Cookery for Mac showing a recipe library beside a complete French macarons recipe

From text to context

A saved recipe is useful.
A recipe Cookery understands is better.

Cookery finds relationships inside the recipe, so the information you need can appear exactly when you need it.

Cookery's three-column Mac interface with tags, recipes, and a complete recipe

Filter with tags
Narrow a large library without losing sight of the recipes inside it.
Browse in context
Compare titles, photos, ratings, sources, and cooking times at a glance.
Read the full recipe
Ingredients and instructions stay open while the rest of your collection remains close.

Made for the way recipes reach your Mac

Bring it in. Clean it up. Make it yours.

Save from your browser

Use Cookery from Safari or the macOS Share menu to import from nearly any recipe site. A recipe arrives as an editable recipe—not a bookmark you have to decipher later.

When that recipe blog is lost to time, the recipe remains.

Your recipe.
