Frequently Asked Questions

MoodPrep is a recipe experience built around you. Instead of searching endlessly for ideas, MoodPrep creates personalized recipes based on your mood, preferences, and dietary needs. You can also add what's in your kitchen to get meals that use what you already have — but that part's optional.

When you tell MoodPrep how you're feeling — cozy, celebratory, focused, adventurous, or anything in between — we suggest recipes that fit the vibe. It's our way of making meal prep less about "what's left in the fridge" and more about what you're craving emotionally.
