Use tool ↗About WhatDidYouHaveForDinner
WhatDidYouHaveForDinner is a personal food log. You import recipes from wherever you found them and organise them in one place, with an AI assistant helping to upload and edit them, then record every meal you eat, cooked at home or ordered out, so the history builds into a diary rather than a scattered set of bookmarks. It also carries restaurant reviews, recipe and review sharing between friends, search across meals, recipes and restaurants, and personalised meal and recipe suggestions drawn from what you have logged. Two paid tiers exist: Basic at $1.99 a month on annual billing or $2.50 monthly, and Premium at $3.49 annual or $4.00 monthly, both with a 14-day trial, though the homepage lists the same features for both. The footer credits an individual, Dan Waters; the terms page is an unfilled template that names no company or country.

Pros & cons of WhatDidYouHaveForDinner
A cheap, unfussy recipe box with a meal log attached - the interesting part is that logging restaurant meals alongside home cooking gives the suggestion engine something real to work with. It is one person's project with no company behind it, and there is no mobile app, which is awkward for a tool you are meant to open at the dinner table.
Pros
- Imports recipes from any source rather than a fixed set of partner sites
- Logs restaurant meals as well as home cooking in the same diary
- Recipe sharing between users and restaurant reviews built in
- Cheapest paid tier is under $2 a month on annual billing
- 14-day trial on paid tiers
Cons
- Web only - no iOS or Android app
- Run by an individual with no company, address or country published
- Paying monthly costs about 25% more than annual on both tiers
- The site has no separate pricing or about page; everything lives on the homepage
Best for
- People who want one place for recipes clipped from anywhere
- Keeping a long-run diary of what you actually ate
- Households looking for suggestions based on their own history
Not for
- Anyone wanting macro tracking or a nutrition database
- Users who need a native mobile app for logging on the go
Watch out: There is no dedicated pricing or about page - /pricing and /about both return 404, so the homepage is the only source for what you are buying.
