How Green Leaf Cooking works

A practical guide to your first week: plan dinners, shop once, track ingredients and cook your meals.

1 · Plan

Choose your dinners

Set your household numbers, portions and usual supermarket. Choose three dinners for a free weekly plan, or three to seven with Premium. Review your choices and confirm the week.

Different ideas gives you more suggestions. Optimise my week proposes a combination for you to review, using suitable recorded Stock where available.

2 · Shop

Buy what your meals need

Use the combined shopping list. Check ingredients you already have and tick purchases when you actually buy them.

Buy is the pack or amount to purchase; Need is the amount the meals use. For example, a 500 g pack may cover 250 g needed for your meals.

3 · Stock · Premium

Keep track of what is left

Finish your shop to record purchases. Add ingredients already in your kitchen, including part packs and freezer items.

Reserved amounts are allocated to planned meals, not already used. Update Stock when you use food elsewhere, and always check the real pack's dates and storage guidance.

4 · Cook

Follow the method and record the meal

Open a recipe or use Cook mode for its available method, preparation notes and timers. Edit this meal lets you change its portions and suitable ingredients.

Finish cooking records the meal and uses matching tracked Stock. If you cook without Cook mode, use Mark as cooked. Opening a recipe alone does not deduct ingredients.

Keep your cooking record accurate

When the next active week starts, remaining confirmed dinners can be recorded automatically. Choose Didn't cook for skipped dinners and review or undo an automatic record where needed. AI recipes ask you to review Stock changes separately.

Make it your household's kitchen

Premium household sharing lets invited members work with the same plan, shopping list and Stock. Keep the invite code private. Your household's Premium access depends on the owner's current membership.

Try the optional AI tools carefully

Create from Stock can suggest a recipe using the ingredients and permitted extras you select. Photo scanning suggests ingredients for you to approve. Review every generated quantity and instruction; these tools do not manage allergies or replace food-safety checks.
