How can we help?

Find answers to your Plan to Eat questions including getting started, features, and common issues.

Getting Started

Where are all the recipes?

Plan to Eat gives you the tools to collect, organize, and cook your recipes to your exact cooking preferences.

Last updated on 06 Oct, 2026

Plan to Eat doesn't come with a built-in recipe collection or predefined meal plans. It's designed to be a home for your favorite recipes, not ours. Your schedule and food preferences are yours to decide, so Plan to Eat gives you the tools to choose what you want to cook and when you want to eat it.

Building your Recipe Book

A sparse Recipe Book at the start is normal. You can fill it quickly with the recipes you already love, using a few different tools. Learn more about adding recipes to your Plan to Eat account.

Recipes to explore

If you'd like some inspiration while your collection grows, there are two sets of recipes in Plan to Eat you can browse and save to your own Recipe Book.

PTE Recipes
Several collections of recipes from past Meal Planning Challenges.

Plan to Eat Blog recipes
About 500 recipes from the Plan to Eat blog.

  • In the app: From the Cook tab, tap the My Recipes header, tap Friends, then select Plan to Eat Blog.

  • On the website: Visit the Plan to Eat Blog page.

Saving a recipe to your Recipe Book

Saving a PTE Recipe or Plan to Eat Blog recipe works the same way as saving a recipe from a Friend.

  1. Open the recipe collection (PTE Recipes or the Plan to Eat Blog).

  2. Tap the heart icon next to the recipe name.

Saved recipes are marked with a red heart icon next to the recipe name in your Recipe Book. To find one later, search for it or scroll through your Recipe Book.
