Getting Started
Simply sign up for your free OttoChef AI account and complete the quick onboarding process. You'll be asked about your dietary preferences, family size, and any allergies. Once complete, click 'Generate Meal Plan' and our AI will create a personalized weekly plan for you at no cost.
We support a wide range of dietary restrictions including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, Mediterranean, and many others. You can specify multiple restrictions and our AI will ensure all recipes comply with your needs - all completely free.

However, actual nutritional content may vary based on specific ingredients, brands, and preparation methods. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific dietary needs.
