5 ways recipe apps can spice up your cooking

RECIPE WEBSITES AND APPS YOU MIGHT LIKE If you’re looking for recipe sites and apps to test-drive — aside from go-tos Pinterest, TikTok and YouTube — here are some you may find appealing: •

ALLRECIPES. This website offers an enormous collection of recipes, all searchable by dish or ingredient. You can also browse by popularity. Check out the air fryer section, kitchen tips,

world cuisine and much more. Creating a free log-in allows you to designate favorite recipes and create shopping lists. The free iOS and Android app is called Allrecipes Dinner Spinner. •

EPICURIOUS. One of the oldest collections is also widely considered one of the best. You can browse by recipes and complete menus, such as for a dinner party, holiday celebration or special

event. You’ll also find expert advice and plenty of high-quality videos. Epicurious has a free app, designed for iPads, available in the Apple App Store; its Android app was retired several

years ago. • FOOD NETWORK. As you might expect, these recipes are tied to the cable TV channel, including top picks from celebrity chefs, recipe developers, editors and producers. Along

with recipes, the site has shareable articles, video tutorials and behind-the-scenes looks at many of your favorite shows. The Food Network Kitchen app for iOS and Android allows you to

search recipes for free, but access to video content, including ad-free Food Network shows and on-demand cooking classes, costs $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year. • YUMMLY. In addition to

articles, recipes and a meal planner, Yummly offers recipe recommendations based on your specific tastes, nutritional needs and skill level. A pantry section will generate suggestions based

on ingredients you have handy. Find links to the free Yummly Recipes & Cooking Tools app for iOS and Android by clicking on the ... MORE section of the website’s left rail. You also

might want to check out the following options. The websites are generally free, but you may have to pay to use some apps or access some of their features. BBC GOOD FOOD has awesome photos, 

BIGOVEN offers more than 1 million recipes, COOKPAD is a social-friendly platform, KITCHEN STORIES offers a serving-size converter, the PAPRIKA RECIPE MANAGER 3 app has some free features in

its Android version but an upfront cost of $4.99 in the Apple App Store, the SIDECHEF website and apps have some free material, and TASTY.CO offers a totally free website and apps with

recipes and kitchen hacks. _Bon appétit!_
