For the household with strong opinions

A thumbs-down that actually stays gone.

Ban an ingredient and it disappears from every future week. Veto a dinner and it never comes back. The plan narrows toward what your table actually eats.

You already know what they won't eat. Nothing remembers it.

Every planner and every chatbot starts from zero. You re-explain the no-mushrooms rule, the one who won't touch fish, and the 25-minute limit — and then you do it again next Sunday, because none of it was stored anywhere.

How OurKitchen handles it

Banned means banned

Add an ingredient to your never-include list and it is checked against every meal in code before the week reaches you — not suggested to the AI and hoped for.

Vetoes are permanent

A 👎 removes that dinner from your rotation for good. There is no “we thought you might like it again.”

Time caps are real limits

Set the longest a weeknight dinner may take. If a week can't be filled inside your rules, it's flagged — not fudged.

It narrows as you use it

Ratings accumulate. A few weeks in, the plan looks like your household rather than a generic recipe feed.

Real output, not a mockup

Generated by the same planner that writes your week.

Questions

Can it handle a real allergy?

You can ban any ingredient and every meal is checked against your list in code. But recipes are AI-generated, so treat OurKitchen as a planning aid, not an allergen guarantee — if someone has a medical allergy, always read the ingredient list yourself before cooking.

What if only one person is picky?

Bans are household-wide, so the safest set wins. Anything one person won't eat simply stops appearing.

Can I undo a veto?

Yes — ratings live in Meal preferences and can be cleared whenever you want.

Try it on your own household.

Three questions, no account, and you'll see real dinners and the list that goes with them.
