I only checked it from the client side (the /sample link, no signup needed), but that alone told me a lot. the day totals actually add up against a target instead of just listing kcal per meal, the recipe steps have a real photo and method, and switching templates changes the whole visual identity, not just a color. that's the part coaches would actually pay for, since the deliverable is what a client judges the coach on. the maker's own comment admits the recipe-import match rate hasn't been tested on real coaches' messy inputs yet, which is an honest thing to flag rather than bury, and matches what I'd expect: parsing a photo of a handwritten recipe card is a much harder problem than a clean link.
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Suraj, a developer, and I built Peas and Pans.
Why I built it: I looked at what coaches use to write meal plans. The established tools are well funded and have been around for years, and the day-to-day experience still feels dated: slow pages, per-client pricing, plans that come out looking like spreadsheets. I build software for a living, so I built the tool I thought should exist, with the coach's everyday experience first.
What is live today:
Import a recipe from a link, a photo, a PDF or pasted text. Every ingredient is matched to USDA FoodData Central, and anything uncertain is flagged for you.
Drag meals into a client's week. The day's totals update against that client's calorie and macro targets as you build. One press fills every empty slot from your recipes and the library.
Global search across your recipes and the library, a foods bank with every USDA FoodData Central entry and its household measures, 450 checked recipes, grocery lists.
Send it as a private link and a PDF with your logo, name and colour on it, not ours. Six templates. No account needed on the client's side.
One plan, no tiers: USD 29 a month covers every feature and as many clients and plans as you have. No per-client fees, nothing to unlock, nothing to count. 7 days free with no card.
Start here, no sign-up: https://peasandpans.com/sample. That is what a client receives.
One honest gap: I have not measured the import's match rate on real coaches' recipes yet, only on my own tests. If you are a coach, what would you need to see before you trusted a plan's totals? I am here all day and will answer everything.
Update: the trial is now 14 days, still with no card. UK, Canadian and Australian food tables are in beside USDA, so a plan can use the foods your clients buy.
the flat $29 with no per-client fee is the detail that'll actually matter once a coach scales past 15-20 clients, that's exactly where the per-seat competitors start to hurt. left a full review after testing the client side, the day-total tracking against a target is genuinely better than I expected from a first launch.
@galdayan Thanks for the review Dayan, that's a really valuable feedback. Yeh the unlimited clients comes with a fair use policy but I really need to take another look at this. Again thanks for the feedback will start working on this ASAP.
white label is the smart part here, coaches actually get to keep their brand 🍽️ nice one
@petrkovacik Thanks Petr, appreciate it. That was the part I cared about most. A coach spends years building a name, so the plan a client opens should carry that name and not mine. Every client page and PDF goes out with the coach's logo and colours, and Peas & Pans never shows up on them.
