Food inspiration
Yummy Recipes and Shopping List gives you access to millions of recipes. Rather than being overwhelmed by so much information, though, the app makes the content easy to discover and digest. Once you find a recipe you like, you can add the ingredients to a shopping list.
Plan around ingredients
Yummly takes on some of the hard work when it comes to thinking up new dishes and planning meals.
The app lets you search for recipes and save them all in one place. What makes this particularly useful is that you can tell the app your dietary requirements, such as vegan or a nut allergy. The recipes you see will be relevant to those requirements, which makes this resource a time-saver.
Once you set your preferences, you can search by ingredient. If you have a vegetable that needs using or a favorite food that you want to experiment with, Yummly helps you find recipes to cook with what you have. After you add the recipe to your shopping list, you’ll receive suggestions for ways to use the other ingredients, so food doesn’t go to waste.
The more you use the app, the more it adjusts to your preferences. This is a great way to find recipes customized to your taste and needs. Yummly also organizes for you. apart from adding ingredients to your shopping list, you can also schedule a meal to your calendar and be reminded when it’s time to cook. The recipes are simple, and you can plan by portion size and nutrition information.
The multi-purpose nature of the app does come with a drawback. The screen can become cluttered rather quickly, even if you’re viewing just one section of the app, like a shopping list.
Where can you run this program?
Yummly requires iOS 12.0 and above for use.
Is there a better alternative?
No. If you want straight-up recipes, this is the app. If you’re looking for a more social experience, try BigOven.
