergies and diets are set once and treated strictly for the whole household. β’ Less food waste and fewer emergency shops β plans use what you already have, or build a clear shopping list. β’ More meals your family actually eats β swipe to teach it what you love; it gets better with you. β’ Confidence in the kitchen β full recipes, right quantities for adults and kids, step-by-step cooking. β’ One plan for everyone β household sharing so you're not the only person carrying the meal decision. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your household and what is in the kitchen (or try a free shortlist first). 2. Swipe through meal ideas made for you. 3. Cook with the full recipe, or plan ahead and build a shopping list. From "what's for tea?" to plated up β without the daily stress.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ForTea at 100% against NOSH's 44%. ForTea also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 17 months). NOSH's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs subscription). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
