Questions about this download

Do I have to start at week 1?

No. Pick any week from the contents; each week has its own overview, grocery list and recipes.

What if my family won't eat one of the dinners?

Each recipe has everyday swaps with the exact grocery-list change. Every list line is tagged with the dinner that uses it, so you can cross out a skipped dinner's items.

Will I find prep work at the last minute?

Each week's overview starts with a 'Do before you cook' box, so you see thawing or slow-cooker starts before you shop.

How many does it feed?

Every recipe serves 4. There is no list for other household sizes.
