You Can Now Save Your Dietary Restrictions in Yumara
We're excited to announce one of our most requested features: saved dietary restrictions. You can now set your dietary preferences once in your settings, and every recipe generated will automatically respect your needs - no more repetitive typing!
The Problem We Solved
Before this update, users had to remember to include their dietary restrictions in every single recipe prompt:
- "Make me a gluten-free pasta recipe"
- "I need a dairy-free and nut-free dessert"
- "Create a vegan keto dinner for tonight"
This was frustrating for users with multiple restrictions who found themselves typing the same requirements over and over. Even worse, forgetting to mention a restriction could result in recipes that weren't safe to eat.
How It Works Now
Set Once, Use Everywhere
- Go to Settings - Navigate to your account settings
- Select Your Restrictions - Choose from 112+ options across 6 categories
- Generate Recipes - Every recipe automatically respects your preferences
That's it! No more typing "gluten-free and dairy-free" in every prompt. Just ask for "pasta recipe" and Yumara knows exactly what you need.
