It'll ask questions like what cuisines are your favorites, what foods you dislike, and select items for a virtual pantry. The app starts out by asking you to set your personal tastes and nutritional preferences, so it can create a profile for you and find matching recipes. You can even see what ingredients are on sale near you and get recipe ideas when you walk into select stores. You might also get step-by-step videos to walk you through the recipe, and save your favorites and grocery lists. You can also manually search by keyword, ingredients to include or exclude, dietary needs, or how long it takes to prepare. For example, when spinning and getting Bread for the Dish Type, Legumes for the Ingredient, and 45 minutes for the Ready In Time, three matches come up for Ecuadorian Huevos Rancheros, Chickpea and Grape Muffins, and Chickpea Cinnamon Pancakes, all recipes not likely to be on your radar. If you aren't sure what to cook, this app has a really neat feature: Shake your device, and options will scroll across the screen like a slot machine to provide inspiration. If a recipe has a 4-star or above rating with at least a few hundred reviews, you can pretty much guarantee it will be foolproof. The app leverages the 30 million home cooks in the AllRecipes user base, and is one of my favorites when searching for recipes.

However, if I want to use my Instant Pot, I'll go to Copy Me That, although you can use it for any kinds of recipes you want to keep organized. Or maybe I subbed in one ingredient for another and want to remember this modification for next time since the results were amazing. For example, I might realize a recipe from the web is great but I'd like to add less sugar. It's easy to search, rename, and even adjust ingredients or instructions based on your own personal tweaks. This includes both your own recipes, complete with a photo of the finished dish, as well as ones you pull from the web. I have used it for years and love how simple it is to not only load new recipes, but keep all of your recipes organized in one place. Paprika Recipe Manager 3 is my hands-down favorite recipe app. Why you can trust Android Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you.
