Poor Search Function

App has a great variety of recipes and allows comments for you and all users. Very helpful. However, after saving a recipe to my Recipe Box, it is extremely difficult to search for a specific one — unless I search for the EXACT title. For example, “roast chicken” alone does not call up “slow-roasted oregano chicken”. An improved search function is needed.

My “go to” cooking app

The NYT recipes always expand my thinking about food. The combinations of step-by-step instructions that magically achieve both brevity and clarity, combined with beautiful food photography, virtually guarantee that my cooking impresses! NYT Cooking converted me from a full-time “free spirit” cook to a frequent recipe follower, and widened my cooking range.

Perfect every day

I really just don’t know why I still have cookbooks, except for the particular memories and about 6 recipes.

Perfection, Beloved

This app is the apex of all cooking apps and general food reading enjoyment. 10/10. Beyond cooking - Having a dreary day? Pull up a recipe and get lost in the comments.

Love the recipes, only wish some could be saved to read offline

I love nytcooking, but I wish recipes that are saved could be viewed offline!
