Common questions

Do I have to list everything in my kitchen?

No. Add a few ingredients you want to use. Mango shows matching ingredients and the quantities each recipe needs. Confirm the amounts on hand before building your shopping list.

Is Mango free?

Yes. You can plan up to three dinners at a time, keep your ingredients and edit your shopping list for free. No payment or account is needed.

Where is my plan saved?

Use Save my plan to keep your changes. Your plan is saved online and opened using a private cookie in this browser. It does not sync across devices. Clearing this site’s cookies removes your access to that plan.

What if tonight’s plans change?

Swap a dinner, change its date or mark it skipped. Skipping does not reduce your ingredients. When you mark a dinner cooked, Mango shows the proposed ingredient changes for you to confirm.

Can I use it for allergies?

Ingredient dislikes filter recipe names and ingredients, but they are not allergy screening. Read every ingredient and package label and make your own checks before cooking.
