Best Cooking App by Far!

My wife and I cook a lot and we like trying new recipes. We love Asian, Italian and virtually all global cuisines. NYT Cooking is always my first stop for recipes. They’re 100% reliable to come out well if you follow the very clear directions. The baking recipes are phenomenal too — for example, I now make my own pie crusts using Melissa Clark’s recipe— easy! Also great for vegetarian recipes. I never bother with printed cookbooks anymore—NYT Cooking is far superior.

Beautiful, novel recipes

The recipes are so enticing - contemporary but respectful of traditions. Comments and suggestions from the large community of members is a real plus.
