What’s for dinner tonight?

Enjoying eating, with meal preps based on what you really love and the ingredients you already have.

I’m Du Chef, the sous-chef in your kitchen. I keep the fridge, the week and the list. You cook.

Put me to work
See how it works

17:30, kids are hungry

Open the fridge, what do we eat?

A photo of the shelves is enough. What you already have decides what comes next.

The chard and the ricotta want eating this week. I put them on Monday.

Cook mode, at the stove

One step at a time, hands free

Step by step, at your pace. Nothing boils over while you hunt for the next line.

While it simmers, chop the parsley. It puts you ahead for the end.

Nut allergy, plant-first, thirty minutes

Said once, for the whole table

What you eat, what you never eat, how long a weeknight lasts. Every week on the chalkboard is written around it.

Sami is off nuts, so the pesto waits for another week.

The whole household

Everyone votes, the kids too

Loved it, fine or nope: one tap each after dinner, children included. Next week listens.

Amal said no to fish twice. I stopped offering it.

Saturday, three bags in the hall

Scan the receipt, not the shopping

The list is on your phone, aisle by aisle. One photo of the receipt puts the whole shop back on the shelves.

Olives were not on the list. No harm — they are away now.

Four bowls, one table

Bring the whole table in

One invitation, and the week, the list and the pantry are shared. The kids have a say without an account.

Tom joined from a text. He does the Saturday shop now.
