## What is Tastemade Cooking?

Meal planning, done for you.
Personalized weekly plans and smart grocery lists—tailored to your taste.

Let us build you a personalized weekly meal plan, or build a plan from recipes you love – plus a smart grocery list that comes together automatically. Set your taste preferences once so every recommendation fits how you actually cook. No more guessing what to make or what to buy.

SMART PERSONALIZATION
Set up your Taste Profile to tell us what you love, what you avoid, and how you like to cook. Whether you build your own plan or let us build one for you, every recommendation feels relevant and doable.

MEAL PLANNING, YOUR WAY
Plan your week in seconds. Use the Personalized Meal Planner to build a plan for any days and meals you want, or build your own from recipes you love. Choose to minimize groceries or prioritize ingredient variety with a single tap.

ONE SMART GROCERY LIST
Your entire week, organized in one place. Ingredients automatically combine across recipes and group by aisle for easier shopping. Check items off as you go, move completed items to the bottom of your list, or order everything at once with Instacart.

THOUSANDS OF RELIABLE RECIPES

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-10, version 1.20.1*

Cancelled and still billed me

### 5/5 — Anyone can cook, when you the recipe! And tweek as desired!

*2026-06-16*

All recipes I have made are hands down fabulous! Each week I choose a chef, Frankie & Jamie, are well, amazing! I look forward to the next chef. Defiantly worth the subscription price! Another word, if you get Tastemade channels by your cable provider it is GREAT to watch also……

### 5/5 — Yum

*2026-06-10*

This app really helps me figure out what’s for dinner AND get my grocery list together

### 1/5 — Paid membership only

*2026-06-03*

No info about that anywhere until you finish making your profile. Again 0 things you can do without spending money

### 5/5 — Great for meal prep

*2026-05-14*

I love it! Been using it to plan my week of meals and easily grocery shop. Good for when I’m cooking for my family!

### 2/5 — The Show vs the App

*2026-05-09, version 1.17.0*

The Show is OUT OF THIS WORLD, AMAZING. The app gives me nothing in comparison. Hopefully we can have some chef crossover. I know you can do it!

### 1/5 — Not actually free

*2026-03-20, version 1.14.0*

No tastemade, a free trial is not the same as an app being free. At the very least have part of the app be free. I was excited to try this as a college student who likes cooking and meal planning but this is just bs!

### 3/5 — Not ready yet

*2026-03-15*

It’s ok. It has a lot of recipes (quantity), but not many good quality recipes. Really, who needs numerous recipes for scrambled eggs. One will do. Someone must be obsessed with salmon because there is an over abundance of uninteresting salmon recipes that quite frankly probably taste as boring as they read. This app has potential but it has a way to go. A little less redundancy and more substance would be a good start. Not subscription worthy.

### 5/5 — Hog wild

*2026-03-05, version 1.12.2*

Great experience 👍🏻🐍🐊🇺🇸⛳️🏁🧞‍♀️

### 1/5 — Scam- the trial is a scam!

*2026-02-09*

I also had the same issue as another reviewer. ( look up the reviews! )You try to cancel it but it didn’t fully cancel. I tried to get a refund and they wouldn’t allow it. I never used their app. It never helped me with anything. And they won’t refund it because they need money.
