Honest Cooking
The Smarter Cooking App
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The only cooking app you'll ever need. Honest Cooking is 5,000+ professionally developed recipes with gorgeous photos, every one tested in a real kitchen, plus smart tools that help you figure out what to actually make tonight.
5,000+ Recipes Worth Cooking
Recipes created by the best food bloggers and writers in the world. No recipes that somehow need 47 ingredients on a Tuesday. Browse by cuisine, course, season, ingredient, mood, technique, or dietary preference. The library is deep enough that you'll keep finding things you haven't tried yet.
100 Classics
The 100 legendary recipes that will make your home cooking reach the next level. Ranging from Italian to Indian and very much in between, these are recipes that you will find yourself coming back to again and again. Track your progress, and become a legend!
100 Basics
The foundation of every home kitchen, the basic techniques and recipes you need to know. From dressings and sauces to baking techniques and simple egg dishes. Track and evolve!
Pantry Search
Type in what's in your fridge. Get real recipes built around it. Useful if you're trying to use up that half a cabbage before it goes bad.
Weekly Meal Plan
A tailored weekly meal plan with things you love, based on your schedule, the weather, your location, and how you've cooked before. Busy evening means something fast. Heatwave means you're not turning on the oven. It's not magic, even though it feels like it, it's just paying attention to your life. Add to your shopping lists and get your week going, swap and switch out recipes as you want. Pin your favorites to cook them every week.
Shopping Lists
Tap any recipe, get a shopping list. Edit it, build multiple lists, use it at the store. It works.
Smart Collections
Save recipes and rate them. The app tracks what you cook and what you skip, and recommendations get better over time as a result.
Search
Filter by ingredients, allergens, equipment, skill level, time, or dietary needs. It's fast and it doesn't bury what you're looking for.
Go Deeper
Seasonal collections, ingredient guides, technique walkthroughs, and structured cooking classes if you want them. Worthwhile if you're trying to actually get better at this, not just fed.
Cook Mode
Focus in with step by step hands off cooking and timers to make your dinner so much easier.
