Know what your child likes — before you cook.
Two taps after each meal: eaten, tried, refused. mangia builds your child's taste profile from that — and sorts your weekly plan around it.
30 days of taste profile free. No credit card.
Not eaten again. You plan the week and guess what will land this time — pasta? Broccoli? Chicken without sauce? Half of it ends up in the bin.
Three weeks of rating, a year of clarity.
After eating you tap what worked: pasta eaten, tomato sauce refused, chicken tried. mangia groups the ingredients into vegetables, fruit, protein and carbs and shows you per category what your child likes — and what they don't. Research says kids need to try a new ingredient around ten times before they really accept it. mangia counts every taste and surfaces planning hints like "Anna is still working on broccoli — four tries to go before it sticks". Per ingredient you see the history with trend arrows — ▲ rising, ▼ slipping. When you plan, the recipes most likely to land appear at the top. Allergies from the child profile filter recipes out completely — automatically.

Ten tries, then it sticks
Kids need around ten attempts before they like a new ingredient. mangia counts along — and tells you in the weekly plan which ingredient is close to clicking.
History with arrows
Per ingredient you see the twelve-month trend — ▲ rising, ▼ slipping. Favourites change, mangia knows.
Allergies filtered out
Nuts, lactose, gluten — entered once, never suggested again. Safety without keeping a list.
Frequently asked
From what age does this make sense?
The taste profile kicks in once your child voices preferences — usually around two years old. Before that, you can already store allergies and portion sizes.
How many ratings do I need before it works?
About fifteen rated meals are enough for the first reliable predictions. Three to four weeks of normal life will do it.
Does it work with multiple kids?
Yes. Each child has their own profile — own ratings, own allergies, own predictions. In the weekly plan you choose which child you're sorting for.
What happens to my child's ratings?
Ratings stay within your family. They only affect your recipe sorting, are not shared with other families and are not used for advertising.
What does the taste profile cost?
The first thirty days are free in every plan — no credit card needed. After that, the per-child taste profile is part of the Family plan. You can keep rating either way — when you upgrade, everything is back instantly.
Why exactly ten tries?
Studies on food acceptance in children show eight to ten repeated exposures are usually enough for a new taste to be accepted. mangia counts every taste and treats acceptance as reached at ten active attempts. Per ingredient you see where your child currently stands — and which ingredient is closest to becoming a new favourite.
