Not sure what to cook tonight? Cookpad recommends: search by ingredient or by dish across thousands of authentic recipes from a global community of home cooks — all verified by the people who have actually cooked them. WHAT SHOULD I COOK TONIGHT? Tell us what's in the fridge and we'll tell you what to make with it. Chicken, salmon, ground beef, half a box of lasagna noodles: every recipe we put in front of you has already been cooked by someone before you, who left a photo of how it turned out (Cooksnap) and wrote up how it went. It isn't a list of recipes to scroll — it's a recommendation for tonight's dinner, with the proof that it works. RECIPES VERIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY Trustworthy recipes, written by the people who cook them every day, not by an editorial team. Every Cooksnap is a photo from someone who made it before you, with comments on how it went: where it goes wrong, whether the measurements add up, how long it really takes. That's how we know what to recommend — no editor decides it, the person who cooked it proves it. IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE, INCLUDING INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK Write your own recipes or import your favorites from any website, from Instagram, from TikTok, from a book or from a handwritten notebook. Build your own biggest recipe collection, all in one place. Tap Share and the recipe is added straight to your collection — ingredients and steps separated, ready to follow. No more screenshots lost in your camera roll. Save them as drafts and finish them whenever you want. AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION Find a recipe in Spanish, Italian or Japanese and read it in English: the translation is automatic. AD-FREE. ALWAYS. No ads, not even in the free version. No banner to close with flour on your hands, no video starting up while you're reading the measurements. YOUR DIGITAL RECIPE BOX, ALL IN ONE PLACE Your recipe keeper, cookbook and cooking app — all in one. Save cooking recipes from anywhere and find them again in seconds. • Import & Scan: Import any recipe from a website or a social post in one tap. Snap a photo of a handwritten recipe or cookbook page: AI turns it into a digital recipe. • Create with AI: Write your own recipes with the AI Recipe Assistant, without forgetting a single step. Save the draft and finish it whenever you have time. • Organize & Plan: Sort everything into private folders by theme — chicken, desserts, gluten-free, breakfast. Build your weekly menu in a few taps and let your shopping list build itself from your recipes: you only add what's missing. • Cook What You Have: Cook with what's already in your fridge or pantry. Save money, use your leftovers and reduce food waste. FOR EVERY TASTE AND NEED Quick and easy weeknight dinners, chicken and salmon, filet mignon and scallops, soups and chili, breakfast and lunch, baking and desserts — plus cuisines from around the world: Mexican, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indian. Filters for vegan, vegetarian, keto, gluten-free, dairy-free and baby-led weaning. Tools and methods: air fryer, slow cooker, Instant Pot, bread maker. SHARE YOUR COOKING Share recipes with friends, family and the community — or keep them private, just for you. Upload photos of the dishes you've made (Cooksnaps) and tell everyone how it went. Follow home cooks and food creators from around the world and ask for tips whenever you need them. JOIN A COMMUNITY THAT COOKS EVERY DAY For everyone — from beginners to experienced cooks — for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

TableCheck's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
