10 Best Recipe Apps to Cook Amazing Food!
How many times have you scribbled down a recipe on a Post-it note and lost it after the first time you cooked it? You may have also tried saving all the ingredients in your phone, but never saw it again after an avalanche of other reminders buried it. Fortunately, there are hundreds of cooking-related apps available for both iPhone and Android users. There isn’t a one size fits all best recipe app since each one has a variety of useful features and oftentimes caters to different culinary purposes – diets, baking, cooking, and more.
This list opens up the digital pantry of tech tools that will help upgrade your kitchen game.
1. Gordon Ramsay Cook With Me
The popular chef and restauranteur’s app is almost a decade old, but one of the most popular for a reason. Recipes in this app include high-resolution pictures, images, and instructions to help you become a cook like you’re trained by Gordon (without all the yelling!).
You can filter by seasonality, recipe difficulty, taste, and ingredients.
2. BigOven
The Big Oven app’s claim to fame is that it contains more than 500,000 recipes in an arsenal of culinary concoctions. It’s more than just your typical cooking app that provides some basic recipes (or 500,000) because it includes tools that help assist you in shopping and planning your weekly meals around the ingredients of your choice.
It’s been featured in numerous highly publicized outlets like Martha Stewart Living.
3. Food Network in the Kitchen
The third food app in our list offers another angle on what an app can provide and since this one is made by the Food Network it includes some cool features like the ability to take a cooking class, stream your favorite cooking TV shows, and even follow your favorite celebrity chefs from the channel.
It puts a fresh spin on the cooking app experience and contains enough recipes to keep you fed for…the rest of human history!
4. Tasty
One of the most downloaded food apps in any app store because of its functionality and ease of use. While it lacks some of the fun features of other apps, it makes up for it with features that really matter if your goal is to improve your cooking with an app – step-by-step instructions, meal planning, timing meals throughout the week or during the day, and integrating everything within your social media channels.
5. Yummly
With a catchy name that screams Silicon Valley, you can be sure that this app is worth the download because it’s valued at an outstanding $100M! Yummly combines the classic recipe app and mixes it with a shopping assistant so you can better coordinate your shopping experience and match it with the meals that you intend to cook. On top of that, you can take it one step further within the app and order delivery food without having to swap apps or even go to the store yourself.
