The Dinner Planner: How Veloop AI understands your family

Figuring out what to have for dinner every day can be one of the biggest challenges, especially when family members have different allergies and preferences. With Veloop's AI Dinner Planner, this task is solved magically—and completely automatically.

Tailored for your family

Our dinner planner is built to understand who you are. Here is how it adapts:

1. Family Size and Portion Calculation

Forget manual conversions of recipes. In the app, you define how many people are in the household. Our AI automatically scales the ingredients in any dinner suggestion so you get exactly the right amount of food—reducing food waste and saving money.

2. Dietary Flags and Allergy Control

Through the "Dietary Flags" feature on your profile page, you can register the family's needs:

  • Allergies: Lactose intolerance, gluten allergy, nuts, etc.
  • Preferences: Vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian.

The dinner planner will never suggest dishes that violate these choices. The recipes generated are guaranteed safe for the table.

3. Inventory Awareness: What do you already have?

By analyzing your shopping habits, Veloop understands what you typically have in your cupboards. When the app suggests Taco, it might know you already have salt, pepper, and cumin, and will only add the fresh ingredients to your shopping list.

Straight from suggestion to shopping list

Everything happens seamlessly. You approve a dinner suggestion, and voilà—all missing ingredients are sorted in the correct category (e.g., Fruit & Veg, Dairy, Meat) on the family's shared shopping list, ready for the trip to the grocery store.

Ingredients

  • Ground lamb500 g
  • Harissa paste2 tbsp
  • Garlic cloves, minced3 pcs
  • Fresh mint, finely chopped0.25 cup
  • Couscous1.5 cups
  • Vegetable broth1.5 cups
  • Pomegranate seeds0.5 cup
  • Feta cheese, crumbled100 g
  • Olive oil2 tbsp
  • Salt and black pepper1 pinch

Instructions

1

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, harissa paste, minced garlic, chopped mint, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2

Take small portions of the seasoned lamb mixture and roll them between your palms to form even meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball. You should yield about 16 meatballs.

3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally so they brown beautifully on all sides and are completely cooked through.

4

While the meatballs are sizzling, bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the couscous, remove from the heat, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and let it rest for 5 minutes. Uncover and gently fluff with a fork.

5

Divide the fluffy couscous among 4 dinner plates. Top with the warm, spiced lamb meatballs and generously scatter the fresh pomegranate seeds and crumbled feta cheese over the top. Garnish with a little extra fresh mint if desired.
