Dinner, sorted. Every week. Nom plans your weeknight dinners around three things most recipe apps ignore: your budget, your supermarket, and how many people you're actually cooking for. Answer a few quick questions and Nom builds your week โ€” then turns it into one shopping list, with quantities already scaled to your household. HOW IT WORKS Tell Nom the nights you cook, who you're cooking for, and what you'd rather avoid. Pick your supermarket so costs are estimated for where you actually shop. Then either swipe through dinners and choose your own, or let Nom build the week for you. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข A week of dinners, planned around the nights you actually cook โ€ข An estimated cost for the week, tracked against the budget you set โ€ข One shopping list, grouped by aisle, with quantities scaled to your household โ€ข Swap any dinner you don't fancy โ€” your shopping list updates with it โ€ข Save the ones you love, and add your own recipes alongside them BUILT FOR REAL BUDGETS Set a weekly budget and Nom shows you where your plan lands against it before you shop. Choose from supermarkets in your country, and your estimate adjusts to reflect where you're shopping. EATING AROUND SOMETHING? Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, pescatarian or avoiding pork โ€” Nom only plans dinners that fit. Add allergens and they're filtered out before you ever see them. If your choices leave too little to work with, Nom tells you up front rather than quietly planning around it. NO MORE Staring into the fridge at six o'clock. Buying a whole bunch of coriander for one tablespoon. Getting home and realising you forgot the one thing the recipe was built around. โ€” Nom Plus unlocks meal planning and your shopping list.
