Cooked status: mark as cooked, last cooked date, times cooked & history

Feature Request

It would be very helpful if each recipe showed when it was last cooked.
Ideally, this would include:

a specific date (e.g. “Last cooked on March 2”)

plus a relative indicator such as “3 days ago” or “2 weeks ago”

This would make it much easier to decide what to cook next and avoid repeating the same meals too often.

It would be especially useful if this information were visible directly in the recipe list and available as a sort or filter option.

The “last cooked” date could be automatically taken from the weekly meal planner when a recipe is planned.

This would reduce manual input and keep the information accurate and up to date.

Also requested by other users:

  • Manually mark a recipe as cooked and see how many times it has been cooked

  • A cooking history view showing which recipe was cooked when, sortable by date (merged from “Cooking History & Sorting”)

    Cooking History & Sorting

    I would love to see a feature that allows me to better track the meals I’ve cooked. Specifically, a filter or history view where I can see when I cooked which recipe would be very helpful.

    Additionally, having a sorting option (ascending / descending by date) would make it much easier to get an overview for example, to quickly see what I cooked recently or what I haven’t made in a while.

    This would improve meal planning and make it easier to revisit favorite dishes.

    Thank you

      Hi @Landi, currently, the method for storing it involves adding a meal to the meal planner. Would you consider this sufficient? Does cooking simply mean adding to the meal planner, or should it be based on the new cooking mode I released yesterday?

        yes adding it to the meal planner and and the date should be saved in the recipe when it was cooked the last time

          Okay, that’s already saved but not displayed. Where do you expect to use this information? In the “Add recipe to meal plan” dialog?

          What would be your ideal flow for planning the week?

            Maybe Right next to the Date when the recipe was added or next to the time right under the recipe name. Last cooked on 03.03.2026. Also a filter would be nice where I can sort it by the time when I cooked it the last time.

              Okay, good idea. I’ll keep this open to see how many people would like this option added. Thanks for your detailed explanation; it helps a lot.

                ny chance you will make it. Also a filter sort by last cooked. Something like that. On the second picture it is at the first recipe in the picture. I don’t know if it is possibly. But it could be above or under the picture as well.

    Counter for recipes, how often it has been cooked

    It would be practical to have the recipes display how often they are cooked or included in the weekly planner, and also when they were last cooked/planned.

      Oops, it's a duplicate, I didn't see the previous feature requests.
