## What is Easy Cook Magazine?

Easy Cook is designed to appeal to people who want to get good, healthy food on the table every night but quickly and without any fuss. In every issue and on every page Easy Cook shows readers how it is possible to cook from scratch using fresh ingredients – without spending hours in the kitchen. We always use clear, straight-forward, easy to understand language in our recipes so that having the Easy Cook Magazine app to hand while cooking is like having a good friend with you in the kitchen.

What’s inside:

Speedy Meals: Find a whole range of quick and easy recipes, all ready and on the table in 30 minutes or less. Our quick weeknight meals feature starts this section and takes you straight into a month of mouthwatering recipes - just what you need after a busy day at work or when the kids come home hungry from school.

Easy Entertaining: Turn to when you’re having friends over for a meal or cooking Sunday lunch for the family. The recipes are still quick to prepare, thanks to our time-saving tricks and clever shortcuts, but they look really impressive and taste wonderful.

Get Baking: We show you how to get perfect results every time with our straightforward, delicious recipes for sweet and savoury bakes. There are everyday ideas perfect for lunchboxes, and special occasion treats too.

TV Cooks: We bring you the very best ideas from talented TV cooks, with recipes chosen because they’re easy to make and because they offer you the chance to try out ingredients or flavour combinations you might not have used before.

Easy Cook Cookery School: Each month you can learn a new technique or skill, designed to speed up your cooking and help you make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. The step-by-step instructions are clearly photographed so they’re easy to follow, and we give you a selection of different recipes as well so you can put your new skills into practice straight away.

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-05-09*

My subscription renewed for 2026 and neither magazine or Apple will help me see issues beyond 2025 despite several calls and emails  to both 😡

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-02-18*

### 1/5 — Subscription renewed but still charged for issues

*2025-07-01*

Subscription renewed end of May and since then 2 issues have been released. These have not been included and are priced at $7.99 apiece. Restore purchases does not work in this instance. Reporting to Apple and BBC Magazines has not warranted a responses.

### 4/5 — My main source for recipes

*2023-02-26*

I use the app to plan our meals, The only complaint I have is that the search function only allows one word prompts meaning if you are looking for a recipe or a main ingredient the present system brings up everything. If you wish to find mushroom risotto, if you put in mushroom you get every entry for mushrooms likewise with risotto.
