How it works

Create your profile and tell us your preferences

Tell us about your food preferences, foods you dislike and any food allergies. Complete your profile with the information needed to estimate your daily nutritional needs, including energy, macronutrients and micronutrients.

This information helps My Perfect Meal recommend recipes tailored to your profile. We are continuing to develop personalisation and, in the future, we aim to let you specify your health and well-being goals too.

Discover how each recipe fits your nutritional needs

Each recipe is assessed based on its nutritional composition and the needs estimated from your profile. This means the assessment goes beyond calories: it also considers macronutrients and micronutrients.

On each recipe page, you will find a nutritional rating that helps you understand how well the recipe meets your needs and make more informed choices.

Explore recipes and find the flavours you enjoy most

Explore recipes from different cuisines around the world and discover new flavours. Use the search, filters and sorting options to find recipes that match what you are looking for.

You can filter by nutritional rating, difficulty or diet type. Check the ingredients and nutritional information for each recipe and choose the ones you like best.

Plan your meals for the week

Organise your lunches and dinners for the week in one place. Choose the recipes you like best and add them to your weekly plan, assigning them to days and mealtimes. This makes it easier to decide what to cook and prepare for the week ahead.

This feature is evolving: in the future, we aim to offer meal plans suggested by the platform, which you will be able to adapt to your preferences.

Get ready to shop with an ingredient list

Create a shopping list from your weekly plan or saved recipes. Ingredients and quantities are organised by category, making the list easy to browse and helping you prepare for your shopping.

Before heading out, check what you already have at home and use the list to buy what is missing. This makes it easier to organise your shopping and avoid buying ingredients you do not need.

Prepare your recipes and savour every meal

With your ingredients ready, follow each recipe’s instructions and enjoy the pleasure of cooking. Try new flavours and savour your meals, on your own or in good company.

Afterwards, rate the recipes you have tried and share your opinion. Explore our articles too, to learn more about food and nutrition and find inspiration for your next choices.

Understand your nutritional needs and discover where to find each nutrient

Check the reference values for your daily nutritional needs, including energy, macronutrients, vitamins and minerals. These values are indicative and take your age and gender into account, based on international reference tables.

Explore the foods with the highest content of each nutrient. Choose the nutrients you want to compare and filter by food category to discover different food sources and make more informed choices.
