Common questions

Why are there three menus for one day?

Because "what should I cook" depends entirely on how much time and energy you have. The same date is written at three effort levels so you can pick the one that fits tonight.

Are the calories per serving or for the whole dish?

Per serving, always. The yield is printed on every recipe and the serving slider rescales the ingredients and the macros together.

Can I get today's menu by email?

Yes — members can have the day's menu sent every morning, and you can unsubscribe from any one of those emails.
