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 [email protected]. We're always here to help and would love to chef up new ideas together!

What I’ve been looking for all my life!

disapointedanddisheartened on

I’ve always struggled with cooking and never was taught the basics so I had no jumping off point to work with. This app quizzes you and sees your skill level and works with you to develop them!! Basics like different levels of water heating, knife skills and where to store ingredients or find them in a store! All things most people overlook but so desperately needed for people like me! I’m really happy to have found an app that truly starts from the ground up and doesn’t assume you know the basics already and also adds little chefs tips that usually are gatekept!

Once Great, Now Paywalled

icantdecideausername on

I used to love this app. It was my go-to resource for learning how to cook, offering a ton of recipes and step-by-step tutorials that made even the most complex dishes approachable. The video guides and lessons were incredibly helpful. I found myself using it whenever I had the chance. However, everything changed when they introduced a paywall. The app went from being a treasure trove of free content to offering just five free recipes. This sudden shift felt like a betrayal to long-time users like myself who had grown to depend on its extensive recipe book. While I understand the need for developers to monetize their efforts, the transition was handled poorly. There was no warning or gradual shift; it was an abrupt cutoff. The new subscription model might be reasonable, but the lack of communication and consideration for existing users left a bad taste in my mouth. In summary, while the app still has great potential, the sudden implementation of a paywall with limited free content has significantly diminished its value. I hope the developers consider more user-friendly ways to balance monetization with accessibility. Until then, I’ll be searching for alternatives.

Unprofessional - but good recipes

Androtchi on

I used to recommend this app to everyone I know. However, after months of use, they one day restricted my access to a paywall. I do not think this app is worth the cost and I think it is extremely unprofessional to turn it into a paid app and restrict access without warning. I think this app is a powerful tool and really changed my outlook on cooking and gave me the tools I needed to become comfortable in the kitchen. This app is a great recipe book and I enjoyed the recipes I learned to cook from all cultures on this app. I will truly miss this app, but I cannot support this unprofessional business model

New product update is liiiiittttt

It’s Gregor on

As mentioned above, new product update is liiiiittttt. Getting Recipe recommendations based on effort/curiosity, and putting tutorial videos in-line with recommend recipe feed 🤌. Mergin the learnin & cookin

Very helpful!

Kevkle36 on

I was looking for a long time about an app that help me cook and not only show recipes. This app motivate me to learn more about cooking. Very easy to use and so helpful with portion and what to buy at the grocery store. For now there are limited number of recipes but they continue to add more and more. I took the annual subscription and it’s really worth the price.

Best app on the app store

Cheeseluva469 on

Honoured to have been one of the first 50 reviews. Too good of an app

Duolingo for cooking

Nickypooph on

If I could give it more stars I would. It’s easy to use and makes cooking fun! Would love an option to sort recipes so I can see when new ones are added. Would also love the ability to move the shopping list grouping around for my specific store’s routing.

Good app, too expensive

Douma2012 on

Really great app, the dev team killed it, however the subscription fee is way too much, would've considered it if it was around half as much.

Everything you’d need

jon doe 1964 on

I absolutely adore the little details that make this app work. The attention to detail in each aspect of the app is what really brings it together to make a one of a kind cooking app. For example, if you look at the details of a specific ingredient, it gives you substitution ideas, shopping tips, and general information. I love this so much and will definitely keep using it

Amazing app!!

potato the Jeff on

This app is awesome for beginner cooks such as myself, especially as I transition to a time in my life where I must cook my own meals. I do wish that there were captions on the video modules however to make it more accessible because right now they are kind of hard to understand to me 😭😭
