  • Nice app support, but....

    Keep getting white out after ios update, then after I reinstalled, had a white out after the next upgrade. Contacted app support, got a lovely response, then..............nothing.

    Update: This app won’t load. I tried from the app, from the widget and it won’t load. Don’t even bother trying app support. The email contact address is no good. Too bad. When it works, it’s a lovely site and app.

    Updated update: I tried to send a complaint to their general contact address. That didn’t work. But the app itself is working after three days, just as I went to remove it. So one of my favourite apps is back. Five stars for content, minus five for contact.

  • Good but needs improvement

    This app is mostly awesome. You can browse cooking videos, look at recipes and save the ingredients to a grocery list that you can check off while you shop. It also has timers for basic foods like chicken as well as their cuts, eggs and the different times for different ways, etc., however I dislike that the only timers for most of the ingredients is for roasting in the oven. There isn’t a timer for steaming specific veggies or grill times, slow cooker times etc. it would be nice to add those details in to enjoy the apps convenience a little better. Also, there’s no way to save any of the videos for later. You have to scroll and look for them, you can’t search them in the search box either. And the search lists are very short and sometimes nonexistent. If you type in vegetarian, only one recipe comes up! There needs to be a more broad and lengthy list of recipes in general. I also wish that you could name the shopping list but that’s not a big deal. However, this app does need some major improvements for it to be amazing.

  • LOVE EPI APP ! 💕

    I’ve been using EPI for years and I cannot say enough good things about it. I’m quite skilled in the culinary arts yet I still have much to learn. I often use it to enhance my own recipes or just to confirm cook times or temps. I recommend this app to everyone I ‘talk turkey’ with, and have received many thank you bottles & dinner party invites in return.

    I use EPI for ideas, inspiration, and on many days as therapy. Gotta chop, slice and dice to relax. ENJOY it as I do and you will never be stressed. The only thing it could do better would be to send me a prep cook or sous chef!

    A five star rating is given and is truly well deserved. If you enjoy cooking you’ll love this app.

  • Yukon gold cinnamon rolls

    I am 77 and I have been making cinnamon Rolls for well over 50 years. Most of the time, they were real good. Cinnamon rolls are good. However, I will never make a different recipe than this one. They are THE BEST I have EVER made or eaten. Anyone I have shared them with agree. They are totally addictive.
    This time I did make a couple adjustments just for the sake of simplicity. Since the extremely soft, moist dough is one of the secrets of the clouds like texture, I would never change the proportions of the ingredients. This time I did put the dough in the refrigerator over night and shaped the rolls in the morning. It was much easier to handle and there were no ill effects whatsoever. I also melted the butter and brushed it on and then sprinkled on the cinnamon mixture.
    Thank you for the cinnamon roll recipe that I have been looking for for more than 50 years.

  • Excellent!

    I’ve been using this app for over a year now I think it’s been, and I find it brilliant! I used to be really lost when it came to what to cook, and this gives me so many ideas! And I love that I can sort through different categories which makes it really great if you’re trying to lose weight or eat less carbs or find vegetarian dishes! Brilliant app!

  • Nice app

    Very beautiful and easy to use app. Thanks!
  • Great recipes

    I follow the recipes closely and the stars ratings. Fantastic recipes always. Thank you.
  • Greek Potatoes

    I love these potatoes and so do my kids. The only problem is having to take them out to add stock and then again to add lemon. When I’m making a multi course family dinner, I put all the ingredients in at once and skip the 3 steps to save me having to keep my timer going.
  • Review

    Found that they have good recipes and are nit too pushy. Recipes reliable. Good mixture of types of receipts. Have been with them for a lot of time now and will be staying with them.
  • Great resource

    I really enjoy this app! I always get inspiration from the plethora of recipes and especially like that I can search by ingredient when I’m on the fence about how to use up what I have on hand. I chuckle during nearly every video and am selfishly pleased when I find out I’m not the only person who does not know how to cut an artichoke. The weekly meal ideas are awesome and the reviews on products are almost always informative. My feedback to improve would be: let me comment on the recipes after I’ve made them - sometimes they turn out less than great and I’d like epicurious and their readers to know and/or advise what went wrong. Generally I’ve been happy with this app and look forward to what’s for dinner tonight!!
