Description

Do you love cookbooks? Us, too. That's why we created CookShelf, the app that helps you make the most of your cookbook collection, and cook from the books you already own. Got too much zucchini in the summer, and an excess of cabbage in winter? Or are you just trying to find that one Bolognese recipe you love and make every year, but can *never* remember which book it’s in? Quickly find recipes across your cookbooks that use what you already have – no more forgotten vegetables wilting in your crisper drawer. Simply search by ingredient, dish type, or whatever you're craving, and CookShelf shows exactly which cookbook has what you need and what page it's on. CookShelf is built for home cooks who love real cookbooks and real creators. Set a goal for how many cookbook recipes you'll cook this year, track your progress, and look back at everything you've made. We bridge the gap between physical cookbooks and digital convenience – because the best recipes are already on your shelf. ◆ Instantly search across your cookbooks and thousands of online recipes ◆ Find recipes based on what's in your fridge ◆ See ingredients lists before opening your books ◆ Track your cooking: bookmark recipes, mark what you've cooked, add photos and notes, and look back at your cooks timeline ◆ Set a cooking goal and watch your progress grow throughout the year ◆ Reduce food waste: use up CSA box ingredients before they spoil ◆ Finally cook from those cookbooks you love but rarely open ◆ Over 15,000 cookbooks indexed ◆ Included with your Eat Your Books Premium membership – and your library syncs Join thousands of home cooks who are rediscovering the treasures in their cookbook collections every day. HOW DOES IT WORK? CookShelf includes both a free version and a Premium subscription. The free version lets you add up to 5 cookbooks and use all of CookShelf's features for those books – search, bookmarking, cooking goals, and tracking. Premium unlocks your full collection: ◆ Add unlimited cookbooks ◆ Search across your entire library and over 15,000 indexed titles You can start a free trial to access Premium. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you'll be automatically charged the price shown on the payment screen for your chosen plan. Your CookShelf Premium subscription renews automatically each month or year until you cancel. Canceling disables the automatic renewal, but you'll keep full access through the end of your current period. Note that deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.

    I downloaded the app. The first three cookbooks I tried to scan were not in their library. I deleted the app.

    Such a time saver and a great way to discover recipes you haven’t tried yet by typing in an ingredient.
  • Genius App

    This app is what I have been needing for decades. It is a must for any cookbook collector. I teach themed cooking classes, and it is incredibly helpful for finding specific ingredient recipes. This is also helpful for seasonal cooking and CSA boxes.

    I am a certified cookbook addict, and this app makes it so fun and easy to use my library instead of just looking at it!
  • Amazing!

    The best app I’ve ever used. I can’t believe I lived so long without it!
  • Didn’t have the index to a lot of cookbooks

    I downloaded 26 cookbooks. Out of those 26 cookbooks only four had indexes. If you don’t have the index the cookbook is useless through the app. I put in a request for the index, but I don’t feel like paying for a useless app.
  • Very happy with this

    I understand some of the critiques of the app, such as not containing full recipes, quantities, etc. I’m sure most of that has to deal with licensing. But the fact that it categorizes my 70+ cookbooks by ingredient, and then shows both the page number (in most cases) and recipe ingredients (most of them) is a game changer for me. Definitely worth the price IMO.

    I am so happy to have found this app! I feel like I suddenly have real access to all of these great cookbooks that have been taunting me. I had actually stopped buying cookbooks, but now I know I’ll actually be able to use them again so yes, I’ll be buying new cookbooks again. On a side note, the indexing of magazines is incredible! THANK YOU for making this.

    I scanned 5 books before I got one that didn’t say not indexed. However when you open the recipe it just shows the ingredients but not how much of the ingredient or the instructions that go along with it.
