What are we
making?

A new recipe for the library, a dinner party that needs a menu, or a whole week of dinners. Pick a door and Gusto will meet you on the other side.

Not sure? Pick the closest one — nothing is locked in. You can save a recipe to your library mid-party-planning, or promote a Tuesday dinner into a Saturday supper. It's all the same kitchen.

Add a recipe.

A clean entry for the library — fork it from someone else, pluck it off the internet, or scribble one in yourself. You can edit any of it later.

Forking Cacio e Pepe by Sofia? Once it's yours, you can edit it freely — and Sofia still gets the credit on the original. Seems only fair.

I cleaned up the SEO blah-blah at the top — "This recipe came to me on a beach in Positano…" — and just kept the cooking. You can read the original any time from the recipe page.

Lean on the counter. He'll ask the right questions and assemble the menu as you go. Skip anything you're not sure about.

Plan the week.

A short questionnaire, then Gusto fills in the gaps. You can drag, swap, or rebuild any night once we're inside.

i.

Which week are we planning? Mon → Sun, by default. You can shift it.

Mon May 4 → Sun May 10

ii.

How many at the table? Adults, kids — Gusto scales the recipes either way.

Adults

Kids

iii.

How many nights? The rest are leftovers, takeout, or your problem. Gusto's not judging.

5 nights to plan. Tap to toggle.

iv.

Anything off the menu? House-wide. Per-night specials are easier to handle in the plan itself.

No pork No mushrooms (Maya) Vegetarian Mondays Pescatarian Gluten-free Dairy-free Low-sodium + add a rule

v.

What's in the fridge? Half a cabbage. A leftover lemon. Things that should get eaten before they don't.

half a cabbage ✕ 4 eggs ✕ leftover roast chicken ✕

G

I see roast chicken bones in here. Stock on Sunday? It's a free dinner — and your soup will be better than anything I could buy.

vi.

Anything we just had? Gusto checks against last week so you don't get pasta-pasta-pasta.

Don't repeat last week No pasta this week No chicken Mix cuisines

Last week was: lasagna · stir-fry · tacos · sheet-pan salmon · risotto · burgers · roast chicken.

vii.

A budget, while we're at it? Optional. Gusto will pick cuts & produce to land near it.

For groceries · 5 nights · family of 4. Aspirational, not a contract.
