Restaurant-level dinners. For your whole table.

Restaurant-level means a proper pan sauce, a good sear and seasoning that brings a dish together. The recipes fit your equipment, skill level and available time. Beginners get fewer components and more guidance. Cook Mode walks you through one step at a time with timers, and the chef's notes explain why each step matters. Save the more ambitious dishes for nights when you have room.

The menu starts with their tastes, diets and dislikes. Split Plates gives each person their own finish on a shared dish: mild for the seven-year-old, extra heat for the chili lover, no mushrooms for the one who'd rather not. Rate dinner thumbs-up or thumbs-down for your table. A thumbs-down recipe is never served again, and on Plus and Pro next week leans into what landed.

No — that's what Split Plates is for. You cook one dish with a shared base and finish each plate differently: Cajun chicken for one, blackened mushrooms for the other. Follow the recipe's cooking order and pan instructions for each version. One list, one shared base.

Allergies are hard rules, not preferences. Mark one strict and we keep the allergen and its common hidden sources off everyone's plate that night, along with products that often carry “may contain” warnings, and every recipe is checked against every diner before you see it. Those checks are on every plan, including Free. Products change, so read the label of every packaged ingredient, and follow your allergist's advice for severe allergies. Always verify labels — AI can make mistakes.

Choose the nights you want to cook and the time you're willing to spend. Keep the other nights free for leftovers, eating out or whatever life needs. You do the cooking; Gastroque handles the decisions and preparation plan. Recipes show active and total time up front, so you can see where the work goes. On Plus, Bonus prep and an optional Prep Day group useful tasks ahead of busy nights, with storage instructions for what you've prepared.

The plan can change with your week. On Plus, next week's menu is drafted for you every Friday. A quick Pantry Check-in (about 30 seconds) keeps the list honest. Late meeting? Skip a night, move a dinner or swap a dish, and the plan re-flows. Keep the meals you want and adjust the rest.

Gastroque acts as your kitchen manager: it keeps your household's tastes, schedule and cooking plan together. Every plate is checked against each diner's diet and allergies before you see it, the recipes become one shopping list minus your pantry, Thursday's onion is scheduled into Monday's prep, and your ratings shape the next menu. Always verify labels — AI can make mistakes.
