I've been a Cook Smarts user for several years and it's been such a useful service. This app is a wonderful addition.
If, like me, you're done spending ridiculous money on repetitive meals in those mailed boxes that send you wilted ingredients, if you're baffled by those generative meal planning services that think "2 eggs, 1 1/4 slices of bread, 6 cucumbers" is a meal you'd want to serve to your family, or if you're just tired of making the same twelve things over and over, this is the service for you.
This app is a fantastic extension of the website, easily allowing you to choose to stick with the weekly menu or build your own from hundreds and hundreds of archived recipes. It builds your grocery list for you and walks you through weekend prep according to the recipes you've chosen so that you're ready to hit the ground running when Monday night rolls around and you've got to get dinner on the table. This is an excellent service for people who are interested in expanding their palate and pantry, but it's still going to be stuff that you can find in your local supermarkets.
Cannot recommend Cook Smarts enough if you want to get started with cooking, if you love cooking but hate meal planning, or if you're just looking for a service with approachable, tasty recipes that'll make life a little easier on a weeknight.
