Plan Meals with Wen Dinner Calendars
Wen Dinner calendars help you plan what you want to eat and when you need to cook it.
Calendars and Meals
A calendar holds meals. A meal has a finish time, optional notes, and any recipes you plan to cook for that occasion.
Use calendars for:
- Weekly household meal planning
- Holiday meals and dinner parties
- Vacation or event food planning
- Separating personal, family, and shared plans
You can create more than one calendar and share calendars with other people.
Plan Around the Finish Time
Wen Dinner schedules meals by the time you want to eat. Add recipes to a meal, set the meal finish time, and use the schedule to see what needs to happen before serving.
The meal schedule can show:
- Prep steps
- Active cooking time
- Passive time such as baking, simmering, chilling, or resting
- Timers
- Step completion
- Which recipes are being coordinated together
Calendar Views
Use the calendar views to plan at different levels of detail:
- Agenda: upcoming meals and prep in chronological order
- Day: a focused view of one day
- Days: nearby days for short-term planning
- Month: a broader overview
Add and Move Recipes
From a recipe page, you can add the recipe to a calendar meal. You can also move recipes between meals or move them to another day when plans change.
If a meal is not being cooked at home, mark it as eating out. Wen Dinner will keep it on the plan without showing recipe prep, inventory, or shopping tasks for that meal.
Try Before Signing In
Visitors can preview coordinated scheduling with one temporary meal. This is a lightweight way to understand how Wen Dinner turns recipes into a cooking timeline.
To save meal plans, create calendars, share meals, use private recipes, connect inventory, or generate shopping lists, create an account and sign in.
Shared Meal Planning
Shared calendars can help households, friends, and event hosts coordinate food plans. Calendar owners can invite others and choose whether they can view or edit the calendar.
Sharing a calendar may give recipients access to recipes and related meal details on that calendar, including private recipes planned there. Review what is on a calendar before sharing it.
