Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Dinner Spinner?

A Dinner Spinner is a feature in Lazy Sous that randomly picks what to cook for dinner. Instead of browsing through hundreds of recipes, you pick a category like pasta, curry, or salad, tap spin, and dinner is decided. Do it for each night and your whole week is planned in seconds.

How is Lazy Sous different from other meal planning apps?

Most meal planning apps are recipe databases that expect you to browse and choose. Lazy Sous decides for you. Unlike recipe managers that leave you scrolling, Lazy Sous picks dinner automatically. Unlike subscription-based planners that charge monthly, Lazy Sous is a one-time purchase you own forever. Unlike calorie-focused apps that require macro targets and setup, Lazy Sous has no calorie counting at all. And unlike most alternatives, Lazy Sous works in 86 languages with region-specific local recipes.

Does Lazy Sous work in my language?

Lazy Sous is available in 86 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, and many more. Each language includes region-specific recipes, not just translated English meals.

Is Lazy Sous free?

Yes, Lazy Sous is free to download and use. The Dinner Spinner, weekly meal planner, and smart shopping list are all free. Premium features including custom recipe creation, web import, and household sharing are available as a one-time purchase for $6.99 AUD. No subscription, no monthly fees.

What does the shopping list do?

When you plan your week with the Dinner Spinner, Lazy Sous generates a smart shopping list. Ingredients from all your meals are combined, quantities are added together, units are standardised, and everything is grouped by supermarket aisle. You can tick off items as you shop and share the list with your household.

Can I use Lazy Sous with my family?

Yes. With Premium, you can create a household and invite your partner or family members. Everyone can spin the Dinner Spinner, see the meal plan, and access the shared shopping list in real time. One Premium purchase covers your whole household.

Can I add my own recipes?

Yes. With Premium you can add custom recipes and import recipes from any website or social media. Just paste a link or share directly from your browser. Your custom recipes appear in the Dinner Spinner alongside the built-in collection.

Does Lazy Sous help me stop ordering takeaway?

That is exactly why it was built. The nightly "what do you want for dinner?" debate is the number one reason families default to Uber Eats. Lazy Sous removes the decision entirely. Spin, cook, done. Users tell us they cook more at home and spend less on delivery after using the app for a week.

How does Lazy Sous compare to meal kit services?

Meal kit delivery services cost $60-$120 per week and send pre-portioned ingredients to your door. Lazy Sous helps you plan meals from ingredients you buy at your local supermarket for a fraction of the cost. One spin, one shopping list, one trip to the shops.

What should I cook for dinner tonight?

Open Lazy Sous, pick a category that sounds good (pasta, curry, wok, salad, meat, seafood, or anything else), and spin the Dinner Spinner. Dinner is decided in under a second. If you don't like what it picks, spin again. Most people find something they're happy with in two or three spins.

How do I plan a week of meals quickly?

Spin the Dinner Spinner once for each night of the week. The whole process takes about 10 seconds. Lazy Sous saves each spin to your weekly meal plan and automatically generates a combined shopping list with everything you need, grouped by aisle.

Does Lazy Sous work in Australia?

Yes. Lazy Sous was built in Australia and works everywhere. The recipes include Australian staples alongside international cuisines. The shopping list uses metric units by default. Available on the Australian App Store and Google Play.

Is there a meal planning app that works without a subscription?

Yes. Lazy Sous is free to use with a one-time premium purchase of $6.99 AUD. No subscription, no monthly fees, no annual renewal. You pay once and own it forever. The free version includes the Dinner Spinner, weekly meal planner, and smart shopping list.

Can I use Lazy Sous for meal prep?

Yes. Plan your meals for the week with the Dinner Spinner, then use the combined shopping list to buy everything in one trip. The recipes include serving sizes and step-by-step instructions. Cook Mode keeps your screen awake while you follow the steps.

What categories can I spin for?

Lazy Sous currently offers these Dinner Spinner categories: pasta, curry, wok, salad, meat, poultry, seafood, light, veggie, and rice. Each category contains multiple recipes that rotate with every spin.

Can I import recipes from websites or social media?

Yes. With Premium, you can import recipes from any website by pasting a URL, or share directly from Instagram, TikTok, or any other app. Lazy Sous extracts the recipe and adds it to your collection so it appears in the Dinner Spinner.

Is there a dinner spinner app?

Yes. Lazy Sous is a dinner spinner app available free on iOS and Android. It picks what to cook for dinner by spinning through recipes in your chosen category. It also builds a weekly meal plan and generates a smart shopping list grouped by aisle.

How do I decide what to cook when nothing sounds good?

That is the exact problem Lazy Sous solves. Instead of scrolling through recipes or arguing about what to eat, you let the Dinner Spinner decide. Pick a broad category, spin, and commit to whatever it lands on. Removes the decision fatigue entirely.

Does Lazy Sous have vegetarian and vegan options?

Yes. The veggie category in the Dinner Spinner contains vegetarian recipes. You can also add your own vegan or vegetarian recipes and they will appear in the spinner alongside the built-in collection.

Can my partner see the meal plan?

Yes. With household sharing (Premium), your partner or family members can see the same meal plan, access the same recipes, and use the same shopping list in real time. Everyone can spin the Dinner Spinner and contribute to the plan.

Does the shopping list group items by aisle?

Yes. The smart shopping list automatically groups ingredients by supermarket aisle (fruit and veg, dairy, meat, pantry, etc.), combines quantities across recipes, and standardises units. You can tick items off as you shop.

Is Lazy Sous better than using ChatGPT for meal planning?

Lazy Sous is purpose-built for meal planning. Unlike asking an AI chatbot, you don't need to type prompts, wait for responses, or deal with inconsistent suggestions. One tap and your week is planned. The app also generates a proper shopping list, which chatbots cannot do reliably.

Does Lazy Sous work offline?

Yes. Your meal plan, recipes, and shopping list are stored locally on your device. You can plan meals, browse recipes, and check your shopping list without an internet connection. An internet connection is only needed for household sharing sync and recipe import.

How much does Lazy Sous cost?

Lazy Sous is free to download. The Dinner Spinner, meal planner, and shopping list are all free. Premium is a one-time purchase of $6.99 AUD that unlocks custom recipes, web import, and household sharing. No subscription. No monthly fees. One purchase covers your whole household.

What makes the shopping list smart?

The shopping list combines ingredients across all your planned meals. If three recipes need garlic, it adds the quantities together instead of listing it three times. It converts between units (grams, cups, tablespoons) and groups everything by supermarket aisle so you are not zigzagging the store.

Can I use Lazy Sous on Android?

Yes. Lazy Sous is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Both versions have the same features including the Dinner Spinner, meal planner, shopping list, household sharing, and recipe import.

How do I save money on groceries with Lazy Sous?

By planning your meals before you shop, you only buy what you need. The smart shopping list combines ingredients so you do not overbuy. Users report spending less on groceries because they stop impulse buying and stop defaulting to expensive takeaway when they cannot decide what to cook.

Is there a meal planning app for busy parents?

Yes. Lazy Sous was designed for exactly this. No setup, no onboarding, no calorie counting. Just spin the Dinner Spinner and your family's week is planned. The shopping list means one organised trip to the supermarket instead of daily scrambles. Household sharing means both parents can see and update the plan.

Does Cook Mode keep the screen on?

Yes. When you open a recipe in Cook Mode, your screen stays awake so you can follow the step-by-step instructions without touching your phone with messy hands. Just cook.
