Meine Meinung nach die beste Rezepte App

Benutze sie regelmäßig und bin begeistert! Durch die KI lassen sich sogar Rezeptbücher einscannen. Ein Rezept von einer Webseite zu speichern ist auch kein Problem.
Die Führung Stepp by Stepp durch ein Rezept beim Kochen ist auch wirklich gelungen. Klare Empfehlung!

Best Ever

The paid version of this app is so worth it. It can scan your recipes from your favorite cookbook into an easy to read recipe on your phone.

Super app

Crouton est vraiment une app pratique et bien faite.
Par contre aucune importation possible des recettes de Facebook, malgré un abonnement plus et découverte

Best recipe app out there

So thoughtfully made with its internal timers, metric toggle, scale multiplier etc. It’s on my app front page.

I’m giving you 5 stars because you deserve them! ⭐️

Hello! I’m from Russia, and I’d like to know if you’re planning to add Russian language support. I’d love to purchase your app, but at the moment, it’s inconvenient for me to use without a Russian localization.
