Some nice recipes, but finding them is a pain. The search is minimalistic, it really jacks some advanced filters, like by seasonal ingredients, etc. Once you found a nice recipe you can save it, but don't expect to be able to find it again later, it's filed down some arbitrary folders (is it in lunch or dinner? Not your decision) and not available though search. Very sad that record aren't organized better.

This is a great way to access, save, and organize NYT recipes as well as read notes from people who've made them and read articles about cooking tips and more. Each recipe includes an intro and a picture, and many have videos. Another thing I like is an extensive recently viewed section with a long memory. One of the best!

I absolutely love this app! I couldn't live without it! All of my very best, most loved meals come from NYT cooking recipes. I don't often look anywhere else for a recipe. I plan a week's worth of dinners on Saturdays and order my groceries to be delivered. on Sundays I prep as many meals as I can ahead of time to make weeknight cooking easier. Every recipe we love gets moved into the "favorites" folder, this makes choosing meals for the week so easy.
