Do you love cookbooks? Us, too. That's why we created CookShelf, the app that helps you make the most of your cookbook collection, and cook from the books you already own.
Got too much zucchini in the summer, and an excess of cabbage in winter? Or are you just trying to find that one Bolognese recipe you love and make every year, but can *never* remember which book it’s in? Quickly find recipes across your cookbooks that use what you already have – no more forgotten vegetables wilting in your crisper drawer. Simply search by ingredient, dish type, or whatever you're craving, and CookShelf shows exactly which cookbook has what you need and what page it's on.
CookShelf is built for home cooks who love real cookbooks and real creators. Set a goal for how many cookbook recipes you'll cook this year, track your progress, and look back at everything you've made. We bridge the gap between physical cookbooks and digital convenience – because the best recipes are already on your shelf.
◆ Instantly search across your cookbooks and thousands of online recipes
◆ Find recipes based on what's in your fridge
◆ See ingredients lists before opening your books
◆ Track your cooking: bookmark recipes, mark what you've cooked, add photos and notes, and look back at your cooks timeline
◆ Set a cooking goal and watch your progress grow throughout the year
◆ Reduce food waste: use up CSA box ingredients before they spoil
◆ Finally cook from those cookbooks you love but rarely open
◆ Over 15,000 cookbooks indexed
◆ Included with your Eat Your Books Premium membership – and your library syncs

I really love this concept. And it’s a great looking app. Super intuitive. The cost though…woof. I would pay a flat fee, but this cost ongoing, it’s a bit much. Hopefully this will change in the future!
Bait and switch

Deleted it as soon as I opened it. Why not be honest and upfront and list that it costs $50/ year to basically index recipe TITLES? So let’s be clear, not the actual recipe, you still need to pull out your recipe book. And for that an annual sub costs the equivalent of a hardcover recipe book. I can see paying a few dollars once to purchase it, but an ongoing sub? Ridiculous
Sneaky

Asks for a bunch of info then hits you with the subscription fee. I can’t stand how everything is on a subscription model now, instead of letting you just buy it once and use it forever (I don’t mind paying for updates when I’m ready to upgrade but don’t want to pay monthly forever). And to not be upfront about the cost until after getting a bunch of information out of the user doesn’t sit well with me.
Awful app

I wanted to love this and the premise is good however there are hardly any books indexed. I tried 10 different books and none of them were indexed. The majority of my library is “Taste of Home” cookbooks, and I didn’t find one that was in there. This should not have been released until more books were indexed. Very disappointing.
