Two hours on Sunday, then 10 minutes per meal. Fourteen meat-free meals made ahead, to reheat and put together. Want a session that's already timed? 5 vegetarian dinners cooked in 1 h 50, step by step. For your own week, Popotam makes you a timed meal prep plan.
Lunch and dinner for seven days. The longer recipes land in the evenings and on weekends, and lunches stay short.

Fit this menu to my weekfree, no account, about two minutesAlready grouped by aisle, so you get through the store without doubling back.
With Popotam, you check this list off as you go and see the budget you have left.
Create my grocery listTwo sheet pans of vegetables roast for forty minutes with no babysitting, while the dal and the chili simmer on the stove. Nothing waits its turn.
Sunday's roasted vegetables become a bowl on Tuesday, a skillet on Wednesday and a tart on Saturday. One cooking session, three meals that look nothing alike.
A big batch of lentils and chickpeas covers half the week, and that's what lets you put lunches together in five minutes.
Chili and curry get better after a night in the fridge, and they freeze really well. This menu doesn't put up with meal prep, it takes advantage of it.
Put the vegetables in first: they take the longest and need nothing from you. Start the simmered dishes next, and do the dishes in the meantime.
A warm dish sealed in a container builds up condensation and doesn't keep as well. Let it cool uncovered, then close it and put it in the fridge within two hours.
Vinaigrettes, pesto and yogurt sauce in small separate jars: the lunch bowls stay crunchy until Friday.
Pick your tastes, your constraints and your budget. Popotam builds your meal plan and your grocery list, either generating it itself or with your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account.
All our menus follow the same format: 14 meals, a grocery list, an estimated budget.
No meat or fish, and filling.
Two hours on Sunday, your week's sorted.
Every ingredient used up within the week.
Meat-free for $43 a week.
The most requested format, 14 meals sized just right.
Veggies twice a day, no deprivation.
Two hours on the clock on Sunday, oven and stovetop going at the same time. On weekdays, it's ten minutes per meal on average, and five for the lunches that just need putting together.
Not in the fridge: a prepared dish keeps two days there, according to ANSES (the French food safety agency), which recommends eating it within three days. So whatever gets eaten from Wednesday on goes in the freezer on Sunday, and comes out the night before, into the fridge. The chili, the dal and the simmered legumes keep really well there.
First pick a format (number of people, budget, time you have), then lay out 14 meals, lunch and dinner over 7 days, reusing the same ingredients from one dish to the next. Finish with the grocery list grouped by aisle: that's what makes sure the week holds up.
Every menu on this site comes with one, already sorted by aisle. With Popotam, you can also generate your own from your own meals: you check it off as you go and it shows the budget you have left.
