Build your weekly menu and generate your shopping list automatically, straight from the recipe. Add only what's missing. Less waste, more time for you.
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.

I use this app in my I pad pro. Many apps in japan does not have both versions for iPhone and I pad. Great!One thing, when I look up recipes in and out of cook pad, browser from google search and safari do not automatically transfers recipe at cook pad to the app. I always have to re type the number to folder the recipe.
Worth your money
Suupuu
I did the premium trial for 3 months and I love it so far. I use it all the time for dinner, baking goods and ideas when I don’t know what to make. I use the app in Japanese but I think you can use the English one if you prefer. The folders for recipes get automatically sorted based on type of dish so it’s really easy for me to find stuff I saved afterwards. Def worth my money.
Can’t live without it!
For red tomatoes only
I always find super good recipes from this service (in Japanese). I’m a paying subscriber, but it’s worth every single penny! You can find all recipes for any occasions, parties, desserts, breakfast and just a yummy dressing.
Have been relying on it for decades!
Ricoocoo
Cookpad has been my savior as I have many Japanese dishes that I wish to make but have no idea how to go about it. I love Cookpad's collection of everyday recipes right from Japan.
