So here's my take on SideChef: Recipes & Meal Plans. I've tested a bunch of recipe and cooking apps, and this one's pretty solid. The sheer number of recipes is impressive, and I like that you can filter them to find stuff you actually want to make. And the grocery list and shopping integrations are super convenient too. On the downside, the app can be a little buggy and the UI is not the most intuitive. But overall, it's a great option if you're looking to level up your home cooking game.

Description

Been using SideChef: Recipes & Meal Plans for a couple months now. It’s basically a cooking app that’s got tons of recipes – over 18,000 of them! Pretty solid if you’re into trying new dishes and want some easy meal ideas.

Here’s what you do: you can filter recipes by diet, allergies, and ingredients you already have. There’s also a grocery list feature that lets you shop for ingredients directly through Walmart and Amazon Fresh. Took me a while to figure that out but it’s super handy.

Look, if you’re into cooking and trying new recipes, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a little clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to expand your culinary horizons.
