Food Network Kitchen

Perfect for: busy home cooks

Food Network Kitchen has only been around since the end of 2019, but over its still short lifespan, it has become a strong player in the culinary app game.

The app belongs to Discovery and its CEO of Global Direct-to-Consumer, Peter Faricy, has revealed that from the get-go, Food Network Kitchen got a lot of positive feedback and that the network was planning on continuing to invest in its growth.

Not only does the app give you access to more than 80,000 recipes, but you can also attend over 50 live classes per week and even choose to all the ingredients you need to be delivered fresh to your door. 

Oh She Glows

Perfect for: vegans and vegetarians

If you eat a plant-based diet exclusively, you might struggle to find an app that focuses solely on this regimen but we have good news: Oh She Glows is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Created by New York Times best-selling author, Angela Liddon, this app includes more than 140 plant-based recipes (and 120 of those are also gluten-free).

It also provides nutritional details about each ingredient, so that you know exactly what you’re feeding your body. 

Tasty

Perfect for: people who want to try a bit of everything

We all know Tasty. We’ve all seen their videos with the (once) unique overhead style on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube.

Given the success they achieved, Buzzfeed decided to expand its food network and that’s when this app was born.

With thousands of recipes fit for all sorts of dietary regimens, difficulty, cuisine, and even social plans, Tasty is the perfect app to download if you like to experiment with your meals.

SuperFood

Perfect for: health food lovers

If you’re all about counting calories and tracking your nutritional intakes, SuperFood is the right app for you.

SuperFood includes plenty of simple, healthy recipes, and you can filter them to vegetarian, vegan, high-protein, low-fat, or low-carb. Additionally, it has a portion calculator and a calorie counter to help you make sure you reach all your goals.

All of this, for free!

SideChef

Perfect for: meal preppers

Meal prepping is a great habit to adopt but it can be tricky to organize, especially for beginners — and that’s exactly why SideChef is such a useful app.

Not only does it include over 16 thousand recipes, but it has a meal planning tool and it allows you to find recipes tailored to your dietary regimen, cuisine, and even to what you already have in your pantry.

Besides this, SideChef also allows you to order ingredients directly from the app, which are then delivered through AmazonFresh.
