Dear users! I am glad to announce the release of a new version of EasyMenu 2.0. In the new version we have added many new features, hopefully useful for you.

EasyMenu is an application which plans weekly menus and generates shopping lists. The menu planner allows to plan your menu for a week in detail, or generate a random balanced menu, or anything in between! This saves a lot of time, money and effort.

If you are already using the full version of EasyMenu 1.5 the update is free.

You can download EasyMenu 2.0 here.

Main features of EasyMenu are:

  • Cookbook with your favorite recipes
  • New recipes are easy to add and edit
  • Menu can be generated randomly or edited manually
  • Your recipes as well as user’s profile are stored on the server and are therefore accessible from any computer. You only have to log in
  • Only marked recipes from the recipes’ list are included in the generated menu
  • Ready menu, Shopping list, Summary as well as the description of all menu's recipes can be printed and shared
  • Shopping list for the ready menu is automatically generated
  • You can set the desired units of measurements for groceries - grams, oz or pieces for some groceries

  • Add tags to the recipes

Also in the new version:

  • Significantly improved the automatic recognition of the ingredients for each recipe

  • All ingredients are linked to the USDA SR24 for correct calorie and nutrition count
