What is Cookpad?
Share and discover recipes made by home cooks like yourself. Cookpad offers a uniquely social and secure space to search and save recipes, post your own dishes and photos, or privately share with friends and family in our new chat feature.
Looking for recipes? Cookpad has a vast selection to choose from—main courses, appetizers, beverages, sides, desserts, ethnic dishes, soups, stews, and diet-friendly options. Whether for everyday cooking or special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas, simply search by the ingredients you have or the dish you want to make, then start cooking at home! When you try a recipe, share your creation with the author by posting a photo and recommending it to other Cookpad users.
Cooking Diary. If you grant Cookpad access to your phone's photos, the app will display your cooking photos from the past three years alongside your saved and posted recipes. Relive what you cooked this time in previous years, share photos with family or friends in chats, and plan this week’s meals!
Post Recipes. Users can publish their own recipes on Cookpad. The recipes don’t need to be fancy—that’s another reason Cookpad stands out. Shared by real people cooking at home, each recipe includes clear steps and helpful photos.
Private Recipes. Keep your recipes handy anytime. If you prefer not to publish them but want them all in one place, simply save without posting. You can still share them via Cookpad Chat with friends and family, without other users seeing them.
Chat and Share. Cookpad eliminates the loneliness of cooking. In Cookpad Chat, share recipes, cooking moments, memories, photos, tips, and questions in real time—one-on-one or in groups. Your private space to talk about food.
