Does it still work?

Crashes on iPhone 17 Pro and iPad M4 Pro on OS 27.0.1. Crashes in Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Edge. Can’t get near my Mac. Used to be really great. Online help seems useless so maybe they read their reviews. Really disappointing as I have one of them Premium Accounts. Hello???

Response from developer

Sorry for the inconvenience. Apple’s iOS 27 update led to a crash. We immediately submitted a fix, but it took a little while for the fix to appear in the App Store. All sorted now though - I trust you are back in action? You can always reach ckbk support by emailing support@ckbk.com or using the support chat on the website.

Simply the Best!

There are several things that make this site/app stand out above the others. You get a full cookbook, complete with a forward, tips, pictures and of course the full recipes. The search engine is fantastic and easy to use. You’re able to filter recipes based on the course, country of origin, dietary needs, difficulty, the era the cookbook was published, the author and the name of the book. You are able to rate and review recipes you have tried as well as add a picture.
Books are added almost daily, and are listed by almost all the filters listed for the recipes. You are all to create and save your own collections of recipes, making it easy to plan a full menu or just gather ideas and themes.
I belong to a dinner party club that meets 6 times a year. We do a five or six course dinner, alternating hosting and planning the menus, CKBK has taken my hosting gig off the charts. So many unique and interesting recipes, as well as classics that we all love to make!

Brilliant app

If you’re anything like me and enjoy flicking through recipe books for inspiration - this app is perfect, with a huge repository of cookbooks from a wide variety of cuisines.

Great app for serious cooks

Fantastic collections of recipes and cook books

CKBK is an Amazing App

Love using CKBK. I personally have over 4,000 hard copy cookbooks, gathered over 55 years. CKBK is helping downsize my collection because its collection of books is excellent!
