Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a vegan meal planner that works in the UK?
Yes. Otterli is built UK-first, using metric measurements and UK ingredient names, with a US mode for readers in America. Most vegan meal planners are US-built and assume cups and American supermarkets, which makes them awkward to actually cook from in a British kitchen.
Is Otterli Meal Planning free?
Yes — The core functionality of the recipe finder, weekly meal planner and shopping list are completely free, with no account or subscription needed. You can find amazing recipes, plan a full week of vegan meals and get your shopping list in a couple of minutes.
I want to go vegan but don't know what to cook. Where do I start?
Start with one week of simple meals rather than overhauling everything at once. Use the recipe finder for delicious and simple recipes with ingredients you like. Then you can use the planner to fill a week with those meals using ingredients and flavours you'll enjoy. Then purchase the ingredients with grocery list created for you. No cooking experience or specialist ingredients required.
Are Otterli's own recipes AI-generated?
No. Every recipe on Otterli is developed, cooked, and photographed by our team in a real kitchen at home. AI can't taste anything, so it can't tell you whether a recipe actually works. Every recipe in our library has been made and tested before it reaches you.
