Residents in Three Rivers can now access a professional meal planning service for free as part of a new partnership between Three Rivers District Council, Hertfordshire County Council, and the online platform FiveDinners.com.
The initiative provides local households with a free premium membership, normally valued at £86 per year, until April 2027. The service is designed to help families save money on grocery bills, reduce food waste, and support healthier eating habits by offering personalised weekly meal plans paired with complete shopping lists.
The platform was founded by TV chef and MasterChef 2014 semi-finalist Theo Michaels. With ten cookbooks to his name, Michaels developed the service to assist households with practical meal solutions, and his platform is currently used by more than 30,000 members across various local authorities and health organisations.
Families and individuals can choose from a variety of options, including family-friendly recipes, budget-conscious meals, and low-calorie choices to suit their specific needs. To take advantage of the offer, residents can register at FiveDinners.com/MyCommunity by entering the Hertfordshire code along with their postcode.
This programme is part of a broader effort across Hertfordshire to provide practical support to residents navigating the ongoing cost of living challenges.
