Ratings and Reviews
A Working Mom's Secret Weapon for Stress-Free Meal Planning!
As a working mother constantly juggling multiple responsibilities, I can't recommend Cook Smarts enough. Founded by Jess Dang, a fellow mom who understands the daily dinner dilemma, this meal planning service has transformed my weeknight cooking routine. What sets Cook Smarts apart is their thoughtfully written recipes that manage to be both approachable and diverse, taking you on a culinary journey while keeping things practical for busy weeknights. The grocery lists are automatically generated and organized by store section, eliminating that Sunday evening stress of figuring out what to cook and what to buy. Having used the service for a decade, I've watched it evolve from a startup to a polished platform that consistently delivers reliable, family-friendly recipes. The educational component is particularly valuable - each recipe includes technique videos and tips that have genuinely improved my cooking skills over time. What really shines through is the company's genuine commitment to helping families eat well without the mental load of meal planning. For working moms who want to put home-cooked meals on the table but don't have time to wade through countless recipes and plan menus, Cook Smarts offers the perfect solution - giving you back precious time to spend with your family while still enjoying the satisfaction of cooking nourishing meals.
Cook Smarts is the only meal planning program that actually works for me and my family
Since I learned about Cook Smarts from a friend 4 years ago, it has been a consistent piece of the meal planning puzzle for me and my family of 4. It is so easy to use and flexible. I can pull a single recipe from it based on searching by an ingredient I have on hand, use it to plan a week of meals, save my family favorites, etc. The ease of making and editing a shopping list and doing Sunday prep with clear instructions when we can are incredibly intuitive and make our lives easier. Also, the fact that the recipes are generally only 30-45 mins start to finish for a delicious well-rounded meal even if you don’t have time for Sunday prep is always impressive to us. My kids even love most of the recipes too! I also love that it’s easy to adapt the recipes when we have a vegetarian friend visiting or my gluten-free sister visiting. I am so grateful for Cook Smarts and have recommended it to all my friends and family for years!
Cook Smarts is a Life Changer!
I’ve been using Cook Smarts consistently for I think 13 years now? I came to it with basically the cooking knowledge required to make a quesadilla and have been regularly making delicious meals for years now. There are so many that are incredibly simple (but still nutritious) for busy weeknights and some that are a little more extravagant if you’re feeling fancy. My favorite feature though is the ability to switch dietary needs for each meal. We became vegetarians about 6 years ago and Cook Smarts made it so easy because every meal on the meal plan has a vegetarian (and paleo and gluten free) version you can select. Oh! And the grocery lists! The grocery lists are a lifesaver! Everything about this service has been so well thought out. They really listen to the needs of their customers and are constantly working to make it better. We will never use anything else!
