For families who cook
The Sunday dinner planner
Every Thursday, one complete plan for Sunday: the menu, the full recipes, a combined shopping list, and a cooking timeline that puts every dish on the table at the same moment.
Two weeks of Plus, no card. Then one free Sunday dinner a week. Or browse every plan first.
One dinner, not seven.
Not a whole-week meal planner. The one meal everybody sits down for.
Not a meal kit.
Nothing ships to your door. You shop, you cook.
Not a recipe site.
No scrolling through forty options. One decided menu.
Real plans, from real households
Not samples. These are plans Five Sharp generated and their cooks chose to publish — open any one and read the whole thing, recipes and all, before you sign up for anything.

Monsoon Saturday Paneer Supper
A bright, home-style North-Indian supper built around golden pan-seared paneer finished in a creamy tomato–cashew masala, served with cumin-scented basmati, crisp garlic-cilantro parathas, cumin potatoes, a fresh kachumber salad finished at service, a chilled mango lassi for children and an off-dry Riesling for adults.

Thai Sunday: Tamarind Duck Supper
Pan-seared duck breast finished with a bright tamarind–palm glaze, paired with fragrant coconut jasmine rice, a crisp lime-cucumber salad, gently steamed bok choy, and a sweet coconut tapioca with mango. The menu balances bold Thai sour-sweet notes with child-friendly sweetness and an off-dry Riesling to bridge flavors.

Levant Family Supper
A bright, shareable Middle Eastern supper built around charred beef kofta, balanced by herb-rich bulgur tabbouleh, creamy hummus, roasted cauliflower with tahini and a cooling garlic-yogurt — all timed so the finish-to-order kebabs and warmed pita land at the table hot and everything else holds optimally by 5:00 PM.

Northern Thai Khao Soi Supper
A soulful Khao Soi—rich coconut-curry broth, tender braised chicken thighs and springy egg noodles—served with bright cucumber relish, quick stir-fried greens, crunchy shallots and fresh mango for dessert. The menu balances comforting coconut curry with bright, pickled and toasted textures for a meal that’s lively, family-friendly and straightforward to execute for eight.

Autumn Kashmiri Lamb Supper
A fragrant Kashmiri-style lamb Rogan Josh anchors the meal with glossy, mildly spiced sauce and tender meat; cumin-scented basmati and a dry Aloo Gobi give texture and savory ballast, fresh kachumber and cooling cucumber raita provide bright contrasts, hot whole‑wheat rotis are cooked to order, and mango lassi plus an off-dry Riesling finish the table.

Mexican Sunday Mole Supper
A home-friendly mole-forward Sunday meal that pairs a roast spatchcock chicken with a gently spiced, toasted-seed mole, fluffy tomato rice, simmered black beans, tender calabacitas and warm corn tortillas—finished with a cool, kid-friendly horchata. The menu balances rich, earthy mole flavors (not citrus- or chili-led) with simple sides kids and adults both enjoy.

What arrives every Thursday
One plan. Four parts. Nothing to assemble yourself.
A decided menu
A main and its sides, chosen to go together, from a different cuisine each week. No shortlist to narrow down — the deciding is the part that was taking your Thursday.
Full recipes
Every dish written out properly: ingredients, quantities and instructions you can actually follow, sized to the number of people at your table.
One combined grocery list
Every ingredient across every dish, added together and grouped by aisle. One trip, and no surprises at the register.
A cooking timeline
Counted backwards from the hour you want to eat. Follow it forward and every dish finishes at the same moment — then you sit down.
Two minutes to set up
Tell us who’s eating: adults, kids, allergies, what nobody will touch, how much heat you like, and where you shop. Once. Every plan after that is built around that table.
Thursday the plan arrives. Sunday you cook. If a week doesn’t suit, skip it — nothing is generated and nothing is wasted.
Questions
- What is a Sunday dinner planner?
- It is a weekly plan for one meal. Every Thursday Five Sharp sends a complete Sunday dinner: the menu, full recipes for every dish, one combined shopping list grouped by aisle, and a cooking timeline counted backwards from the hour you want to eat, so everything finishes at the same moment.
- Does it plan all my meals for the week?
- No, and that is deliberate. Five Sharp plans one dinner a week — the one where everyone actually sits down together. If you want seven days of meals planned, this is not the right tool and we would rather say so now.
- Is there a shopping list?
- Yes. Every ingredient across every dish in the menu is combined into a single grocery list and grouped by aisle, so it is one trip with no surprises at the register.
- Does it handle allergies and picky eaters?
- Yes. You tell us once who is eating — adults, kids, allergies, what nobody will touch, how much heat you like, and where you shop. It takes about two minutes and every plan afterwards is built around that table.
- What does it cost?
- Every new account starts on Plus for two weeks, no card, then becomes the free plan: one Sunday dinner a week, for as long as you like. Plus is $99 a year or $12.99 a month: pick which night you cook, cook up to three dinners a week, skip or move a week, cook from 40 cuisines instead of 18, and the full plan PDF arrives in every email. Reserve is $149 a year or $19.99 a month and adds up to 10 dinners a week, single-dish swaps, and per-person preferences for a table of up to 8.
- Is there a trial?
- Yes, and it is the default. Every new account starts on Plus for 14 days with no card. When the two weeks end the account becomes the free plan, one Sunday dinner a week for as long as you like, unless you keep Plus. Nothing is charged unless you choose to.
- Can't I just ask ChatGPT for this?
- You can, and it'll write a decent plan — once. What it won't do is remember what your family ate for the last six months, rotate cuisines so weeks don't repeat, schedule every dish backward from the minute you want to sit down, or arrive in your inbox every week without being asked. Nobody re-prompts a chatbot every Thursday for six months. Five Sharp is the system that keeps doing it after the novelty wears off.
- Do I have to install an app?
- No. Five Sharp runs in your browser and the plan arrives by email. There is nothing to download and no account password — you sign in with Google or a magic link.
- Can I set this up for my parents?
- Yes, and it works well for exactly that. Set up their household once — who's eating, what they like, where they shop — and the plan simply arrives in their inbox every week, with the full PDF attached on paid plans. Nothing to install, no passwords to remember, nothing to click if they don't want to.
This Sunday, dinner is handled.
Two weeks of Plus, no card. Then one free Sunday dinner a week, for as long as you like.
