## What is PocketCook?

Cook alongside the chefs you follow.

Save their videos as recipes, then plan, shop and cook with the video beside you.

Paste a recipe
Paste the link or the reply, and PocketCook pulls out the ingredients and steps and keeps the video, credited to its creator.

Build the meal, with Plus
Combine recipes to create a meal. PocketCook works out what happens when, so every dish is ready at the same time.

Shop your own shelf
Not just “cheddar,” but the sharp cheddar you actually buy. Pick the product once, and every list after that comes with your brands, ready for your store’s cart.

Cook, one line at a time
Get an organized recipe for an entire meal. Each step comes with its ingredients and its timer, and the video follows along.

Hands-free cooking, with Plus
Use your voice to navigate the recipe and ask questions while you cook. Say “next” or “pause”, or ask out loud, and PocketCook answers from the recipe in front of you.

### 2.16 — 2026-10-19

Steps follow your servings. Change how many you're cooking for, and the amounts in every step change with the ingredients.

The right amount in your cart. Three cans of tomato sauce now put three cans in your cart, and every item on your list shows the product it will buy.

Two sizes of the same thing. Keep a small and a big pack of an item, and your order takes the one that covers what you need. Meat by weight also says when its pack is much bigger than the recipe calls for.

Choosing items is quicker. Tap the one you'd buy and it's saved, and the next item on your list opens.

Plus smaller fixes that make cooking more reliable.

Photos on your dinners. A dinner opens on its dishes' photos, and one someone sends you arrives with them.

A list that clears. Send an order to your cart and the list clears.

Quieter videos. Mute one video and the next stays muted.

Plus smaller fixes that make cooking more reliable. Planning several recipes as one meal is now part of Plus, and PocketCook can remind you about a saved recipe if you've been away.

Get ready while you wait. A step that roasts or simmers for a while now lists the chopping for what comes next.

Hot food, cooked last. A side that is best straight from the pan is cooked right before you eat.

Plus smaller fixes that make cooking more reliable. Asking about a recipe is now part of Plus.
