Recipes & Meal Planning

Updated
 
Nori provides a large recipe database and lets you customize your own recipes. You can also build a weekly meal plan for your family and link each meal directly to a recipe.
 

Explore and Search Recipes

Nori includes a wide range of ready-to-use recipe templates. Each recipe contains:
  • Cooking time
  • Allergens
  • Serving size and ingredients
  • Step-by-step instructions
You can browse or search for recipes based on your needs and save your favorites for later.

 

Adjust Recipes & Create Your Own

You can use any recipe immediately and adjust the serving size. When you change the number of servings, the ingredients update automatically, so you can follow the instructions without manual calculation.
Tap the Favorite icon to save any recipe for future use.

Tap Edit to customize a recipe. You can change:
  • Title
  • Photo
  • Number of servings
  • Cooking time
  • Ingredients
  • Instructions

Notes:
  • When editing a recipe, ingredient quantities do not auto-update when you change servings. You must edit and save them manually.
  • Your edited recipe is saved to My Collection.
  • Editing does not affect Nori's built-in templates.

 

Create Your Own Recipe from Scratch

To create a recipe of your own:
  1. Go to the Recipes tab.
  2. Tap Create next to My Collection.
You can edit the same fields as an existing recipe template:
  • Title
  • Photo
  • Number of servings
  • Cooking time
  • Ingredients
  • Instructions
Note: Custom recipes do not include allergens automatically.

 

Add Recipes to Meal Plan

You can add recipes to your meal plan in several ways:

  1. From the Recipes tab, open a recipe and tap Add to Meal Plan.

  2. From the Meal Plan tab, tap any meal slot and tap + Add Dishes.

  3. In the Meal Plan, you can manually search and add a recipe.  New recipes created inside Meal Plan default to 1 serving, and you can edit it later in the Recipes tab.
Notes about adding recipes through Meal Plan:
  • New recipes created inside Meal Plan default to 1 serving.
  • Editing the recipe's ingredients or instructions will sync to the meal (sync may take some time; relaunching Nori can refresh it).
  • Serving size inside the meal may still need manual adjustment.
 

Change Servings in Meal Plan

  • Open the recipe and change the serving size, then tap Add to Meal.
  • Or add the recipe first, then tap the three dots on the meal card to change servings.

 

Edit Meal Plan

Meal Plan is shown as a weekly view.
  • Tap the left or right arrow next to the date range to move between weeks.
  • Tap Today to return to the current week and highlight today's meals.

 

Use AI Chat to Create Recipes and Meal Plans

You can create a recipe and add it to your meal plan in one sentence.
Examples: "Create a salad recipe with tuna, nori, and broccoli. Serve two people and add it to tomorrow morning's meal plan."

If you need ideas, tell Nori AI what ingredients you have or take a photo of your fridge.
"I have yogurt, tuna, nori, cabbage, and some sauces. Create a recipe using these and add it to tonight's meal plan."
AI will generate a recipe and insert it into your plan automatically.

 

Import Recipes from External Sites

If you find a recipe on TikTok, Pinterest, or elsewhere, you can have AI convert it into a structured Nori recipe.
Just share or paste the link into AI Chat:
"[Video URL] Create a recipe from this video."
Nori AI will turn the content into a clean recipe with ingredients, steps, and servings.
Please note that importing may sometimes make mistakes or fail to read the source correctly, so you may need to review and edit the recipe afterward.
