I like it, I also think…

I really appreciate the broad spectrum of recipes. I do wish they had the a meal planning portion of the app. I use MANY apps and recipe sites and sometimes I forget where the recipe I wanted showed up. I know, I’m old, but I can’t be the tone…

❤️ My NYTimes Cooking app

This app has been a life saver for me and my family. We all have some sort of restrictions when it comes to food and this app gives me TONS of inspirations on what to cook. 98% of the time the food is delicious and healthy. I almost never make anything twice because there are so many recipes to explore. I always send photos to my daughter and friends that are also delighted by the results.
I’ve never been disappointed and I have a list of things to cook so I’m never without an idea! 💡

Takes up too much of my time LOL

one of the rare food platforms that feels like a companion rather than a database — endlessly inspiring, occasionally distracting, and just shy of perfect because it needs more of those quick-hit videos that make dinner feel doable on a weeknight.

Happy we found this app!

Tried and tested easy recipes. The recipes have changed our at home dining experience and leave us less inclined to dine out. Excellent food, easy to find ingredients, quick to more involved recipes allowing a range of options. Love this app!

Some questionable instructions

I truly enjoy reading the recipes, but if I wasn’t a cook and understood methods there would have been more than one failure. For instance, the blender chocolate mousse recipe said to beat the heavy cream for 5 minutes. It would be butter by that time. The cashew brittle said to boil without a candy thermometer for 8-10 minutes. That length of time brought it to less than a soft ball stage.
A little more editing is in order.
