## What is Chef Notebook?

Chef Notebook is a recipe keeper and cooking app for saving, importing, editing, scaling, and cooking the recipes you actually make.

  FREE ACCESS
  Browse saved recipes and export your full recipe library at any time as portable JSON-LD. Your recipes stay yours, even if you do not subscribe.

  CHEF NOTEBOOK PRO
  Unlock recipe import, editing, version history, smart scaling, Cook Mode, iCloud sync, printing, and formatted recipe sharing with Chef Notebook Pro.

  SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE
  Snap a photo of a magazine page, paste a recipe link, or start from scratch. Chef Notebook turns your source into a clean, structured recipe with ingredients, steps, notes, and photos.

  BUILD YOUR PERSONAL COOKBOOK
  Edit ingredients, rewrite steps, add notes, save variations, and keep a version history of what worked. Roll back to an earlier version any time.

  SCALE RECIPES PRACTICALLY
  Scale a recipe for two, six, or a crowd. Chef Notebook adjusts ingredients and timing with practical cooking logic for salt, leavening, eggs, and pan sizes.

  COOK WITH LESS FRICTION
  Cook Mode keeps your screen awake and walks you through one step at a time. Built-in timers are ready when you need them, and Siri can advance to the next step hands-free.

  ORGANIZE YOUR KITCHEN
  Group recipes into collections, add tags, search your whole library, and archive recipes you do not make often.

  SYNC ACROSS DEVICES
  Recipes sync with your private iCloud and follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One subscription unlocks every device.

  PRINT AND SHARE
  Print recipes on standard paper or 4x6 index cards. Share a recipe as a formatted image when you want to send it to someone else.

  PRICING
  Try Chef Notebook free for 7 days with the yearly plan. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available. See the app for current pricing.

  Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage subscriptions in your Apple account settings.
