Because food is hard, and you're busy.

FoodIsHard is a small, free meal planner for vegetarian households in the UK. It plans a week of dinners, gives simple step-by-step recipes (with optional baby-friendly portions), and builds a shared shopping list split by supermarket.

What it does

Plans your week. Seven vegetarian dinners picked to suit your household, with an easy way to swap, skip or have leftovers.
Simple recipes. Every step says which pan, what heat, how long and what "done" looks like, written for beginners.
Little ones included. If you have a baby or toddler, recipes show when to take their portion out before salt or spice goes in.
One shopping list. Shared with everyone in your household, sorted by aisle and supermarket, with estimated prices.
Allergy-aware. Record the allergies in your household and the planner steers clear of recipes that contain them.

A personal, not-for-profit project, not a company. FoodIsHard has no adverts, doesn't sell or share your data, and is run by one person in the UK for friends and family. It's invite-only: there's no public sign-up, and you can only use it if you've been invited.
