This cooking app works like a community. It has more than 60,000 registered users sharing their recipes with the rest every day. It offers a very functional and simple interface. At the moment of opening the application, we are going to come across a menu to choose what type of recipe we want to prepare. We can choose, for example, traditional food, with Thermomix, with microwave, with pressure cooker... Then we can indicate what we want to cook: rice, salads, fish, pasta, meat, desserts... You can also search for recipes by ingredient or name.

Another great Recipe Book option is that it will allow you to enter new recipes.Only with text or photos, which you can then send via email or share with your friends through social networks. All of them will be able to rate your creations and comment on them. But the big feature, no sweat, plus it's completely free, is its always-on keep screen feature.

Hatcook

On some occasions, if not every day, you may have asked yourself: what can I cook today? It is quite difficult to have original ideas if we have to cook 365 days a year. In addition, it is possible that on many occasions you have wanted to start cooking a dish, but you have not felt like leaving home to buy ingredients that you were missing. The solution comes from Hatcook,a complete cooking application that offers us recipes based on the ingredients we have.

Its operation is very simple. To get started, it will be necessary to click on the search button. Located in the upper right. This will lead us to activate a filter by ingredient. In this way, we will be able to specify the foods that we already have in the kitchen: peppers, tomatoes, rice, onion, pasta... The application will give you the possibility of filtering by season, cooking time, country or difficulty. By following these parameters in a short time you will have located your perfect recipe for that day. It is available for iOS or Android.

Another of the cooking applications that we recommend is Nestlé Cocina. It is a very simple app to use and with a very friendly interface. With it you can plan and create your meals and recipes in a pleasant and intuitive way.Nestlé Cocina has a "Menu Planner" (menu planning). Thanks to it, you will no longer have to think about what to cook the next day or during the weekends when your friends come.
