Good to know

What is the 1-minute meal planner?

Two quick questions — what you usually keep in your kitchen and what you avoid — and Otterli picks a starter week of dinners from real vegan recipes, with one grocery list for all of them. You can swap any dinner or add your own.

Is the meal planner free?

Building your starter week is free and needs no sign-up. Keeping it, copying the grocery list and printing the week come with Core membership: 14 days free, then $39 a year. Searching recipes stays free either way.

How does this recipe finder work?

Most recipe sites work backwards from what you're willing to buy. This one works forwards from what's already in your kitchen, so the ingredients you're trying to use up decide the search instead of a cuisine, a diet label, or a cook time. Type in a few ingredients you have on hand — a lonely can of chickpeas or a full pantry shelf both work, with nothing to sign up for. Every vegan and plant-based recipe in the catalogue is matched against your list and ranked by how many of your ingredients it actually uses. Open a recipe, see what's still missing, and decide whether it's worth a trip to the store or better saved for a night when you've got everything already.

What is a recipe finder?

A recipe finder is a search tool that matches recipes to ingredients you specify, rather than making you browse by dish name or cuisine. Otterli's recipe finder is built specifically for vegan and plant-based cooking, pulling from creators across the web instead of a single publisher's back catalogue.

How does ingredient-based recipe search work?

Add the ingredients you have, and each recipe gets a match score based on how many of your ingredients it actually calls for. Recipes with the fewest missing ingredients rank first, so you can see at a glance what's cookable right now versus what needs a grocery run — and you can narrow further by meal type or allergens you want to exclude.

Is Otterli's recipe finder free?

Yes — searching, filtering, and browsing recipes are free, with no sign-up required.

What does Pot Luck do?

Feeling stuck for ideas? Pot Luck picks one recipe for you from whatever matches your current ingredients and filters, so you don't have to scroll through results yourself. Didn't land right? Hit "Pick again" for another draw — it works even with no ingredients added yet, if you just want a surprise.

Can I exclude allergens or pick a meal type?

Yes — the filters above the results let you rule out common allergens (nuts, soy, gluten, and more) and narrow to a meal type like breakfast, dinner, or dessert, and both combine with your ingredient list rather than replacing it.
