How often do you eat out? While it might be convenient, it’s not the best health-wise.

For one thing, the food is often loaded with sodium and calories. Not to mention that the costs can add up as well!

Given that, you might want to consider making the meals yourself. Not sure how to get started? No worries — there are many apps out there that can help.

Interested in giving it a try? Want to know what some of the best cooking apps are?

If so, you’re on the right page. Keep reading to learn more!

Benefits of Cooking Your Own Meals 

People who cook at home tend to consume less sugar, fat, and carbohydrates. In other words, it puts them at a lower risk of obesity — one of the leading causes of death in the U.S.

On top of that, it gives you more control. For example, you can customize the portion size and ingredients — something that you can’t do as easily when you’re eating out.

Last, but not least, it can be fun. In fact, it’s a great destresser — this has to do with the fact that it doubles as a creative outlet!

9 of the Best Cooking Apps That You Should Try 

Nowadays, there’s pretty much an app for everything. For example, there are apps like Endurance that’ll extend the battery of your Macbook and those that’ll let you tune your guitar.

Considering this, it’s not surprising to know that there are also apps you can use for cooking! Here are some of our top picks.

1. Kitchen Stories 

Kitchen Stories is one of the best cooking apps that you can use. Available for both iOS and Android devices, it offers plenty of recipes, all of which come with photo instructions.

As if that wasn’t enough, there are also recipe videos that explain things step-by-step. That way, anyone can follow along and create the same dish!

Did we also mention that it’s free to use?

2. Epicurious

Epicurious was named one of the best mobile apps by TIME Magazine in 2011. Released in 2009, it offers thousands of recipes, all of which are available for free.

What’s more, is that you can save them to your “Recipe Box” with just a tap! If you want, you can even use the app to create your shopping list. That way, you’ll know exactly what ingredients you need to get.

3. How to Cook Everything 

How to Cook Everything is an app that’s created by Mark Bittman, a New York Times food columnist. Not only are there thousands of recipes, but there are also hundreds of how-to illustrations.

In addition, there are self-guided classes that you can watch to teach yourself various cooking skills. Just keep in mind that it does come with a small price tag ($9.99).

4. SideChef 

SideChef integrates how-to videos with step-by-step recipes, which makes it easy to use for home cooks of all levels. Not only do they provide more than 4,000 recipes, but the platform also offers a rotating selection of tips of techniques.

Perhaps the greatest feature of all, however, is the hands-free setting. Put it simply, it allows you to use the app even if your hands are covered in ingredients.

5. Project Foodie 

Project Foodie is a video-based recipe app that’s created by The Meatball Shop’s Daniel Holzman. Known as the “cookbook of the future”, it provides plenty of tips and recipes that cover everything from the most basic to the more complex.

Holzman also hosts in-app classes that’ll keep you engaged—all for free!

6. Cookpad 

Cookpad is a social media platform that allows you to exchange recipes with others. You can post your own recipe, upload your own pictures of the cooked dish, and more.

In addition to that, you can create and join group chats. That way, you can easily swap tips and tricks with the rest of the community.

7. Yummly

Yummly is a mobile app that provides recipe recommendations based on your unique taste. For example, you can filter by ingredient, allergy, or calories.

Click on any recipe and you’ll be able to see the reviews that others have left. The app will also suggest similar dishes so that you can continue your search further if you want.

8. Green Kitchen 

Green Kitchen is a cooking app that’s geared toward vegetarians. It contains a massive library of recipes, many of which are also gluten-free.

The instructions are easy to understand and there are also photos included of each step. The only thing is that it’s currently only available for iOS devices.

9. Youmiam

Youmiam is a cooking app that allows you to share your own recipes. Perfect for foodies, it comes with an advanced search function that lets you find recipes based on your cooking skills or the ingredients that you have.

It even comes with an offline mode so that you can access your favorite recipes at any time—even if you’re not connected to the internet. Plus, it’s free!

Cooking Your Own Meals 

And there we have it — nine of the best cooking apps. As you can see, there are quite a few of them that you can try.

Most are also free so you won’t have to pay anything — you just have to download it from the app store and away you go!
