Stop searching. Start cooking for your people.
mesa is the meal planning app that learns who you actually cook for — and works for tables of every size, from one to ten. Every allergy, preference, and schedule shapes every recipe you see.
Built for your household, not an algorithm.
Tell mesa about everyone at your table — Maya's dairy allergy, Daniel's vegetarian Tuesdays, the kid in a beige food phase, the partner traveling Thursday. Every recipe gets filtered, scaled, and customized. Cooking for two tonight and ten on Sunday? Same library, every dish portioned automatically.
A week of dinners in five minutes.
Tap Plan My Week and mesa ai drafts a full schedule based on who's home, what's in your cookbook, and what you've been eating. Pin the nights you already know, reuse a past week that worked, or hand everything to mesa. Every card tells you why it was picked.
A sous chef in your pocket.
Ask mesa ai for a weeknight dinner, a date-night main, or something to use up the chicken. Modify any recipe — gluten-free it, swap the protein, scale it down — and mesa rewrites it in seconds.
A kitchen that learns your taste.
mesa builds a household taste profile across six dimensions — spice, umami, sweetness, richness, freshness, adventure — from the meals you've cooked. Each person gets their own profile too, so when it's just the kids home Tuesday, mesa ai suggests something they'll actually eat.
Hands-free in the kitchen.
Cooking mode turns any recipe into a guided experience: big readable type, per-step ingredient checklists, multi-phase timers that announce out loud, and hints for what to prep while the rice cooks. Say "Hey Siri, next step" — your phone stays on the counter.
Bring every recipe with you.
Grandma's handwritten card. The cookbook PDF you've been emailing yourself. The screenshot of that brunch dish from Instagram. mesa imports them all — word for word — and gives every one the same cooking-mode treatment as a fresh AI recipe.
Everyone on the same page.
Recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists sync instantly across every device and everyone you share your household with. Add bell peppers at the store and watch them disappear when your partner checks them off. Propose tomorrow's dinner and get a thumbs-up before you start cooking.
Subscription details
Monthly ($4.99) or annual ($49.99). One subscription covers your entire household — no per-person fees.

It sounds cliche, but trust me: Mesa recipes is the best app I’ve downloaded in a very long time. It completely changed my relationship with cooking, in a way I never thought possible. Now it feels enjoyable and worth it. No other app is dialed in to what people ACTUALLY want, the way this app is. Every Mesa generated recipe has fit all of my household’s needs, down to every detail, and tasted remarkably good (truly, 100% of them). I’ve even used this for a few dinner parties now. The personalized meal planning feature is especially a game changer. And the icing on the cake for me: seamlessly importing all of my mom’s handwritten recipes!If you’ve ever found yourself saying “Ugh I don’t have an air fryer…” or “That definitely did not take 25 minutes” or “My healthy meals don’t really have flavor…” then this is for you.
BEST APP EVER
ShoB95
As a busy mom of 2 under 3 it can sometimes be a struggle to figure out meals. This is app changed that I can just put in what I already have and ta da I have a recipe without taking a trip to the store.
This is the update that makes every recipe yours.
Make any recipe yours.
Recipes now can adapt to you. Even after making your recipes, you will be able to swap proteins and change up whether you want brown rice or quinoa or no rice.
Plan My Week, now instant.
We've updated it to work even faster so you can plan your whole week without interrupting your busy schedule.
A kitchen worth browsing.
Discover is now the mesa kitchen — one branded place to explore, with a personalized trio and editorial collections that change through the week. New "Cook with what you have" lets you search by the ingredients already in your fridge.
Allergies and foods to avoid, together.
We are introducing the ability to tell us which foods you avoid in general so that we can provide you with even better recipes for your table.
More you'll notice:
• Day Combos (BETA): cook multiple dishes on the same night on one interleaved timeline, make-ahead and preheat aware
• Feedback history on every recipe with an at-a-glance thumbs tally
• Make-ahead "Plan ahead" callouts and clearer total-versus-active times
• Volume-to-grams toggle for baking
• iPad now matches iPhone for cookbook, groceries, and meal plan — plus pull-to-refresh and right-click menus
• Smarter recipe import from links, text, and photos
• Differentiate the version of a recipe for today vs the one in your cookbook (because who wants a recipe for 12 when you're cooking for 2?)
Under the hood.
A major reliability pass on household sync: faster recovery after a reinstall, cleaner handling when someone leaves or hands off a household, and far fewer stuck states. A bunch of changes to make your subscription go farther. Plus subscription reliability fixes and dozens of smaller polish items across the app.
Thank you for cooking with mesa.
