Essential - the one place to put all our best recipes

When I discovered this app it felt like an epiphany. I’d been trying to keep track of our favorite recipes in a google doc, with links, notes, descriptions, etc, but this just does everything we need.

My wishes:
- Make an iPad version! I use iPad for cooking much more than iPhone.
- Sharing! It doesn’t work for me and my wife. We want to keep a single family cookbook, and sometimes just share recipes, but it hasn’t worked when sharing and saving.

Fantastic app - Hefty price point

I think this is hands down the best recipe app I have ever used (and I’ve tried a lot). It has a sleek interface on the web and the app. It recognizes recipes from everywhere -even Reddit posts. And it creates grocery lists without duplicating items like most other apps do. Truly the best!

However, 60$ a year is too expensive for an app. I would never pay that for any app, even a fantastic one like this. The pricing is just not competitive with other recipe apps… For that reason alone, I go with the competitors.

Not letting me upgrade

I love the app it’s helpful and useful and I want to upgrade the app for the extra space for recipes but it isn’t allowing me to upgrade through the website.

Best cookbook/recipe app ever

The best app for cooking or recipes. Sorts out the steps and ingredients for you from any recipe site that I’ve used. Clean interface. The developer must have worked really hard and I hope they support the app for a long time

Fantastic experience!

This is the kind of solution I’ve been looking for for years. I’ve saved my recipes across bookmark folders, books, foto’s and paper form. Notes I’m finally able to combine them and share with family and friend! The grocery feature makes the app simply prefect!

Great but needs space

Is there going to be an expansion for having more than 25 recipes? I’m bummed I have to delete to store new. It’s amazing otherwise

I am amazed!

This app not only executes it’s main purpose (auto populating a personal recipe book with recipes found online), it also looks elegant. This is one of the most creative solutions, with sound execution, that I can find on the App market place. I highly recommend anyone give this a try, even if you don’t cook much. The beauty of the application takes all the ads, product placements, pop ups and general noise away from a cook book website. Which allows me to focus on what I need to know…which is how to cook a delicious meal.

Awesome App

This is one of those apps where I selfishly don’t want it to become popular so it doesn’t get transformed where it becomes one of those annoying apps with all the advertisements, etc. But realistically, I understand if the developer wants to make their return from developing this great app. So if it goes to that, I hope there will be a pay option to avoid the ads.

So far, I’ve been using the app for just under a year and I have no complaints, so don’t change a thing. Thank you!

Brilliant UI

This is the first time i am using the app and the UI is great and the app is nicely organised and it saves the pain of going on to recipe websites which are full of ads, bad UI’s and difficult to read text.

Great App!!

Found out about this on a podcast (kitchen counter podcast) and have been playing with it ever since! As an aspiring home chef this has been a great tool to be able to keep my recipes on my phone or iPad and edit and reword recipes as needed! LOVE IT!!!

Amazing app

Simple and very easy to use! Works great for importing recipes! So happy I stumbled across it

Search functionality doesn't work

The search functionality doesn't seem to work. This is the only reason I downloaded the app, to search for new recipes.

Response from developer

Hi Nathan, search looks for recipes you have saved to your account, so if you haven't added any yet there won't be anything to search for.

Awesome

Wow, this app seems great! Everything I’d want from it aside from being self-hosted!

Also, there seems to be a cap of 50 recipes?

Fantastic

An awesome application, making it easy to extract recipes, especially for word heavy blog sites. Highly recommend!

Awesome app for storing recipes

Awesome job on this app. Very useful. Love Ben Awad’s videos and this a well executed idea.

Nice app!

Im a developer myself and I love watching Ben’s tutorials on YouTube. My girlfriend and I are using this app for recipes now and we love it 😃

Great app

Just a fantastic app.

Find a recipe online on my computer -> import it to saffron -> add ingredients to shopping list -> go to the grocery store with my list on the phone.

All of that in about one minute.

Then I can easily redo recipes I’ve enjoyed. The pictures help me to remember the recipes I’ve enjoyed and that I feel like eating now.

Overall, this app has extremely simplified my cooking flow and I highly recommend!

Best cookbook app I’ve come across

I downloaded this app recently due to some Reddit recommendations. This app is amazing. You can import url recipes or type in your own, edit them (great for an experimental cook like myself) and they look so sleek.

There’s also a search feature to search by ingredient which is so handy. It’s fantastic that I can use the app on my phone or the website on my laptop to access my recipe database anywhere. So happy to have discovered this app!
