Weekly meal planner

Plan the week's lunches and dinners on one sheet. Add our recipes and the shopping list adds itself up, in grams — print it for the fridge or keep it here.

How to plan a week of meals:

1. 1Start with what you have

   Look in the fridge and the cupboard first, and put those dishes early in the week, before anything goes off.

2. 2Cook once, eat twice

   Make a double batch on a quieter evening and write the leftovers in for the next day's lunch.

3. 3Shop from the list

   Our recipes total their flour, butter and eggs for you; add the rest under “Also buy”, then print it and take it to the shop.

Questions:

How do I make a weekly meal plan?

Write in the dinners first — they take the most cooking — then lunches, using leftovers where you can. Keep one or two easy evenings for busy days, and shop once, from the list.

Can I print the meal planner?

Yes. “Print the week” puts the week and the shopping list on one page; the rest of this page stays off the paper.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It's free and needs no sign-up. The week stays in this browser, so it's still here when you come back on the same device.

How does the shopping list work?

When you add one of our recipes, its ingredients go on the list for the batch you picked, and the same ingredient in two recipes is added up — in grams and millilitres, the way shops sell it.

Can I plan the week in the Mixova app?

Not yet. Mixova is a recipe notebook app for Android, and we're deciding whether to add meal planning — leave your email above if you'd use it.
