I have been wanting this kind of cooking tool for a long time!!  It’s so easy to use and I can finally replace my disorganized list of recipe websites with this useful and well designed app. And even include my old family recipes, all in one place!  This app really boosts my cooking on the daily.

This app makes creating meal plans, grocery lists, recipes edits, etc so so easy! My husband and I use it everyday. I love that Roux is a cooking assistant as well and can help me figure out substitutes or think through changes to a recipe as I’m cooking.
