This page allows you to customise your nutritional profile.

You can update personal health and wellbeing requirements to make sure you eat right and keep yourself in super condition. Tell us about your allergies, dislikes and preferences and we'll make sure our meal recommendations meet your tastes!

This page is your personal cookdinner profile. It allows you to customise information you receive (by SMS and email) as well as changing your contact details and location. If you provide us with your country and postcode we can even show you where to find specials and discounts as well as locating your nearest stores for fresh, tasty produce!

This is your super shopping list, it shows you everything you need in order to cook the meals in your Meal Basket. It also provides hints as to where you can find specials and discounts on certain ingredients (look for the little "sale" tag next to an item).

If you already have the ingredient in your fridge or pantry just click the checkbox next to it and we'll remove it from the list. Make a mistake? Just click the "Show All" button at the top of the page to bring them back.

This page is the master access point for cookdinner, think of it as the door to a kitchen wonderland. You can view meal suggestions in two "views" - images in the "Meal Gallery" or meal names in the "Meal List".
