Batch cooking lives or dies on planning. You don't want to start a four-hour prep session on Sunday and realize at hour three that you forgot to thaw the chicken. MyRecipe is a batch cooking app and meal-prep planner that lets you map out a whole week of dinners (and lunches, breakfasts, and snacks) in advance, then crunch the entire grocery list down to one trip. Scale any saved recipe up to feed eight, ten, twelve — fractions and all — and the shopping list scales with it.
The mechanics are simple: pick your prep day, drag four to seven recipes onto it, scale servings to whatever feeds your family for the week, and let MyRecipe combine duplicate ingredients across recipes. Two recipes both call for 1 cup of onion? The shopping list says 2 cups. Tag a recipe as 'freezer friendly' or 'make ahead' and find them later in seconds. Mark meals as 'cooked' as you go, so the calendar tells you exactly which container in the fridge holds Tuesday's dinner. Sunday meal prep, finally less chaotic.

FAQ
Does scaling a recipe also scale the grocery list?
Yes. Scale a recipe up or down and the auto-generated shopping list updates the ingredient quantities accordingly.
Can I tag recipes as freezer-friendly?
Yes — tags are fully custom. Many users have tags like 'freezer,' 'make ahead,' 'reheats well,' and filter by them when batch-cooking.
Is there a cooking mode for prep day?
Yes. Cooking mode keeps your screen awake, scales recipes, and gives you big-text instructions and built-in timers — perfect for prep marathons.
