How it works

Choose a meal, cuisine, time and difficulty, then tap Pick a dish. Reroll for another idea, or tap “Not this one” and it won't come back this visit. Cooking for a household? Start a group pick and everyone votes from their own phone.

Times are rough, start to finish. Dishes marked vegan contain no meat, fish, dairy, eggs or honey as normally made. Our recipe search adds “vegan” for them, but always check the recipe you choose.
