Read full description

Stop guessing dinner. Tastora builds a weekly meal plan around your supermarket, budget, and household โ€” then turns it into a shop-ready grocery list. Tastora is a simple meal planner for people who actually grocery shop. Choose your store, set a weekly budget, pick the nights you cook, and get dinners you will make, with a basket estimate based on real pack sizes rather than fractions of a product you cannot buy. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Personalized weekly meal plans for your tastes, diet, allergens, and schedule โ€ข Dinner recipes with complete ingredients and clear, cookable steps โ€ข A grocery list grouped by aisle, using purchasable pack sizes โ€ข Ingredient reuse across the week so fewer leftovers go to waste โ€ข One-tap meal swaps that do not rebuild the rest of the week โ€ข Import recipes from a link, screenshot, or the iOS Share Sheet โ€ข Household size, cooking time, dislikes, and protein preferences that actually change the plan BUILT FOR REAL SHOPPING Most meal planners hand you recipes and a hopeful shopping list. Tastora plans the week around the supermarket you use and the budget you set, then shows a basket estimate with pack sizes you can put in a cart. SHARE A RECIPE. KEEP IT. See a dinner worth making? Share the post or webpage to Tastora, or drop in a screenshot. Tastora extracts the recipe, lets you edit it, and saves it to your collection or the weekโ€™s plan. WHO IT IS FOR Households of 1โ€“8 who want less planning stress, fewer unused ingredients, and dinners that fit a real grocery budget. Tastora is a subscription service.
