A new bot called Dinner Ideas will send you recipes regularly, provide you with suggestions based on ingredients you enter, and show you recipes for specific dishes you request, all within Messenger.

Get new recipes regularly

When the Dinner Ideas bot first opens in Messenger, you will be asked to select how often you would like to receive a new recipe. You can choose from once a day or once a week. You can also decide not to receive a recipe regularly and these settings can be changed at any time by typing in the word Menu.

You will receive about five options and can just scroll to the right to see them all. Select any recipe to open it for all of the details.
