Description
Save recipes from anywhere, set unlimited timers, plan your week with meal plans, and so much more with Pestle.
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
Import recipes from anywhere on the internet to Pestle, and keep just the ingredients and steps. Just tap 'Share', and 'Save to my Cookbook'.
GUIDED COOKING
Turn any recipe into a step-by-step process with Pestle's guided cooking experience. Control Pestle hands-free for those messy recipes, set as many timers as you want & get reminders for quantities with just a tap.
DEVICE SYNC
Find a recipe on your iPhone, and cook it for dinner on your iPad with seamless, instant sync. For the power users, you can even switch between your iPad & iPhone with Handoff.
HOUSEHOLDS
Create a Pestle Household and share all of your recipes with your family, and create Meal Plans together, too!
DISCOVER
Pestle learns where you save recipes from and suggests to you their latest creations. Add your favorite foodie blogs and always stay up to date.
MEAL PLAN
Pestle can help you plan out your next 14-days by allowing you to assign recipes to each day. And, of course, syncs everywhere.
SHOPPING LIST
Take every ingredient from your recipe and add it to your shopping list! Already got Olive Oil? No worries, just tap it to remove it from your list.
BOOKMARKS
When Pestle isn't able to intelligently extract recipe details, Bookmarks are saved to take you straight back to the source.
RECIPE SCANNING
We get it, not all recipes are online. If you have a big collection of physical recipes, worry not, Pestle has a recipe scanner to digitize them!
There's a lot more you can do with Pestle, but we'll let you discover it!
The use of Pestle is outlined in our Terms of Use, which can be found at https://pestlechef.app/terms.

Ratings and Reviews
Incredible
I’ve been waiting for an app like this a long time. Others have added similar features for reading recipes from websites, but this works much better (80% success rate for me). The meal planner feature and integration with Reminders just lead to a great all round experience. Sure, there’s a few rough edges (scroll performance, not being able to add spaces to manually added ingredients), but the strength of the rest of the app make this very forgivable and it’s only an early version anyway. Well done, really excellent job!
A couple requests:
- If a recipe can’t be imported I’d love to be able to just add it anyway and view the website (like Pocket). This would let me store 100% of my recipes in the app.
- It’d also be great to share with my partner and view recipes she’s added in the Discover feed.
Fantastic so far - paid for future potential
Does what I wanted for recipe keeping, simple, beautiful, effective. Family sharing works do if you buy, then others can have it in your family for free but… a few niggles that I’d love to see improved.
1. Family sharing works, but no obvious way to sync recipes between family ? Maybe future update ? We can share by messages 1 to each other but really want a family recipe book
2. Love that it remembers ingredients as a key tag - would be good to just show the amount on the start cooking recipe steps rather than having to click on each ?
3. I create a lot of dairy free recipes - so often online recipes are the basis not identical. Would be nice to be able to edit information that is stored when importing an online recipe but don’t have that granularity when writing your own. Eg - editing the name of the author. Eg makes 6 biscuits… (can only put serves 6 etc)
4. Love the idea of meal planner as we do this weekly, but again need to synchronise with my wife for this to work !
Exceptional app
I am always looking for new recipes and this app is the best for saving them in one place rather than sixty tabs in a browser.
My only thought for improvement would be the ability to add cookbook pages in (by picture maybe) or the ability to plan a cookbook and page number in the calendar so I know what I said I would make last Sunday when it comes to a fridge full of ingredients and a missing sticky note.
I love this app as it is though so these thoughts aren’t going to stop me using it. So good.
