Description

Fresco is your personal sous chef, ready and willing to help you try new recipes or serve up your favorites. With a smart step-by-step format and recipes made for your appliances, cooking will be so easy you’ll want to do it every day.

Fresco is the only app that seamlessly brings recipes, appliances, and home cooks together to create a smart step-by-step cooking experience. Our recipes work with over 100 different appliance models from Instant Pot to Thermomix to Kenwood, simply tell us what smart appliances you have, and we’ll find the perfect recipes to work with them.

Start cooking in a flash.
Whether you’re a new cook or have been cooking for years, we’ll guide you through every recipe thanks to our guided recipe format. We’re always two steps ahead so that all you have to do is focus on that delicious dish.

Smart recipes for smart appliances.
From Instant Pot® to Thermomix®; connected ovens from GE Appliances, LG Electronics, and Bosch; to the Kenwood kCook Multi Smart and CookEasy+, there are over 100 different appliance models that can be controlled from the Fresco recipes app. Simply connect what you have in your kitchen, and we’ll find the perfect recipes to work with them. From timers to temperatures, we tell your appliance what it needs to do at the right moment so you don’t have to.

Make the internet your cookbook
We can take a recipe from your favorite website or blogger and give you smart step-by-step instructions. Pumpkin bread from Food 52? Pasta from Donal Skehan? We can do it all, and now, so can you. It is also completely ad-free!

Create what you crave
Whether you’re looking for a dairy-free dessert or a vegetarian chili, only see the recipes you’ll love. Filter food by dietary needs, preferences, or meal type (gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, vegetarian, nut-free, low fat, low sugar, paleo) and get cooking. Once you’ve found the perfect recipe, use the app to resize quantities, make ingredients substitutions, and make the recipe work for you.

Now we’re cooking.

Even more features to sink your teeth into:
-Ingredient substitution: Don’t miss out on a recipe because of one ingredient. Substitute out a missing ingredient with whatever you have to hand.
-Customize your serving size: With recipe resizing, you can scale the recipe quantity up or down in a cinch, reducing food waste without altering results. Don’t worry, we always respect the maximum capacity of the appliance you’re using so that there’s no overspill.
-Personal collections: Save and organize your recipes into private folders, making it easier and faster to plan and cook great food at home.

WIRED Magazine has called Fresco “a pretty amazing thing.” Fresco has also been praised in Gigaom, TechCrunch, MacWorld, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Gizmodo, and many more.

Broken scales with latest update

The hardware works really well, and the app used to work well and you could go straight in and start using the scales.

Lately, they have changed the app so you have to login, and you cannot go straight to the weighing screen.

This was just about acceptable but with the latest update, you can go through the process of connecting the scales and it says it has succeeded, but the scales don’t show up. The scales do show up if you select a specific recipe.

This is really annoying, I don’t want to lose my scales just because the phone has updated.

Edited- broken scales have now been fixed but it would still be good to be able to open the app on the weighing screen.

Very intuitive.

I have been using Drop from the very beginning and a part of the original beta development team. I find the app very easy to use, it very simply lists the ingredients and then the method is so simple to follow just listing one step at a time. No more reading long method scripts and realising when you come to a step that had a pre-step that you had missed. Oh, yes let’s not forget the USP for this product is the ability to scale ingredients when you are cooking for a smaller or larger group than the recipe suggests.

Used everyday

Since I bought this I have used it everyday. The recipes are fantastic and really helpful. Being able to adapt the recipes are genius. One little update that would really help would be if you could use your apple watch with it too? 🙏🏻
