Share cooking responsibilities with household members.
Assign Cooks to Meals
Share the cooking load by assigning who's responsible for each meal.
How It Works
Each meal can have an assigned cook. This shows up:
- On the meal card in the planner
- In notifications/reminders
- On shared shopping lists
Assign a Cook
1
Click a meal
In the weekly planner, click on any assigned meal.
2
Select the cook
Click the cook dropdown and choose who's cooking.
3
Save
The cook's name (or color) appears on the meal card.
Cook Names & Colors
Make it easy to see who's cooking at a glance:
- Go to Settings → Household
- Set Cook Names for each person
- Assign Colors to each cook
Colors appear as a stripe on meal cards, making it instant to see the week's cooking schedule.
Default Cooks
Set default cooks for specific days:
- "Partner A always cooks Mondays"
- "Partner B handles weekends"
Go to Settings → Meal Planning → Default Cooks to set this up.
💡
Even if you live alone, you can use cook assignment to track "easy meal night" vs "cooking project night"!
