FivePlates app users receive a list of five meals with recipes using whole ingredients that take an hour or less to prepare.
FivePlates makes decisions on what to cook.
Melissa Ashcraft, a marketing executive for an Oregon technology company, wanted a technological solution to her weekly meal planning dilemma. Her complaint was that most meal planning apps required users to choose what meals to cook each week. Ashcraft wanted that decision made for her. So she designed a US$2.99 iPhone app called FivePlates, which will be available in early October. Each week, users receive a list of five meals with recipes using whole ingredients that take an hour or less to prepare. Users can swap out one recipe for another if a family member won’t eat fish or despises olives. The shopping list can be edited based what the user has on hand. More information at fiveplates.com.
