One week with My Tomte
Here’s what a week looks like once the tomte moves in. (Numbered, because it really does happen in this order.)
Step 1: Set up your household
Sunday morning, about 10 minutes
Add the people, their allergies, dietary rules and nutrition targets, and tell the tomte how your household cooks: bulk prep, prep ahead, ready meals or cook on the day. Connect your calendars. Rate a handful of meals so the tomte gets a feel for your taste.
Step 2: Plan the week

My Tomte fills every meal, and leaves little notes on why: “Mia eats gluten free, so it’s marked gluten free”, “Sam’s at footy, so dinner’s for three”, “olive oil instead of butter, so it suits Dad too”, “the spinach runs out Wednesday, so it’s in Tuesday’s pasta”.
Step 3: Shop
Saturday
Your list is the week minus what you’ve got, rounded to real pack sizes.
Step 4: Stock the kitchen
Snap the receipt and the fridge, freezer and pantry fill themselves in, prices and all.
Step 5: Prep on Sunday
Marinating, chopping and soaking turn into Sunday tasks, so weeknights are just cooking.
Step 6: Cook and eat
Cook a meal and the ingredients come off the shelves; leftovers go to the fridge; extras go to the freezer. Plans changed? The Now page shows what you can make, or just eat, from what’s already in the house.
Step 7: It gets better every week
Your ratings, what you actually cooked and what you skipped all shape next week’s plan, and the food diary fills itself in as you go. By week four, the tomte knows you prefer tacos to tofu.
