Description

Tired of cooking the same 3 meals on repeat? Zest integrates a mind-blowing cooking education into your routine. Learn to cook with us through step-by-step explanations of foundational cooking concepts in fewer than 10 minutes and dishes that bring the concept to life. Our recipes are created by two former Michelin star chefs, distilled by a home chef, and cooked by you, the superstar home cook that you are (or will be). We don't assume any prior culinary knowledge. We meet you where you are and help you improve. Stop copying traditional recipes - start learning from Zest. We've cooked those delicious Bon Appetit dinners. But when we took away the recipes we felt like lost puppies. Zest is designed to teach you the how's and why's of cooking. So when the recipe is gone you can confidently navigate the kitchen. The promise: Taste improvement after one dinner with Zest. FEATURES: STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS We've all tried cooking a TikTok recipe. You rewatch the video 13 times to figure out what the hell is going on. Zest embeds videos throughout recipes so you can click into content when you need it. No more pausing and restarting. Learn at your own pace. CONCEPT VIDEOS Watch a short video on a new concept at your own pace and then cook recipes that reinforce what you've learned. We dive into topics like the science of tasting and the basics of seasoning, sautéing, roasting and more! SKILL VIDEOS Don't know how to dice an onion? Don't be embarrassed, we got you covered. Skill videos are linked in each recipe to guide you along, so you don't have to watch Gordon Ramsey on YouTube (we love his accent too). CURATED MENU Choose a menu to fit your preferences. Tired of wasting produce? Search for dishes including what’s already in your fridge. Got allergies? Compile safe recipes in your menu to find them when you’re ready to get cooking. GROCERY LIST Shop your menu with our automated grocery list. Plus, utilize our helpful tips while you shop. Don't know what a neutral oil is? We got you covered. PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS Rate the recipes you cook, so we can recommend similar ones. Feedback? Technical Issues? Killer ideas you want to contribute to make our app better? Email us at support@zestapp.co. We're always here to help and would love to chef up new ideas together!

  • Light on recipes

    Has a lot of potential but I don’t see depth of recipes. It seems to be variations on a few themes. I cannot add an allergy to coconut so I can’t filter those out. Great videos on the basics but it used in precise measurements that a beginner wouldn’t understand like 1 1/2 pinches of salt, whatever that is supposed to be.

    Was expecting a free version, but requires payment to access anything on the app.
  • Almost a 5 star app

    The app is clean, easy to use, and has amazing recipes with great instructions. They’ve thought of everything, but i have a huge issue. I do not have an oven, and i have to check all of the recipes and look if i have to use one. It it infuriating to have to go through every single time. I wish there was a way to filter recipes when you don’t have the gadgets, or have an alternative way of cooking the recipes in some cases. Please, devs, make this a 5 star app!

    Saw an instagram ad for this app to save recipes from social media. Tried a handful and all failed… I’ve heard ReciMe is better so I’m off to try that

    I love zest and how useful it is. The only problem is how expensive it is! The app has so many amazing features and really teaches you about cooking, but it’s like 7 dollars a month which is price for an app.

    Just discovered the Zest Cooking app and I’m OBSESSED! 😍 As someone who truly loves cooking, I downloaded it instantly — and I’m so impressed. I wanted to see if it could handle Indian recipes not in English… and it did! I even tried other languages and it worked beautifully. For anyone who loves exploring recipes from around the world, this app is an absolute must-have! 🍲🫶

    A really good app but I canceled because there were no nutritional values for any of the recipes.

    I love the app it’s very informative and easy to understand but sometimes when using on iPad it won’t show all the words or options it’s like it needs to zoom out to show everything but can’t. Other than that I absolutely love it and highly recommend
  • Love this app BUT…

    I’ve written a review for this app before, was in touch with the app developers before, etc. I love how the creators really listen to the criticism/suggestions from their customers. The app has grown a lot from what it started from. Something I am very confused about and don’t like and that has consistently been the same is that with every new update, all the recipes I’ve saved/favorited get removed??? I’ve been paying for this app for a year and every update erases all the progress I’ve made in the learning module, it erases my cooking history, and it erases all the recipes I’ve saved. It frustrates me to NO END. Like now I have to go through and try to remember everything I’ve cooked so I can look them up and favorite/save them again?? Why is this an issue EVERY TIME?? At a certain point I have to wonder if other apps have this issue? I’m paying for my account, the LEAST I can expect is for the recipes I’ve favorited to save?? Otherwise I love this app. Also love that kosher is now available!!
