How to Use the COOK Section of the Supermarket Swap App

Take control of your kitchen and make meal planning simple, fun, and efficient with the COOK section of the Supermarket Swap App! Whether you want to plan meals for the week, organise your favourite meals, keep track on online recipes or streamline your shopping, the COOK section is your ultimate meal-planning hub.

Plan Your Week with Ease

At the heart of the COOK section is our game-changing meal plan template. Here’s how you can use it to simplify your week:

Option 1: Add Recipes from the RECIPE Tab

Browse over 250 additive-free recipes in the Recipe tab. When you find a recipe you love:

• Click the + in the top corner of the recipe.
• A pop-up will prompt you to assign the recipe to a specific day of the week.
• The recipe will appear in your Meal Plan for that day.
• Click the arrow next to the meal on the plan to open the full recipe instantly.

Option 2: Add Your Own Meals

Type any of your planned meals directly into the template for a fully customised plan.

Option 3: List and Enter Your Favourite Meals

• Click ‘Add Meal’ at the top of the recipe page, then choose ‘Add Your Own.’ Space will appear where you can save all your go-to meal names.
• Once saved, these meals can be added to your Meal Plan with just a click of a tick!
• You can even paste links to online recipes into the Add Your Own section, give them a name, and access them easily from your Meal Plan later by pressing the arrow next to the meal.

Search and Save Recipes

Finding the perfect recipe for your taste and dietary needs is effortless with the COOK section:

• Use the search bar to look up recipes by name or keyword or main ingredient. 
• Filter recipes based on your taste preferences or dietary requirements, such as Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free or Vegan.
• Tap the heart icon on any recipe to save it to your Favourites. Access all your Favourites quickly using the Favourites toggle in the filter menu.

Integrated Shopping List

Every recipe in the COOK section comes with a list of additive free product recommendations to streamline your grocery trips:

• Click the tick next to a recipe ingredient to add it directly to your Shopping List.
• Or, click ‘Add All’ to add every ingredient from the recipe in one go.

Your complete Shopping List is stored in the app, so you’ll never forget an ingredient.

Discover Something New Every Week

We add a new recipe every Friday, so there’s always something fresh and exciting for you to try. You’ll find the newest addition highlighted on the App home page and at the top of the recipe list for easy access.
