Recipes & menu planning

Recipes and weekly planning

Plan the week and build a list of only what you lack.

Find and import recipes

Browse Mealuna's curated recipes or import a recipe from the web or TikTok. Imported recipes become part of your collection so you can plan with them.

Plan the week

Add recipes to days of the week to build a plan. When you are ready to shop, Mealuna can build a shopping list from your plan and add only the items you do not already have in your pantry.

This avoids buying things you already own.

Reusable components

A sauce, a marinade or a spice mix can live as its own small recipe and be used inside other dishes. Change it once and every dish that uses it follows.

A component you keep in the pantry as a ready jar is referenced rather than cooked again, so the same thing is never counted twice.

  • An allergen inside a component carries into every dish that uses it.

Cook any amount

Set how many portions you are cooking and every quantity scales with it. Switch between metric and US units at any time - the underlying recipe does not change, only how it is shown.

Cooking mode

Open a recipe and start cooking mode to walk through the steps one at a time, in big readable text — no scrolling with messy hands.

Cooking mode keeps your place. If your screen locks or you leave the app for a while, the steps you ticked and where you were are still there when you come back.

Recipes across groups

You can browse recipes from your other groups too. Filter the library by group, use the can-make-now filter to see what your pantry supports, and copy a recipe from another group into your own.
