Help & FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about Plan-t-Food.

Getting started

How do I create an account?

Sign up with your name, email address and a password on the registration page. We'll send you a verification email — click the link in it and you're ready to go.

Can I set my diet preferences?

Yes. Go to your account page and pick your diet type (vegan, vegetarian, …). Discover and recipe suggestions take it into account.

Recipes

How do I add a recipe?

Go to My Recipes and click "New Recipe". Add a title, ingredients with amounts, the steps and optionally a photo. Recipes are private by default — only you can see them.

What happens when I make a recipe public?

Public recipes are shared with everyone on the Discover page. To keep things friendly, a new public recipe is first reviewed by a moderator before it appears. You'll keep full access to your own recipe in the meantime.

I found a recipe that doesn’t belong here. What can I do?

Every public recipe has a "Report" option. Pick a reason and we'll take a look. Thanks for helping keep the community nice.

Week menu & shopping list

How does the week menu work?

On the Week Menu page you plan recipes onto the days of the week. You can browse your own recipes or anything you liked on Discover, and duplicate a whole week if you want to repeat it.

How is my shopping list generated?

The shopping list collects all ingredients from the recipes in your week menu, grouped by category. Changed your menu? Use the refresh action on the shopping list to bring it up to date.

Account & privacy

How do I change my password or email?

Both can be changed on your account page. Forgot your password? Use the reset link on the login page.

How do I delete my account?

At the bottom of your account page you can delete your account. Your personal data is removed permanently; see the privacy policy for details.
