The 6pm question

"What's for dinner?" shouldn't be a daily crisis.

Deciding, every single night. Forgetting an ingredient. The same three meals on repeat. Meal planning quietly became a part-time job you never applied for. Fork It does that job for you.

Allergen-aware by design

Built around the 14 UK allergens.

Tell Fork It which of the 14 UK-recognised allergens to avoid, and it aims to keep them out of every meal it plans — checked ingredient by ingredient, not just filtered by recipe tag. Always check product labels before you buy: recipes are a guide, and packaged foods vary.

Regional & seasonal

Cooking that knows where you live.

Most apps hand you the same generic recipes wherever you are. Fork It plans around British regional cooking and what's in season — food that actually tastes like home.

Good questions

The short answers.

What is Fork It?

Fork It is a UK meal-planning app for UK home cooks. It plans a full week of easy lunches and dinners, writes the recipes, and builds your shopping list for you — so you never have to wonder what's for dinner again. Fork It is free on Google Play in the UK.

Are the recipes easy to follow?

Yes. Every recipe is written in plain, simple steps with no cheffy jargon. They're quick to read and easy to cook on a weeknight, whatever your kitchen confidence.

How is it tailored to where I live?

Fork It builds your week around British regional and seasonal cooking — Scouse and Lancashire hotpot in England, Cullen skink and Scotch broth in Scotland, cawl and Welsh rarebit in Wales, soda bread and the Ulster fry in Northern Ireland.

Does it handle food allergies?

Fork It lets you choose any of the 14 UK-recognised allergens, and it aims to exclude them from every recipe it plans — each meal is checked ingredient by ingredient before it reaches you. Always check product labels when shopping, as packaged foods can vary between brands. For the full list of what UK labels must declare, see our guide to the 14 UK allergens.

Does it create a shopping list?

Yes. Once your week is planned, Fork It writes the full shopping list automatically, so you can shop in one trip without writing anything down.

Is it free?

Yes — Fork It is free on Google Play for Android in the UK. Paid subscriptions are planned for a future version, and early users will hear about founder pricing first.

Which allergens does Fork It cover?

All 14 allergens that UK food law requires labels to declare: celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soya, sulphites, and tree nuts. Pick the ones that matter to your household and Fork It aims to keep them out of every plan it builds — always check the label on anything you buy.

Can I set more than one allergy at once?

Yes. Real households rarely have just one thing to avoid — milk and eggs, or gluten and nuts, is normal. Set every allergen you need and Fork It plans the whole week around the full set, not one at a time.

Can I use Fork It if I'm coeliac or eating gluten-free?

Yes — select gluten and every plan aims to be built gluten-free from the start, rather than stripping things out of recipes designed around wheat. As with any allergen, check labels, especially for "may contain" warnings on packaged foods.

Is it safe to rely on Fork It for a severe allergy?

Fork It checks every recipe ingredient by ingredient with a deterministic safety scan — not just a label filter — and it aims to exclude every allergen you declare. But no app replaces reading the packet. Manufacturers change recipes, and "may contain" risks live on labels, not in ingredient lists. Treat Fork It as a planning tool that does the heavy lifting; the final check is always the label in your hand.

Do I have to add my own recipes?

No. Some meal planners only filter a recipe library you've built yourself — which means weeks of setup before they're useful. Fork It generates your plan for you from the first week, built around your allergens, tastes and number of people.

Where does the nutrition information come from?

From CoFID — the UK government's Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset, the reference data behind UK food labelling. Not estimates from a US database built around American products.

What phone do I need?

An Android phone — Fork It is free on Google Play in the UK. There's no iPhone version yet; leave your email on this page and you'll hear when that changes.
