Best Recipe Apps of 2016
With mostly everyone using smartphones today to do tasks like send text messages, make phone calls, perform banking transactions and playing mobile games, it only makes sense to have cooking apps too. Whether you are brand-new to the world of cooking, or you are a seasoned veteran in the cooking world, there is an app out there for you. Here are some of the best recipe apps of 2016.
BigOven– The BigOven app is compatible with Android, iOS and Windows phones. It is a free app, but you can upgrade to use more of the features for $2.50 a month or $20 a year. This app is ideal for those who love saving hand-written recipes. The BigOven app features more than 250,000 recipes for you to browse through.
Paprika– The Paprika app is compatible with Android and iOS phones. The app is $5 for both the Android and iOS phones. This recipe app is great for those who love to spend time on the Pinterest site. The Paprika app allows you to “clip” your favorite recipes from Pinterest, or anywhere else online. Then, you can take those recipes and organize them into folders.
Pepperplate– The Pepperplate app is compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, Amazon and Nook devices. The app is free on all Android, iOS, Windows, Amazon and Nook devices. This app is perfect for those who like to take their tablet with them in the kitchen while they are cooking. The Pepperplate app has a cool feature where you don’t need to be connected while you are cooking, since it allows for offline access. The app also has built-in timers and large views for tablets.
Food Network in the Kitchen– The Food Network in the Kitchen app is compatible with Android and iOS phones. The app is free on all Android and iOS phones. This app is ideal for those who love watching the Food Network Channel. The Food Network in the Kitchen app features loads of recipes from your favorite Food Network celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, Paula Deana, Guy Fieri and Ayesha Curry.
Garden Plate- The Garden Plate app is compatible with Android and iOS phones. The app is free to download on all Android and iOS phones, but will cost you $1.99 to be able to access the full content of the app. The Garden Plate app is great for those who follow a vegetarian lifestyle, but really, anyone can use the app. On the app, you will find a ton of healthy vegetarian recipes, although you can also add meat to them if you want.
What is your favorite recipe app?
I haven’t heard of any of these apps! I think I am most intrigued by the Garden Plate. I am slowly trying to learn more about vegetarianism. I want to be aware of what I’m putting in my body!
I’m all about trying new recipes. Thanks for sharing these apps for finding new recipes.
I have never used a recipe app before because I use pinterest for new recipes. Big Oven is one that I would be interested in checking out.
I love these, I had no idea you could get an app for recipes on! I don’t think I would do anything else all day so maybe I shouldn’t download them haha
I dont have any recipe apps, but think it would be a great idea to get some. I am always looking for new and exciting recipes for my family!
I can never get the Food Network one to work for me the right way. I’ll have to look into some of these other ones.
There are several here that I’ve never heard of so I’ll definitely be checking them out. I love a good food app for sure!
I have so many recipe apps on my phone! I would definitely delete a bunch for this one! It looks great and has a ton of choices!

I didn’t know about any of these apps. Thanks for the info on them I may go check them out!
I’ve never used a recipe app. I come from an Italian family so most of my cooking is on the fly. I typically use recipes for inspiration and then do my own thing.
I’ve never used a recipe app before. I’ll have to check these out. Although, I’m not inclined to have to pay for one. I really don’t like that about apps, where you have to pay to use certain features.
I haven’t used any of these recipe apps. They all look really awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I had so many recipe apps on my ipad but these are some new ones. I need to download the new Food Network App thanks for sharing.

I hadn’t even thought about using an app for recipes but now I love the idea!! I’m definitely going to check them out – I’m especially interested in Garden Plate since I’m trying to cut back on meat and eat healthier!
Food Network in the kitchen sounds interest. I never watched any shows, but I own a couple of cookbooks from their celebrity chefs and it would be nice to have access to even more recipes from them.
I’ve never heard of most of these. Thanks for writing this post.
The Paprika app sounds so useful and neat! I hate having to scroll through my entire Pinterest board just to find the recipe I want. Pinned, and I will be downloading the Paprika app soon!
I like big oven but I really prefer my trusted cook books! Old school, I know but I love the feeling of pulling out a book signing associated with good memories!
I use so many recipe apps. I stopped for a while and used Pinterest, but now I’m back to using apps and pinterest. So many good ideas!
Wow, such lovely recommendations. Never used these apps. I use Pinterest to collect and try recipes. So Paprika will be a great choice for me!
