How it works
Three steps to the table
Answer a few short questions, once. From there, Cratița does the maths for you.
-
Tell us where you shop and who you cook for
Pick your store, how many of you there are, by age, and how much you want to spend each week. It takes about two minutes.
-
Get your week of meals
Breakfast, lunch and dinner, with soup at lunch and a main course in the evening, the Romanian way. Not feeling something? Swap the recipe in one tap.
-
The list is ready, by aisle
Every ingredient, added up and weighed for your household. Tick off what you already have and it drops out of the total.
When you are not in a planning mood
“What do I eat now?”
A recipe that suits the time of day and the calendar, in a single tap. And if you are curious what others are cooking, “Most cooked right now” shows the top picks for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- Free, any time
- Filter by meal and cuisine
- Time and estimated cost on every recipe

Our story
About Cratița: “What are we eating today?”
Cratița started with a question we hear in many families almost every day: “What are we eating today?”
Behind it are lots of small things that wear you down: the rushed decision after a long day, the list left at home, money slipping away unnoticed, fasting days, holidays that need planning well ahead.
So we built an app that answers for you with a whole week of meals: from the store you usually shop at, within the budget you choose, for your household, with the list ready to shop.
It is made in Romania, for Romanian cooking, with dishes from further afield too, and it follows the Orthodox calendar: fasts, Christmas, Easter, days when fasting is relaxed. It is free to download, and all recipes stay free.
Our team writes the recipes and we are testing them one by one in the kitchen. If you spot a mistake, an odd quantity or have an idea that would help you, write to us from Menu › Contact us. We read every message.
Enjoy your meal!
The Cratița team
Coming soon to iPhone and Android.
