About The Meal Game

A love story disguised as a meal app

The inspiration behind The Meal Game

The Story Behind the App

I love my wife.

My wife struggles with allergies, and we both struggle with determining suitable meals. People with food allergies in the Netherlands don't get the care they deserve. My wife always cooks at home, because that's the safest way.

We play the verbal meal game nearly daily with similar results. The same conversations, the same limitations, the same careful navigation around ingredients that could cause harm.

What if I could just swipe through the suggestions? What if our list of greatest food hits kept growing and no delicious dinner recipe was ever forgotten? What if I could cook these meals for her and have her feel safe, loved, and fed?

This app will never die because I use it every day.

The Meal Game isn't just another meal planning app. It's built from necessity, maintained by love, and designed for people who understand that food choices aren't always simple. Every feature, every allergen filter, every recipe suggestion comes from real experience navigating life with food allergies.

When you use The Meal Game, you're not just planning meals - you're part of a community that believes everyone deserves to feel safe, loved, and well-fed, regardless of their dietary restrictions.
