few recipes unless you go $5 a month which is expensive.

I've been through a lot of cooking apps and many are clickbaited, link to ad-choked external websites, or obscure recipes in long-winded stories. Cookpad is what they pretend to be: search ingredients or recipes, find recipes in a clear format, save the good ones, and submit your own to the community. Simple, classic and unobtrusive.
