+# Meal AI Starter (Vite + React)
+
+## Quick start
+
+1. Install dependencies
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+2. Start the mock server (this simulates your AI endpoint)
+
+```bash
+npm run start:server
+```
+
+3. In another terminal, run the frontend dev server
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+4. Open http://localhost:5173
+
+
+## Notes
+- Replace `server/index.js` with your real AI provider call (OpenAI, Anthropic, or your own) to produce `{"mealPlan":[],"groceryList":[]}` JSON output.
+- Grocery lists are saved locally to IndexedDB and visible in the Grocery pane even when offline (PWA cache required).
+- For packaging into desktop/mobile, wrap the web build with Tauri/Capacitor/Expo and ship the real server or point to your hosted AI.
+
+That's everything in the starter. Run `npm install`, `npm run start:server`, then `npm run dev` to try it locally.
