Browse recipes

New recipes from home kitchens, all in one place.

Filter recipes by meal type

Breakfast, main course, desserts and more. Pick what suits you.

Filter recipes by calories

From the Search page, show recipes whose calories (per serving) are under a value you choose, sorted from lowest to highest. For example: recipes under 400 calories per serving.

Try the recipe

Adjust the servings

Change the number of servings and the ingredient amounts change with it automatically, in kitchen fractions like ½ and ¼.

Nutrition per serving

The vast majority of recipes show calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and fiber per serving, calculated automatically from our own ingredient database.

Cook step by step

Tap ingredients and steps to tick them off as you cook. Your progress is saved even if you close the app.

Cook mode

Cook mode is built to make following any recipe easy, step by step, with a timer if you need one. Open it from the recipe page to see the steps, one for each screen in clear type, and the screen stays awake while you cook. You can set a timer on any step and pull up the ingredients list from the bottom at any time. The ticks on steps and ingredients are the same ones on the recipe page.

Shopping list

Turn any recipe into a shopping list at your serving count, mark what you already have, then share it.

Share your recipe

Publish your recipe with photos

Add a main photo for the recipe and one for each step, so others can see how it turns out.

Drafts

Save your recipe as a draft. It stays private until you publish it.

Share by link

Send your recipe easily to anyone you know. It opens in the AnaChef app, or in the browser if they don't have the app.

Real measures

Pick the ingredient from our database and enter the amount in grams, millilitres, or kitchen measures like cup, spoon and piece, depending on the ingredient.
