Plan for who’s there
A child eating elsewhere, a friend coming for dinner? Adjust participants and portions for that meal. Your table doesn’t need to be the same size every day.
Adjust without manual maths
Half a portion, one portion or more: choose according to appetite. Ingredient quantities follow the planned amount in the recipe and shopping list.
Cook for a larger table
Add a main and a side to the same day. Each recipe keeps its portions so you can align them with what everyone will eat.

Before you start
Does a child always count as half a portion?
You choose portions according to appetite. Au Menu doesn’t set a fixed amount by age. These are practical settings, not nutritional recommendations.
How do I plan a main dish and a side?
Add several recipes to the same day. Each keeps its own portions. If the amounts differ, the planner prompts you to align them and leaves the choice to you.
Do I need a household to adjust a recipe?
No. Adjust portions in public recipes and the guest plan without an account. My family stores members and their usual portions with an account.
The right quantities for everyone.
From dinner for two to a meal with guests, keep the same recipes. Quantities are adjusted for the people present and everyone’s planned portions.
