A perfect recipe that contains your allergen is useless. Take two minutes to tell Brigitte who you are: everything she suggests builds on it.
Where to set it up
When you first open it, Mealventory asks a few questions: your diet, your allergies, your kitchen appliances, what you always have at home. You can change everything later in Settings › Preferences.
What you can set
- Your diet: omnivore, flexitarian, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian.
- Restrictions: gluten-free, lactose-free, halal, kosher, low-carb, no added sugar.
- Your allergies: the common allergens in one tap, and the option to add others.
- Your appliances: oven, microwave, air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, food processor… Brigitte won’t suggest a recipe that needs an appliance you don’t have.
- What you always have at home: salt, oil, flour… so they don’t show up on your shopping list every week.
How allergies are handled
Every generated recipe is checked server-side against the allergies declared in your profile and those your household shares. A recipe that contains one is rejected before it is shown to you.
It's a safeguard, not a guarantee. Mealventory is a cooking assistant, not a doctor: always read the ingredient list and the label of the products you buy.
For a household
If you share your household, you choose, allergy by allergy, which ones to share with the other members. They then apply to the whole household’s recipes.
