What's for dinner tonight? And where did that recipe you saved last month go? My Cook Plan keeps your recipes in one recipe book and helps you plan the week with them. It doesn't come with recipes: the recipes are yours, the ones you already cook, save from the web or have written down by hand. YOUR RECIPE BOOK Add recipes by hand with photos, or import one from a website by pasting the link. Share a recipe from Safari or another app straight into your book. Take a photo of a handwritten recipe or a page from a paper cookbook and zoom in while you cook. Categories, favorites, search and filters help you find anything. YOUR WEEKLY MEAL PLAN Breakfast, lunch, dinner and up to two snacks for every day. Pick a recipe from your book or just type the dish: "leftovers", "eating out". Copy a whole day when the menu repeats. GROCERY LIST Open a recipe, choose the ingredients you're missing and add them to your list in one tap. Check them off at the store. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add two or three recipes you cook often. 2. Put them on the days of the week. 3. Add what's missing to the grocery list. NO ACCOUNT, WORKS OFFLINE No sign-up. Your recipes and meal plans stay on your iPhone and work without internet. Changing phones? Export a backup file and restore it on the new one. FREE — Up to 50 recipes — Meal plans for the next 7 days — Grocery list up to 30 items — Import from websites: 1 a day, +1 after an ad — Backup to a file — Color schemes PREMIUM — Unlimited recipes and grocery list — Unlimited imports — Your own recipe categories — Full calendar and meal plan history — Themes with illustrated backgrounds — No ads WHAT IT ISN'T No ready-made recipes, no meal ideas, no calorie counting or diet plans. You fill the recipe book yourself. Your recipes. Your week. Your notebook. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
