About Cookpad Recipes
WHAT SHOULD I COOK TONIGHT?
Tell us what's in the fridge and we'll tell you what to make with it. Chicken, salmon, ground beef, half a box of lasagna noodles: every recipe we put in front of you has already been cooked by someone before you, who left a photo of how it turned out (Cooksnap) and wrote up how it went. It isn't a list of recipes to scroll — it's a recommendation for tonight's dinner, with the proof that it works.
RECIPES VERIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY
Trustworthy recipes, written by the people who cook them every day, not by an editorial team. Every Cooksnap is a photo from someone who made it before you, with comments on how it went: where it goes wrong, whether the measurements add up, how long it really takes. That's how we know what to recommend — no editor decides it, the person who cooked it proves it.
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE, INCLUDING INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK
Write your own recipes or import your favorites from any website, from Instagram, from TikTok, from a book or from a handwritten notebook. Build your own biggest recipe collection, all in one place.
Tap Share and the recipe is added straight to your collection — ingredients and steps separated, ready to follow. No more screenshots lost in your camera roll. Save them as drafts and finish them whenever you want.
AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION
Find a recipe in Spanish, Italian or Japanese and read it in English: the translation is automatic.
AD-FREE. ALWAYS.
No ads, not even in the free version. No banner to close with flour on your hands, no video starting up while you're reading the measurements.
YOUR DIGITAL RECIPE BOX, ALL IN ONE PLACE
Your recipe keeper, cookbook and cooking app — all in one. Save cooking recipes from anywhere and find them again in seconds.
• Import & Scan: Import any recipe from a website or a social post in one tap. Snap a photo of a handwritten recipe or cookbook page: AI turns it into a digital recipe.
• Create with AI: Write your own recipes with the AI Recipe Assistant, without forgetting a single step. Save the draft and finish it whenever you have time.
• Organize & Plan: Sort everything into private folders by theme — chicken, desserts, gluten-free, breakfast. Build your weekly menu in a few taps and let your shopping list build itself from your recipes: you only add what's missing.
• Cook What You Have: Cook with what's already in your fridge or pantry. Save money, use your leftovers and reduce food waste.
FOR EVERY TASTE AND NEED
Quick and easy weeknight dinners, chicken and salmon, filet mignon and scallops, soups and chili, breakfast and lunch, baking and desserts — plus cuisines from around the world: Mexican, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indian.

About Cookpad recipes, homemade food
Import your favorites from any website, from Instagram, from TikTok, from a book or from a handwritten notebook. Collect everything in one place and build your biggest recipe collection.
Trustworthy recipes, written by the people who cook them every day. Every Cooksnap is a photo from someone who made it before you, with comments on how it went.
Quick & easy weeknight dinners, breakfast ideas, simple desserts — all in one collection, kept up to date every day by the community.
SAVE FROM INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK IN ONE TAP
Found a recipe on Instagram or TikTok? Tap Share and it's added straight to your collection — ingredients and steps separated, ready to follow. No more screenshots lost in your camera roll. Save them as drafts and finish them whenever you want.
AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION
If you find a recipe in Spanish, Italian or Japanese, you can read it in English with automatic translation.
AD-FREE. ALWAYS.
No ads, not even in the free version. No banner to close with flour on your hands, no video starting up while you're reading the measurements.
