With over 20 million users and almost a five-star rating, Yummly is one of the most used apps in the cooking sphere. Oh, and did we mention that it&#8217;s free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are over two million recipes to choose from, all ranging from breakfast to side dishes. The app allows users to save their favorite recipes, and meal plans for the home, and it comes with educational articles on all things food. After using Yummly, users are going to feel prepared for any kind of cooking competition!

After not knowing what some of the cooking terms meant (i.e. blanch, mincing&#8230;), SideChef was created. With SideChef, those in the kitchen will be told what to do every step of the way and how to do it. There are over 18,000 recipes on the app but there&#8217;s more to it than recipe browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/HD-uvKjgokzyM7l_s7hXsqh5y8XoDGDqviMFMExyGOS_oNv08krWBsoCSeqfYRXmRgsM521zfTGZkd6CKoO6e2L1o9WzYCyx2ErzbRKvdcGFSk1yDNCiMhmQx0Cdz-F9AX5ED1gs21pw-XQJUQ\" alt=\"\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/HD-uvKjgokzyM7l_s7hXsqh5y8XoDGDqviMFMExyGOS_oNv08krWBsoCSeqfYRXmRgsM521zfTGZkd6CKoO6e2L1o9WzYCyx2ErzbRKvdcGFSk1yDNCiMhmQx0Cdz-F9AX5ED1gs21pw-XQJUQ\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>Tasty<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tasty app was created by BuzzFeed and has over 4,000 unique recipes that users can browse through. With help of fun and colorful videos, users can see what their meal should look like every step of the way (along with a written explanation, of course) before sitting down and enjoying while watching a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iOS and Android apps also allow users to filter through recipes for what they&#8217;re in the mood for or what they want to exclude from their diet. Based on what recipes users click on or are interested in, other recipes will be recommended. What&#8217;s cooler is that the app has a &#8220;what&#8217;s in your kitchen?&#8221; feature that allows users to find recipes based on what they have at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li><strong>BBC Good Food<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on BBC Good Food magazine, the app is free to use and offers the same kind of elegance and assistance that the magazine does. There are over 13,000 recipes that iOS and Android users can browse through and the screen even locks on the recipe so that users don&#8217;t need to use a passcode or use Face ID to get back to where they were. What&#8217;s cooler is that if users also have Amazon Alexa, they can sync the app to Alexa!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooking has never been easier with the help of technology.
