Questions people ask
How do I make a meal plan with the wheel?
Set Winners to 7 in Settings and one spin gives seven different dinners at once. Then open 🕘 History and press Copy all to paste the plan into a note or a shopping app.
Can I save my family's dinner wheel?
Yes. Swap in the meals your family really eats, press 💾 Save and call it something like "Our dinners". Next Sunday it is waiting on this device, ready for the weekly plan.
Is there a wheel for eating out?
Try the what should I eat wheel: pizza, sushi, pho, burritos and other takeout favourites. Swap in the restaurants near you for a local version.
Which dinners on the wheel are vegetarian?
Tap Vegetarian for 16 meat-free dinners, from dal and chickpea curry to mushroom risotto and bean burgers. One thing to check: traditional Parmesan is made with animal rennet, so strict vegetarians swap in a vegetarian hard cheese for pesto, risotto and pasta bakes.
What is the difference between shepherd's pie and cottage pie?
The meat. Shepherd's pie is made with minced lamb, as the name hints, while cottage pie uses minced beef. Both are baked under a thick layer of mashed potato, often with grated cheese on top until golden.
What is toad in the hole?
A British classic: sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding batter, which puffs up and turns crisp around them in a very hot oven. It needs only eggs, flour, milk and sausages, and is usually served with onion gravy and green vegetables.
