Dinner plans that start from the fridge
Plan up to a fortnight of dinners. Heilsa ranks the choices by what needs using and what you already have, and leaves the deciding to you.
Suggestions
Ranked by what you have, and what you have least time to use.
- Fourteen days ahead, and nothing filled in for you.
- Suggestions lead with dinners that use food about to go off.
- Allergens and foods someone would rather not eat are left out; a dinner off someone’s diet says so.
- Cook for eight and plan the rest as leftovers, or freeze them for another week.
- The evening before a dinner from the freezer, Heilsa reminds you to take it out.
Ranked, never pre-filled
Tap a day and Heilsa orders the candidates: leftovers first, then dinners that use the food closest to its date, then what the household tends to pick, leaning towards the goals you chose. Each says why, in a line: “You have everything for it.” “Only missing curry powder.” A dinner already in the week sinks to the bottom.
Who is eating, and how much
Every dinner knows who is at the table, including kids and guests without the app, and scales its ingredients to the plates. Cook now opens the method with amounts for tonight. Dinner’s done asks who ate and what was used up, and turns anything left into a pot that keeps two days.
Batch cooking, accounted for
Cook for eight plates and Heilsa plans the six for later: leftovers for the next nights, or into the freezer. A frozen night says Taken out when it comes back to the fridge, and the evening before, a notification says what to take out.
