Excellent recipes
I had a year off work waiting for a work permit and picked up cooking which has since become a pretty major part of my life. The recipes on this app got me excited to cook and really got my going on that journey. Since starting 2 years ago, I’ve got 5 weeks of recipes in rotation, and have started to pick up more books and collate recipes externally in Notion. There’s so many great recipes here I’m actually reaching the limit of how much variety I can handle. My previous issues were about the saving system but that was improved massively. I think the note taking feature could be better. Upvoting and photo uploads would be cool, and the grocery list could be improved to be something more like what MealLime has, but those are minor things. One sorely needed improvement is more detailed cooking times. Currently cooking time ignores prep, which makes it an almost useless number. Time stages like prep, chilling, cooking, slow cooking time etc would be helpfulShow lessUjyujjfjugg

New York Times recipe app has changed the way I search for recipes. By that I mean, it’s the only recipe resource that I need. Gone are the days of recipe book to recipe book to website to website. They have made things so effortless. If you are a big recipe hunter you will love what this app has to offer. These are not just recipes from your domestic divas that you might follow. You will find chefs from all over the world. Some you will know of and many more to discover and love. You can save a recipe on the recipe page or even from the page of recipes before you even open it. It has an option to look at recently viewed recipes which is great. Sometimes I like to take different things from several different recipes and don’t want to print them all so I go to recently viewed and just flip back and forth. I also enjoy the reviewers. Most are smart, fun and add an extra layer of learning. I have always loved to cook but didn’t realize that I could enjoy it even more but I definitely do.Show lessMybear2day
Good app, not perfect, great recipes
I started using this app when I became the primary cook in the house and realized I didn’t know how to cook many things that were suitable for a whole family rather than just a young bachelor. I find the recipe variety to be great with a good mix of simple and complicated, and a variety of cuisines to choose from. The moderated community notes are a great addition to most recipes that can help you tweak a recipe in a direction more to your taste or warn you of common pitfalls that may lie ahead.
My only gripe with this app (and it doesn’t keep this from being a five star review) is that the interface and what you can or can’t do with it sometimes leaves some things to be desired. The inability to navigate to a recipe directly from the grocery list is baffling to me. That said, improvements are continually made and it’s clear they’re made with an eye to satisfying the needs of cooks actually in the kitchen. I would be genuinely surprised if someone told me they tried this app and were disappointed enough not to keep using it.Show lessDixon: EngieIRL
