About this app

Not sure what to cook tonight? Find authentic recipes from a global community of home cooks: search thousands by ingredient or by meal — chicken, pasta, lunch, breakfast, dinner. All recipes recommended and verified.
Import your favourites from any website, from Instagram, from TikTok, from a book or from a handwritten notebook. Collect everything in one place and build your biggest recipe collection.
Trustworthy recipes, written by the people who cook them every day. Every Cooksnap is a photo from someone who made it before you, with comments on how it went.
THE RECIPES YOU GREW UP WITH
Cottage pie, corned beef hash, bubble and squeak, Sunday roast, Yorkshire puddings, scones and Victoria sponge: the dishes people actually make at home, written by the people who make them.
SAVE FROM INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK IN ONE TAP
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
If you find a recipe in Spanish, Italian or Japanese, you can read it in English with automatic translation.
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 BOOK, ALL IN ONE PLACE
Your recipe book, recipe keeper 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 a 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.
• Organise & 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.
• Cook What You Have: Cook with what's already in your fridge or cupboard: save money, use your leftovers and reduce food waste.

Great recipe app! If you need a recipe for a dish, you can probably find many versions of it here. I love to bookmark my favorite versions and I come back to them again and again. I also love finding new dishes to make here or find inspiration by searching for certain ingredients.

A very useless app. When you login through Facebook instead of being redirected back to the app you get stuck on the web browser that would have been fine if the app had logged in but it did not. It still requests for login. And wth is up with having to login to a recipe application anyway. No recommendation from me to download the app

OK to a level. Not enough choice of EntrĆØ posts for starters. No imperial metric conversion for Cups (a US measure used instead of oz or grams). Highly frustrating. Update: Extra star for swift response to my review. I'm using the app more now that my search results are improving. App is getting more handy to have open in the kitchen.
