Why Tova

Pantry-aware. Allergy-aware. Budget-honest.

Three things no other planner does together — and the reason Tuesday at 17:45 stops being the hardest moment of your day.

Pantry-first planning

Tova starts from what's already in the house. Ingredients you own come straight off the shopping list — so you stop paying twice for things already in the cupboard.

Picky-eater & allergy profiles

Set each family member's allergies, intolerances and won't-eats once. Tova flags recipes that clash with a profile and suggests swaps while you plan — so one shared dinner stays the goal. Always check labels yourself, and never rely on Tova for a severe allergy.

Aisle-organized grocery list

One list, sorted the way your store is laid out, with quantities scaled to your household and a running price estimate — so the weekly shop is one lap, not three.

A week with Tova

Two minutes on Sunday. Calm dinners all week.

Plan once, shop once, and cook from a list that already knows your family. This is what the week feels like.

The weekly plan

A week of meals, sorted in two minutes.

Tell Tova who's eating, what they can't have, and what you want to spend. It plans breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole week — balanced across the days, priced per day, and easy to re-plan when life happens.

  • 21 meals planned around your actual week
  • Per-day cost so the budget never surprises you
  • One-tap re-plan when plans change
Tova weekly plan: 21 meals, 5 at the table, €82 budget, day-by-day costs
Tova shopping list: aisle-sorted, €61.20 of €85 estimated at Albert Heijn, Aldi €9.79 cheaper
The shop

One list. One lap of the store.

Your list is grouped by aisle with quantities for your household size and a live price estimate. Tova even tells you when the same basket is cheaper at the store down the road.

  • Aisle-by-aisle order for your store
  • Running total against your weekly budget
  • Store comparison: same basket, real difference
Family profiles

One dinner the whole table can share.

Give every family member a profile with allergies, intolerances and won't-eats. Tova uses those profiles to flag recipes that clash and to suggest swaps while you plan — so one shared dinner stays the goal. Always check product labels yourself, and never rely on Tova for a severe allergy.

  • Per-member allergies and won't-eats
  • Suggested swaps while you plan
  • Clear flags on recipes that clash

    What's for dinner

    Food your family will actually finish.

    Generous, proper home cooking — lasagne on a Wednesday, a Sunday roast whose leftovers are already planned into Monday — and the week still fits the budget.

    A family kitchen at 18:00: half a red pepper and a block of halloumi on the counter, a school bag on a chair
    Built for real weeks

    Made for the 18:00 Tuesday, not the Sunday photoshoot

    Half a pepper, a block of halloumi and three hungry people. Tova plans around what's already in your kitchen — so the answer to "what's for dinner" is decided before anyone asks.

    Questions, answered plainly

    What parents ask us first

    How does Tova eliminate family dinner planning stress?

    Tova checks your kitchen pantry inventory first, takes in dietary requirements like allergies and picky-eater preferences, and generates a full-week family dinner schedule with aisle-sorted European grocery lists in under two minutes — so the 18:00 "what's for dinner" panic never happens.

    Does Tova handle food allergies and intolerances?

    Each family member gets a profile with allergies, intolerances and won't-eats, and Tova flags recipes that clash and suggests swaps while you plan. Treat it as a first pass, not a guarantee: always check product labels yourself, and never rely on Tova for a severe allergy.

    How much money does meal planning save a family?

    Households that plan a full week and shop once typically waste less food and skip fewer takeaways. The average four-person household throws away about £1,000 (≈€1,150) of edible food a year (WRAP, 2026) — pantry-first planning attacks exactly that waste, and Tova also removes ingredients you already own from the list and tracks spend against a weekly budget.

    Is Tova free to try?

    Yes — every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial with full access and no credit card required, and the Free plan stays free forever with one weekly plan at a time. Family is €4.99 a month (€49.99 a year); Pro is €9.99 a month (€99.99 a year).

    Two minutes from now, your week is sorted.
