Your week of meals and your grocery list, in about 30 seconds. Tell CestaChef where you shop, how much you want to spend and how you like to eat. It builds your menu for the week and a grocery list sorted by aisle, with estimated prices for your store. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your store: Walmart, Kroger, Publix, Aldi, Albertsons, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods Market and more. 2. Set your weekly budget, how many people you cook for and how many days. 3. Choose your meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner and, if you like, a snack. 4. Add your diet, allergies and the appliances you own. 5. Get your menu and your grocery list. Swap any dish you don't feel like. WHY YOU'LL USE IT - Estimated prices per store. Prices are estimates by chain, not live shelf prices at your local store, so your receipt can differ. - Built around your kitchen. No air fryer? You won't get air fryer recipes. - Your diet, your rules. Allergies and diets are hard filters, never suggestions. - Grocery list by section, ready to shop. Share it or use it in the aisle. - Step-by-step recipes with Cook Mode, so your screen stays on while you cook. - Pantry: what you already have at home is taken into account, so you don't buy it twice. - Save your weeks and come back to them any time. DIETS AND ALLERGIES Quick, High Protein, Mediterranean, Family, Light, Balanced, vegetarian, vegan and keto. Allergy filters for gluten, dairy, tree nuts, fish, egg and soy. CESTACHEF PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) The menu, the grocery list and estimated prices are free. Premium adds Diet Mode (a menu matched to your calorie target), Compare Stores and batch cooking by session. Try it free for 1 month. The price and length of each plan are shown in the store before you confirm. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
