I'll make sure your kitchen runs smoothly — never stressful.
Think of me as your second pair of hands. Every Sunday I plan seven dinners around your week, your taste, and what's already in your fridge. You get one calm list — sorted by aisle, minus what you already have — and that's your shopping done.
When it's time to cook, I walk beside you. One step at a time, in big type, with timers that start themselves. Ask me anything mid-recipe — substitutions, timing, tips — and I'll answer. The more you cook with me, the more I learn whatyou'll actually eat next week.
Your week, filled in for you.
Tap "plan my week" and watch seven calm dinners settle into place. No decisions. No Pinterest rabbit holes.
Gaston plans.
Tell Gaston how many mouths, how much time, and what's off-limits. He builds a week that fits — not a feed to scroll.
Gaston lists.
Gaston writes your shopping list — sorted by aisle, quantities combined, minus what's already in your pantry. You just walk the shop and tap things off.
Gaston cooks — with you.
Every dinner, step by step. Timers that talk. Substitutions when you're missing something. Zero panic.
Plan. Shop. Cook.
Three moments. Zero friction. I take the planning, the second-guessing, and the “what's for dinner?” off your plate — so you just cook.
2 minutes
Tell me how many days. I'll do the rest.
Coffee in hand, you tell me how many dinners you need this week — three, five, seven, whatever fits. I build the plan around what's already in your fridge, your schedule, and what your family actually eats. No blank Pinterest board. No decision fatigue.
Don't like one? Swap it in a tap.
Not in the mood for Thursday's curry? Hit swap and I'll find a replacement that fits the same evening, budget, and ingredients you already have. Shopping list updates itself — quietly, in the background.
15 minutes, max
In and out. Only what you need — nothing more.
The list is already written, sorted by the aisles in your store, with everything you already own subtracted. Walk in, tap things off, walk out. No wandering. No impulse junk in the cart. No three bunches of parsley because you forgot the first one.
Pantry updates itself.
Tick things off as you drop them in the basket and they land in your pantry on the way out — with a sensible use-by date already on them. Next week I'll plan around what you actually have, so nothing gets forgotten at the back of the fridge.
20 – 30 minutes
No stress. The hard part is already done.
Kids are loud, the day was long, and dinner's in 30 minutes. Open Chef Gaston — the recipe is ready, the ingredients are on the counter, and I walk you through every step in big calm type. Knuckle-tap to advance with messy hands. Ask me anything mid-cook. No scrolling, no panicking, no “what was I supposed to do next?”.
I learn your taste, week by week.
Loved it? Skipped it? A quick tap and I remember. Less cilantro, more garlic, fewer Thursday curries. Every week the plan fits your family a little better — and you spend less time deciding, less time shopping, and more time at the table.
Everything you need. One place.
Weekly meal plans
Seven dinners, planned around your life — not around a content feed. Less decision fatigue, fewer takeaways.
coreShopping list, on autopilot
Written for you, sorted by the aisles in your shop, minus what's already on your shelf. Print it, or tap items off as you walk the aisles.
Calm cook mode
One step on the screen at a time. Big type. Timers that start themselves. Ask me anything mid-cook and I'll answer.
lovedSmart pantry
It fills itself as you check off the shopping list, and empties itself as you cook. I plan around what's actually there — no more three jars of capers.
Send the list on
Share the shopping list as a text message to whoever is passing the shop — already sorted by aisle, minus what you have.
Learns your taste
Love lemon? Hate eggplant? Hate rushed Tuesdays? I remember. Every week of plans fits you a little better than the last.
★★★★★One step. Then the next.
Cooking falls apart when you're reading a recipe and cooking at the same time. Cook mode gives you one step at a time, with a timer, and Gaston cheering you on.
