Weekly meals, without the weekly headache

Your whole week of meals, worked out.

See exactly what everyone’s eating, what to prep ahead and what to cook each day. YesChef turns the plan into the right supermarket quantities, ready for one final review.

One week, already mapped out

Stop solving dinner seven times a week.

A list of meal ideas still leaves you to make them fit. YesChef connects the meals, prep, portions, leftovers and shop into one week you can follow.
  • Open the week and know

    See each day's meals, cooking time and next prep in one clear schedule.

  • Prep once. Eat twice.

    Extra portions have a destination, with storage and reheating steps on the right day.

  • Make one plan for everyone

    Serving needs, food rules, dislikes and routines shape the same usable week.

  • Let the list write itself

    Recipe quantities become the matching supermarket shop without another round of list maths.

This is what planned looks like

See the week. Follow the prep. Get on with dinner.

Every meal sits beside the work that makes it possible—from tonight’s cooking to tomorrow’s lunch and Friday’s freezer reminder.

A weeknight pasta that makes six portions from a four-person dinner, so Tuesday's lunch is already cooked.

A week that fits the household

A plan your household can actually use.

YesChef plans around who is eating, the foods they can eat, the meals they avoid, how much time you have and how you like to shop. The result feels made for your home—not copied from someone else’s week.
4 people
Every meal in the week is cooked for 4 servings.
30 minutes on Wednesdays
Wednesday's dinner is the 25-minute halloumi couscous.
No peanuts
Checked across every meal and every matched product in the week.

Shopping that follows the plan

From this week to your trolley, without the spreadsheet in between.

Ingredients from every recipe are combined and sized for your household. Review the matched products, quantities and total, then carry on at your supermarket.

From this meal

Tomato and lentil pasta

Sample ingredients from one meal and the supermarket pack quantities that cover them
IngredientNeededSupermarket pack
Dried penneNeeded: 400 gSupermarket pack: 500 g pack ×1
Tinned chopped tomatoesNeeded: 800 gSupermarket pack: 400 g tin ×2
Dried red lentilsNeeded: 150 gSupermarket pack: 500 g pack ×1
Vegetable stockNeeded: 500 mlSupermarket pack: 8-cube pack ×1

Go from seven recipes to one shop

The same consolidation runs across the whole week. Shared ingredients are combined once, quantities are matched to the packs your supermarket sells, and the result arrives as a trolley you can read.

You stay in charge of the shop

You see the products, quantities and total before continuing to your supermarket for delivery and payment.

Control at the decisions that matter

Plans change. You do not have to start again.

Do not fancy Thursday’s meal? Change it without rebuilding the week yourself. YesChef shows what changed and lets you decide when the trolley should follow.

Was · Thursday

Butter bean and spinach traybake

4 servings · 40 mins

Now · Thursday

Roast red pepper and chickpea stew

4 servings · 35 mins

What changed

  • Butter beans are no longer needed.
  • Two red peppers and a tin of chickpeas were added.
  • Friday’s thawing reminder and every other day are unchanged.

Your trolley is not updated until you choose Update trolley.

Before you decide

Questions worth asking

What will I see in my weekly plan?

Every planned meal, a complete recipe, servings and timings, plus the prep, storage, leftover, freezing, thawing and reheating steps that make the week work.

Can it plan around our food rules and dislikes?

YesChef builds the week around the rules and preferences you set for your household. Each hard rule is checked across the plan and matched products; anything uncertain is brought to you for review.

Can I change a meal?

Yes. Replace a meal or regenerate its recipe, then review the updated week. If the trolley was already prepared, you will see the changes before choosing to update it.

How does my supermarket fit in?

YesChef turns the week's recipes into matching products and quantities at the supermarket you connect. You review the trolley, then continue at that supermarket to choose delivery and complete payment.

Will it work with items already in my trolley?

YesChef reads the existing trolley, works out what the plan still needs, and keeps its additions separate so the final review is easy to understand.

Next week does not need another planning session.

Let YesChef turn your household’s needs into a week you can see, cook and shop.

Private alpha for UK households that shop with a supermarket we support.
