Before you start cooking
Do I need my own recipes to start?
No. You can start from the ready-made dish catalog by the Amamable Chefs — real authors with a trust badge. A dish becomes your recipe when you like it or add it to the plan. You add your own recipes at your own pace, and the plan starts using them straight away.
Is the app free?
Yes. Meal planning, shopping lists, the calendar and the allergen filter are free with no time limit. Every account also gets 10 free AI calls (recipe import or a quick photo inventory). Premium is what makes them unlimited, lets you run the shopping agent and lets you set up your own family — joining someone else's family is free. Every new account also gets a 7-day premium trial, once per account, no card required — if you don't pick a plan, it simply turns off and you're back on the free version.
How does the allergen filter work?
You tick the allergens once, in your profile. The plan generator rejects every recipe that contains them — hard, not “where possible”. In a family the allergens of all members add up, so the plan avoids anything that anyone at the table cannot eat.
Does Amamable use artificial intelligence?
Not for planning. The menu and the shopping list come out of deterministic algorithms, so the same user and the same date always give the same result. A language model only helps outside the plan: transcribing recipes from Instagram, websites and photos, recognising products in a fridge photo and in the shopping agent — and it never sets allergens.
How does the family account work?
The person with premium creates the family and gets a code. The others join with that code and use it for free — together, up to 6 people, you share recipes, the meal plan and shopping lists, and members can edit each other's recipes.
How does cooking mode work?
Open a recipe with steps and tap “Start cooking”. The phone shows one step at a time in big type, a timer read from the step text (“fry for 10 minutes” becomes a button) and the ingredients that step needs, scaled to your servings. The screen stays awake while you cook.
How does the shopping agent work?
It's a premium feature in the phone app. On your shopping list you tap the cart icon and pick a store — Frisco in Poland, Knuspr in Germany, Carrefour in France, Freshful in Romania. The agent works in your own store account, adds the products from your list to the cart and ticks off on the list what it added. Signing in, checking the cart, ordering and paying is always up to you — the agent never enters passwords, your address or payment details. With Premium you get 50 items a month.
Does the fridge photo store what I have at home?
No. Quick inventory only recognises whether a product is there — never how much — and remembers nothing. From the result you can see recipes with those ingredients or tick off on your shopping list what you already have; how much is enough is your call.
Can I delete my account and data?
