Best recipe keeper around

I’ve been using cookbook for a few years now, and it’s fantastic. Easy to import recipes from both the web, social media and other cookbooks. It’s great to navigate and edit recipes with your own twist if needed. Highly recommend and definitely worth every penny!

Loving It!

This app has been awesome! I don’t mind paying for an app that’s useful. There are small things I would change, but overall it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Love this app!!!

I tried recime it sucked rarely worked without tinkering... This app is spot on. It will download recipes from video, create a shopping list, give me the ability to keep notes, make edits to personal preference, rate the recipes, and export a shopping list into another app to have groceries delivered. Can't believe how much time I spend with this.... if I like a recipe, I give it a rating... if I don't like it, I delete the recipe out of the app or give it a one star. I feel like I'm walking around with 35 cookbooks. I can show my family a recipe and ask themhow they feel about it before I cook it by email including a how to video... so worth the money!!!!

I prefer the old interface

I miss the blue colour scheme, the orange/red makes me feel like I’m reading those stressful website recipes. There is also just a lot of red everywhere, which is stressful (and cooking is stressful enough!) Secondly, I miss being able to choose between tabs (ingredients, instructions) to edit. Now that it’s all in one, it’s less user friendly.

Everyone worth knowing.

Perfect across all my apples devices! I love this app. It imports and formats recipes beautifully! Good job developers. I’m finally organized.

So much of what I liked was stripped out

I loved this app. However the recent updates are having me look for a new one. Price dramatically increased from $12/year or $60 lifetime to $39.99 per year only. The organization of the app changed and all new recipes are being shoved in my face that I don’t want. There is no longer html exports which was a feature I searched for and it was not replaced by another universal format such as JSON. They do have YAML but apparently they arrange the data ins proprietary fashion. I’m looking around for a new app after being extremely happy and raving about cookbook for two years.

Brilliant

I wouldn’t be without this cook book. It’s brilliant. So easy to save recipes. Take your own photos. Add notes. Keep track of cooking progress. Built in timers. Plan meals and so much more. You can declutter all your books into this one app and then find everything easily.

Great Organizer

I've been using Cookbook for a little over a year and this thing is amazing. No longer do I have to try to figure out where I put the recipe. I just import it into here, search for a few keywords, and I can immediately pull it up. I can rate it. I can actually rate it and then if it's not good I rate it as bad and then now I know not to cook it again because I don't know about y'all. Sometimes you see something, it looks amazing, and you cook it and it looks not good and you cook it again a year later. I don't do that anymore.

Anyway this is a great app, totally worth the money, super easy to import anything either from a good cookbook site, from Insta, or just starting to write your own recipe. The AI is great on it. Highly recommend just go ahead and buy the version

Really useful and easily used app. I have accumulated lots of delicious recipes from many sources online and also added others manually.

Très aboutie

Cette application est un vrai coup de cœur. Pouvoir l’utiliser sur iPhone iPad et aussi sur Mac, c’est un réel plus. De touts petits bugs, mais franchement rien de bloquant. Et des tonnes de possibilités et d’options.

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup Fabrice67, ça nous fait vraiment plaisir de lire ça. On est ravis que CookBook vous accompagne aussi bien sur iPhone, iPad et Mac, et que vous profitiez de toutes les possibilités de l’application. Merci aussi pour la mention des petits bugs. Si vous avez des exemples précis, vous pouvez toujours nous écrire à [team@cookbookmanager.com](mailto:team@cookbookmanager.com), on est heureux de les regarder. Merci encore pour ce très bel avis et pour les 5 étoiles. Happy Cooking! 🍳😊

Best Recipe Importer

I’ve tried them all and no app does a recipe import into your cookbook better than this app. What I love most of all is their dev group’s response to fix bugs asap.

My paprika replacement

I was disappointed with the direction of my former recipe app and spent quite a while trying replacements. Cookbook recipe manager met all my requirements and is a pleasure to use. Importing over 3000 recipes went flawlessly. Highly recommended.

Excellent recipe app!

I did a TON of research to find the absolute best recipe app in existence, and this is by far the best! Converts recipes flawlessly from social media like facebook, and it also scans printed and even handwritten recipes. 100% worth the cost!

Love but need childrens access

I love this app, I’ve collected a lot of recipes and love to access to them whilst on holiday etc. I do think it’s worth the money - I pay yearly.

But. As a busy mum I sometimes want someone else to cook- the children! To use the recipes I need to screen shot each page as my their devices are locked down by school after school hours. I can send them a what’s app but it doesn’t give them a photo of what it’s supposed to look like which is hard for a beginner cook. I’d really love a family/household account where we could all browse the recipes and use a recipe with someone (me!) managing it. I obviously don’t want to pay for 4 subscriptions though!
I’d give it 5 stars if it was a family app!

Response from developer

This is such a helpful bit of feedback, 167jskd49, thank you. We’re really glad CookBook has become useful enough to travel with you, and it’s lovely to hear you feel it’s worth the yearly subscription. We completely understand the family use case here. A household setup where recipes can be browsed and used by family members, without everyone needing to manage the main collection, would be a really useful addition. It’s something we’d love to explore as CookBook keeps growing. Thanks for explaining the situation so clearly. Feedback like this is genuinely helpful when we’re deciding what to improve next. Happy Cooking! 🍳😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely love this app! A game changer in the kitchen 🌱🍽️

Cookbook has completely transformed how I plan, shop and cook meals. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how easy it is to save and organize all my favourite plant-based recipes in one place. The interface is clean, simple, and super intuitive — it just works.

One of the best features is the shopping list — I can instantly add ingredients from any recipe and organize my list by category, which makes grocery trips so much quicker. But the real magic is the ingredient-based suggestions. I often find myself with random things in the fridge, and this app actually helps me figure out what I can make with what I already have. It’s saved me from wasting food so many times!

If you’re looking for an easy, smart way to manage your meals and never get stuck wondering “what’s for dinner?” again, I can’t recommend Cookbook enough. It’s like having a personal kitchen assistant in your pocket. 💚

The best recipe app

It’s so easy to add recipes from pretty much anywhere. I also have the app on my tablet and use it when following recipes. You can cross out as you go. You can make shopping list and it has a meal planner. It’s great! I love it!

Been using this app from the very early days of development and I love it. I use it all the time, have thousands of recipes and love that I can download recipes directly from social media!

Bonjour mamilie20, désolés que l’importation à partir de Facebook vous cause des problèmes. Les importations depuis les réseaux sociaux peuvent être affectées lorsque les plateformes changent la façon dont leurs publications ou vidéos sont partagées, mais nous travaillons toujours à les améliorer. Écrivez-nous à team@cookbookmanager.com avec le lien Facebook qui ne fonctionne pas, les détails de votre appareil et, si possible, des captures d’écran ou un enregistrement vidéo. Ça nous donnera quelque chose de concret à vérifier et à corriger.

Accidental deletions

My family and I share this app and we love it. The only suggestion I would like to make is that there be certain time allowance to retrieve accidentally deleted recipes.

So lovely to hear your family is enjoying CookBook together, TimAnon. We really appreciate the 5 stars and the kind words. A way to recover accidentally deleted recipes within a certain time window is a sensible suggestion, and we’ll definitely keep it in mind as we continue improving the app. Thanks for taking the time to share the feedback. Happy Cooking! 🍳😊
