Batch Cooking & Meal Planner

Stop deciding what's for dinner every night. Pick one weekly menu, shop with one list and cook 5 dinners in a single guided session. On weeknights, you just reheat. The app merges the recipes into one timeline: what to chop first, when to heat the oven, which dish to stir while another simmers. A Family classics week takes about 2h 40m in one session instead of about 5h 30m cooked dish by dish (the app's own estimate). HOW IT WORKS • Choose a weekly menu for your diet: omnivore, vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free. Or tap Pick for me. • Set how many people you cook for; quantities and times adjust. • Shop with one list, merged across every dish and sorted by aisle. Share it or add it to Reminders. • Cook everything in one session, step by step, with timers that alert you even when the app is closed. • This Week shows tonight's dinner, how to reheat it, its use-by day and which dishes to freeze. MADE FOR REAL KITCHENS • 16 weekly menus and 52 dishes, with a side such as rice or bread where a dish needs one • Storage and reheating guidance for every dish: 2 days in the fridge, the freezer for later in the week, and a reminder to thaw • Core temperatures to check for chicken, turkey and fish • Allergens for every dish, and a note when an ingredient depends on the brand • Metric or imperial units, Celsius or Fahrenheit • Optional reminders to plan, shop, cook and eat before the use-by day • Favorites and past weeks, ready to cook again • In English, German, Spanish, French and Arabic PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone. FREE AND PREMIUM One starter menu for your diet is free with every feature, including the full prep session. Premium unlocks every menu, and new menus as they're added. Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly; the yearly plan starts with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Storage times are general guidance, not a food-safety guarantee. Gluten-free menus use gluten-free ingredients but are not certified for celiac disease; always check labels.
