FAQ
What is the difference from the What to Eat wheel?
The What to Eat wheel is for any meal and takeaway choices. This one starts with home-cooked dinners. Both can be edited to anything.
Does it suggest recipes?
No. It only picks from your list. The point is to make the decision, not to find recipes.
