## What is Tapas Cooking?

Tapas is the first 100% free smart cookbook and grocery planner that works FOR you, not against you.

SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE
Share a TikTok or Instagram post, paste a link, or photograph a cookbook page. Tapas reads it and fixes what other apps get wrong: sizes, spellings, missing steps and half-written ingredients. It returns a recipe you can actually cook from.

PLAN THE WEEK
Pick what you are eating and get suggestions from your own cookbook that use ingredients already on your list, so less goes to waste.

ONE GROCERY LIST
Everything you planned, sorted by aisle, with anything already in your kitchen left off. Part of a household? Tapas' native households feature means 

COOK WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE
Cook mode makes for easy, hands-free cooking, linking your instructions to the recipe's ingredients. Tapas reads your recipes intelligently to offer timers for all timed steps, and the Tapas assistant is available for any questions abotu technique, substitute, or otherwise.

COOK TOGETHER
Share a cookbook, a meal plan and a grocery list with your household. Add friends, see the recipes they share, and save one in a single tap.

AN ASSISTANT THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU LIKE
Ask for a gluten-free version and it rewrites the recipe. It remembers your preferences, and you can see and delete anything it has remembered.

PRICE
Tapas is 100% free. Saving, importing, planning, grocery lists, cook mode, the assistant, your own tags and your household, with no subscription and no in-app purchase.

Tapas is not a nutrition or medical app and does not give dietary advice. Always check ingredients yourself if you have an allergy.
