The Recipe Book App

The Recipe Book brings your recipes, meal plans, shopping lists and food diary together.

Save recipes from website links, shared text and recipe photos. Keep source links attached, review imported ingredients and instructions, and cook from a clear reading layout with short numbered steps. On supported devices, transcribe selected audio or video files with Apple on-device speech recognition, then review the recipe before saving.

Plan and cook:
- Organize recipes by lists, tags, difficulty and time.
- Plan meals for the week.
- Build grocery lists grouped by section.
- Track pantry staples.
- Scale recipes and use cooking timers.
- Sync private recipes through your iCloud account.
- Send a recipe copy or publish a public recipe link you can stop sharing.

Track food:
- Log calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat by day and meal.
- Enter food manually or choose from offline reference foods.
- Analyze a food photo, scan a supported barcode or read a nutrition label on your device.
- Confirm the food and portion, edit nutrition totals, and review diary history.
- Remember products you have confirmed for future offline barcode lookup.
- Optionally export confirmed nutrition to Apple Health.

Food identification and nutrition-label processing run locally. Apple Intelligence photo identification requires a compatible, available vision model; local Vision and manual entry provide alternatives. Photo matching covers a limited offline catalog. A photo does not measure a meal's weight or hidden ingredients, so confirm portions and values before logging. Unknown barcodes need a label scan or manual values.

The food diary stays on this device and does not sync with recipes. Food photos are not uploaded or kept in the diary. Apple Health export is optional and off for new entries; it writes only calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat, without reading your Health records.

The Recipe Book is free, with no in-app purchases, subscriptions or third-party advertising.
