Description

Tired of cooking the same 3 meals on repeat? Zest integrates a mind-blowing cooking education into your routine. Learn to cook with us through step-by-step explanations of foundational cooking concepts in fewer than 10 minutes and dishes that bring the concept to life. Our recipes are created by two former Michelin star chefs, distilled by a home chef, and cooked by you, the superstar home cook that you are (or will be). We don't assume any prior culinary knowledge. We meet you where you are and help you improve. Stop copying traditional recipes - start learning from Zest. We've cooked those delicious Bon Appetit dinners. But when we took away the recipes we felt like lost puppies. Zest is designed to teach you the how's and why's of cooking. So when the recipe is gone you can confidently navigate the kitchen. The promise: Taste improvement after one dinner with Zest. FEATURES: STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS We've all tried cooking a TikTok recipe. You rewatch the video 13 times to figure out what the hell is going on. Zest embeds videos throughout recipes so you can click into content when you need it. No more pausing and restarting. Learn at your own pace. CONCEPT VIDEOS Watch a short video on a new concept at your own pace and then cook recipes that reinforce what you've learned. We dive into topics like the science of tasting and the basics of seasoning, sautéing, roasting and more! SKILL VIDEOS Don't know how to dice an onion? Don't be embarrassed, we got you covered. Skill videos are linked in each recipe to guide you along, so you don't have to watch Gordon Ramsey on YouTube (we love his accent too). CURATED MENU Choose a menu to fit your preferences. Tired of wasting produce? Search for dishes including what’s already in your fridge. Got allergies? Compile safe recipes in your menu to find them when you’re ready to get cooking. GROCERY LIST Shop your menu with our automated grocery list. Plus, utilize our helpful tips while you shop. Don't know what a neutral oil is? We got you covered. PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS Rate the recipes you cook, so we can recommend similar ones. Feedback? Technical Issues? Killer ideas you want to contribute to make our app better? Email us at support@zestapp.co. We're always here to help and would love to chef up new ideas together!

  • From Freemium to Subscription Only

    Initially I would have rated this app a 5 star. Instead, they decided to severely limit free users and switch to a “5 recipes only and then you must subscribe” model. I absolutely despise apps that disguise themselves as free and then make you pay a subscription to even use the app. Horrible decision and as a result I hope this app tanks. Good riddance.
  • An app that insults…

    Did you really call lactose intolerant people frauds? “Intolefrauds” to be specific. Do you have a real culinary background? Or do scientific research?
  • App won’t even open.

    A bit disappointed because I had seen an ad for the app and I haven’t even been able to use the app, as it crashes immediately upon opening. I reinstalled it and everything but it still crashes. I’m seeing all these positive reviews and makes me wonder if they faked these reviews 🙃
  • pretty great

    I’d love the app, it helps me a lot, but I would love it if they put the amount of calories and a category of healty dishes
  • Not worth your time

    Another app where you have to pay to use. Main reason for one star is how they word the questions & answers, it’s like they want you to fail. Here’s a question & answer from the app “experienced sushi eaters mix a bit of wasabi in with their soy sauce because…” answer: “they don’t know what they’re doing.” There’s many questions and answers set up like this, like they want you to fail so the only way to level up is to buy into the app to have more options. Good idea of an app but poorly executed.

    I just cooked my first meal and it was a hit! I still had issues with some things, like my own distractibility. But, I think this will help my major cooking anxiety and I’ve already learned some helpful basics. The detailed shopping list with substitutions was so great. And the simplicity! Every step was broken down and there were several tiny how-to videos covering nearly every little question and insecurity I had as I cooked. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the subscription.

    I got this app a while back. Very upset that everything is locked now if you don’t pay for a subscription. I understood having some locked because you have to make money, but the fact that even simple mac and cheese is locked is wild. Even Duolingo has free options.
  • First time loved it!!
