This article explains how Recipes and Meal Plan work together in the Nori app.

Overview

Recipes is your family's recipe library. Meal Plan helps you decide what your family will eat on each day and meal.

Together, they can help you save recipes, organize cookbooks, plan meals, adjust servings, view nutrition when available, and add ingredients to Shopping List.

Cookbooks and Nori Collection

Cookbooks help you organize saved recipes. Nori Collection is Nori's built-in recipe library.

If you save a Nori Collection recipe, Nori creates a version for your family so you can use it in your own meal plans.

Meal Plan

Meal Plan helps you plan what your family will eat. Meals may include Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Other, depending on your settings.

In Meal Plan settings, you can choose which meal sections need to be planned. For example, you can turn Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or Other on or off, so your meal plan only shows the sections your family uses.

Add recipes from your library.
Adjust servings for a planned recipe.
Add notes when needed.
Choose which meal sections appear in your plan.
Use recently added recipes or cookbooks to plan faster.
Create a quick recipe placeholder if you know the meal name but have not filled out the full recipe yet.

Limits

A single meal can include up to 20 recipes or quick entries. If you reach the limit, remove an item before adding more.

Shopping List sync

Recipes and Meal Plan can help add ingredients to Shopping List. When you increase servings for a planned recipe, Nori may ask whether you want to add the extra ingredients to Shopping List.

If an ingredient has no quantity, or the quantity is too small to be useful, Nori may add it without showing a quantity.

Calories and the main macro categories may be visible on free accounts.
Detailed nutrition and AI nutrition insights may require Nori Plus.
Nutrition is calculated from recipe ingredients and is not edited directly.
Changing recipe ingredients or planned servings can update the nutrition totals.

Deleting a recipe

If a recipe is used in today's or a future Meal Plan, Nori may ask you to confirm before deleting it. Deleting the recipe can also remove it from related meal plans.
