One cook day.
A freezer full of dinners.

  1. Saturday, 9:30. Shop once, with the price on it.

    Nomstash turns the plan into one shopping list, priced at the supermarket you use. You know what the cook day costs before you leave the house.

    24 portions · £1.07 a portion

    Example figures. Yours come from your own plan and your own supermarket.

  2. Sunday, midday. Three pots on.

    Every recipe is scaled to the portions you planned, so you cook exactly enough to fill the containers and nothing sits in the fridge going limp.

  3. Sunday, 4:30. Every container gets a label.

    The dish, the day it was made, the portions and a code you can scan. Twelve containers, twelve labels, and no more mystery containers at the back of the drawer.

  4. Sunday, 5:15. 24 portions in the freezer. Kettle on.

    Nomstash keeps count of every container and which is oldest, so you know what’s in there without standing at the open door.

How to plan a cook day, step by step How Nomstash works

Then, every evening, it tells you what’s next.

  • 5:30pm

    Tonight’s lentil bolognese has been in the fridge since last night. Heat it through and get the pasta on.

  • 9:00pm

    Before bed, move Wednesday’s tikka masala to the fridge. Oldest container first.

  • Forgot?

    It happens. Nomstash shows you what’s ready in 20 minutes instead.

Two Sundays.
A month of dinners.

Here’s the month after one Sunday cook day, with a second two weeks in. 19 of the 28 dinners come out of the freezer. The rest are the nights you want to cook, and one takeaway, because it’s Friday.

Nobody’s freezer looks like Instagram. Here’s ours.

We built Nomstash for our own kitchen. On Tue 13 Oct it counted 86 containers: 92 adult portions and 31 child ones. It knows which is oldest, which is why the pulled beef is top of next week’s plan.

  • Tikka masala sauce 14 adult oldest 237 days
  • Chickpea curry 13 child oldest 17 days
  • Beef bolognese 9 child oldest 4 days

24 dinners to build a cook day from.

Soup, pie, tart, curry and pasta are there too, made from whichever recipe you pick, along with 12 dishes for breakfasts, lunches, bakes, puddings and weaning. Carbonara is the one Nomstash plans for the night you cook it, because eggs and cream don’t freeze.
