Frequently Asked Questions
How does imkitchen handle complex recipes with advance prep?
That's our superpower! When you add a recipe that needs marinating or overnight prep, imkitchen automatically schedules it on days you have time. You'll get morning reminders telling you exactly when to start prep work—so that chicken tikka masala gets marinated 4 hours before cooking time. No more avoiding recipes because of timing complexity.
Can I customize my meal plan after it's generated?
Absolutely! You can replace individual meals with alternatives from your recipe library. Just click on any meal and choose a different recipe that matches the course type.
