NYT Cooking Positive Reviews

Literally Life changingI am an enthusiastic cook during normal times. Living in Seattle and fortunate to be able to source great ingredients—specifically fish and shellfish just hours out of the water, meal preparation has never been a chore. But during pandemic times, even the occasional special meal “out” has been put on ice since February, due to a high risk situation that makes it really not worth the bother. So I’ve sharpened my knives, organized my pantry and soldiered on. I’m not generally a cookbook user—yes, I do collect them and subscribe to all the usual suspects on a monthly or quarterly basis, but I rely on a book or magazine more for a concept to riff on or a food trend to explore. But when I began delving into NYT Cooking—a part of my Times subscription at large, that changed. There are so many great recipes it makes it easy to cook anything and everything from a pantry pasta to the most elaborate meal and have an excellent outcome—and fun along the way. I am a lifestyle journalist, so I love the context and backstory of each recipe—reading the accompanying article is a great source of pleasure. But these recipes really work and the shopping list tool is a handy helper. In short, I’ve found an endless source of material, entertainment and great food at my fingertips. Thank you for keeping me inspired and cooking with joy! ❤️.Smitten in SeattleVersion: 4.43

Cannot beat this cookbook!Every chef will have a decent take on most recipes, which will do in a pinch. But no chef and no team is going to have the traditional recipe for every dish in every cuisine on the globe with suggestions on what you can do to make it fantastic. New York City is one of a handful of cities in which every country and ethnicity is represented. Where else can you find what is a reasonable substitute when a rare ingredient is out of season, or how to manage a hard dried stored version of a hard to find and mostly unknown ingredient? If my friend is homesick for the Singaporean Chicken and Rice she grew up on, I want to have the real thing when she gets here and I will look here. If I want to reinstate our family tradition of making sweet chile rellenos the day before a holiday and I can’t remember how much cloves to add, I am going to look here. It is possible to have a cookbook for most cuisines, but not all. But someone in NY remembers making dumplings with their mom in Tibet before the family escaped and arrived in NYC and they will contribute the recipe if someone needs it. I have not looked for every recipe I mentioned so I hope I don’t disappoint but if you need one that is not here, then ask! And it WILL be here. This is, hands down, my go to if I want the REAL recipe for…well…Anything!.MaobfhVersion: 4.55.0

This app inspiresThe NYT cooking app has given a new lease on life to my nightly dinner prep. I search the app almost every evening for inspiration about how to make a tasty meal from the random items in my fridge - that still-snowy-white cauliflower I bought a week ago, the frozen shrimp, the impulse purchase of a new harissa sauce. It never fails me. If I don’t have all the ingredients in a recipe, I don’t run to the store, but improvise. I substitute parsley for cilantro, sweet onions for leeks, or just omit. I love that all the recipes are attributed to chefs I’ve come to know from regular reading of the Times, so I can prioritize my favorites, whose tastes are a good match for my household’s. This alone makes the app far more reliable than the recipes that pop up on a random Google search. If I happen to be connected to a printer, I print a hard copy for reference in the kitchen. If not, I prop up my smart phone or tablet on the kitchen counter, fetch my ingredients from the convenient list at the top, and switch over to a news program to stave off kitchen ennui while I chop and simmer. My only complaint is that the recipes tend to underestimate prep and cooking time, so I’ve learned it’s best to allow some extra time. But the $39/year was a great expenditure..Sad 3Version: 4.8.4

Inspiration and direction for the beat up cookBC (before Covid) I looked to NYT and its amazing parade of food artists for a new idea or a new way to entertain guests or wow family (so the kids would visit more often) with new dishes or a twist on the old ones. DC (during) is making this more important than ever even if there are only the two of us in it together for the ling haul. Food is a variable when we are all starved for social stimulus and the normal variations in life that are stymied by C. Like so many, I’ve made bread for the first time—successfully—thanks to Mark Bittman and countless reader tips along with his own updates to a recipe that should be awarded the Nobel Peace prize. Who can disagree over hot bread and butter? And the perfected recipes that pop up daily or I find as I search the site have resulted from the in perfect hasslebacks, amazing skillet chops and steaks, 1137 recipes for amazing chicken dishes. Honestly, I now have a collection of food porn pictures and I never photographed anything but the beautiful cakes I made BC. I bought my sister a subscription for her birthday because every night now she wants a pix of what’s for dinner and an explanation of how to make it. Totally worth it! It’s my cooking Geritol!.Former agentVersion: 4.55.0

Almost perfectThis is my go-to place for finding and then organizing recipes. It is easy to use, and wonderful for exploring and for finding help on cooking techniques. The ability to add recipes from other online sites is a generous plus. The whole design of the app is elegant and clean. My one (minor, but...) complaint that keeps from getting this 5 stars is that the categories were added a few releases ago and I cannot override or change them. I had already set up my own categories at that point and the “enforced” ones are more numerous and also more general than I like. The Brunch category for example duplicates a category I had set up, but about 80% of our selections match—do I sort through each group and modify (tricky to do on a mobile phone!) so I can delete my old Brunch category, or do I leave both of them.....grrrr. Some of the new categories are general—Dinner for example—where I would rather set up my own according to type of food—casserole, meat, nonmeat, etc. I would like to be able to do away with the NYT defined categories altogether, but can’t see a way to do that. So I am left with all their new categories, many of my own, and lots of duplication. It’s frustrating in an otherwise well designed app. I still consider it my favorite and highly recommend it..Bj28$Version: 4.7.3

I love you.I love you. I am a mediocre cook, trapped in a pandemic, with my daughter in law ( and son) and their two new babies! This is lovely, but did I mention my daughter in law is an excellent cook and baker? Caroline DOESNT make cakes as good as Patricia! She’s amazing! Her parents were Magalise ( from Madagascar) ( I hope that’s the people, not the language!) and she slept on a shelf in the bakery as a baby. Obviously, she picked some things up! BUT she also makes delicious dinners and lunches and whatever else you want. With NYT cooking, I can sometimes fake it and produce something delicious! Like Ropa Vieja! Wonderful and impressive! Also, before we came to New Orleans to wrangle babies, I used NYT cooking to trick my used to be youngest grandchild, Jase, into putting down his phone. He was buried in it, 24/7. At 17, it was difficult to converse with him......okay, impossible. Then one day, I thought! What requires you to put down your phone! Cooking!! And I lured him into the kitchen with flank steak, peppers and onions. It was glorious! And has continued, and inspired cooking urges in Jase, even when I’m in Louisiana and he’s in Oklahoma! Thank you! I love you..Mackenzy GaleVersion: 4.83.1

Limited ContentI have used and enjoyed this app for a number of years. The recipes are usually quite good and the ability to save ones you would like to try is wonderful. This is one of my first resources when looking for a specific recipe for something like mushroom soup or chocolate soufflé. However; I have recently become very frustrated with one newly changed facet of the app. Previously, I was able to read the food articles as well as the recipes as part of my paid subscription. For example, the app will list a recipe and in its blurb would be referenced and linked a cooking column from which the recipe originated. I enjoyed reading the cooking articles and seeing the other related recipes. Now, however, the app is asking me to pay for an additional subscription to the newspaper to read these articles. This seems quite silly to me as I’m already paying for the cooking content and was previously able to read all of the cooking content for my annual subscription fee. I’m not trying to read yesterday’s front page headlines, I’m trying to read a 5 year old cooking column. This limitation has very much decreased my enjoyment and usage of the app. I am now considering dropping my cooking subscription since I can no longer access all of the ‘cooking’ content..SouthernDame2Version: 4.58.0

The recipes are incredible, the app not so muchThe recipes are so worth the money but the app is annoying to use. Anytime your phone screen goes into rest mode (dark after x minutes, whatever your setting), or you are in a different app for too long, the app refreshes you back to the main landing page. Which means you have to search for the recipe you are cooking every time you turn away from the phone. Not helpful when you may only have one finger not dirty and just want to see what ingredient goes in next. Also the saving feature is horrible. I wish they would use the same touch/responsiveness options as Pinterest say, where you can hold down on a recipe and a menu of which recipe box to save it in appears. As it is now, the first time you tap on the save button, no matter how long you hold it down, you can’t save it to an individual recipe list, just your general bookmarks. You must then press and hold on the tiny banner for it to then ask you if you want to save it onto a recipe box, then you go through to find which one. Makes creating quick recipe lists really laborious. I love these recipes so much, that’s the only reason I’m begging for some UI changes!.Garol NorthbrotherVersion: 4.10.2

Good app, not perfect, great recipesI started using this app when I became the primary cook in the house and realized I didn’t know how to cook many things that were suitable for a whole family rather than just a young bachelor. I find the recipe variety to be great with a good mix of simple and complicated, and a variety of cuisines to choose from. The moderated community notes are a great addition to most recipes that can help you tweak a recipe in a direction more to your taste or warn you of common pitfalls that may lie ahead. My only gripe with this app (and it doesn’t keep this from being a five star review) is that the interface and what you can or can’t do with it sometimes leaves some things to be desired. The inability to navigate to a recipe directly from the grocery list is baffling to me. That said, improvements are continually made and it’s clear they’re made with an eye to satisfying the needs of cooks actually in the kitchen. I would be genuinely surprised if someone told me they tried this app and were disappointed enough not to keep using it..Dixon: EngieIRLVersion: 4.91.2

Fabulous Cauliflower Lemon & Dill recipe, quick & ezFabulous dish! It was hard not to get a second helping. I made this for a quick late dinner tonight, with the following mods: I steamed the cauliflower 5 mins 1st, because we wanted to eat it right away. I cut the oil to just 1/3 C & it was plenty! I love them so I used extra scallions, 5 stalks. I was out of parsley, so I cut up the same amount of wild (tender & small) arugula. It was a lovely addition, without harm to the deliciousness of this recipe. I used 5 big cloves of “pressed” garlic, and added an extra 1/2 of a lemon’s juice. I was also out of jalepeño, but a large pinch of red chili flakes gave it flavor & a touch of heat. I also added 1 Tbsp of capers & about 1/4 tsp of the caper juice from the jar. It was a tasty addition. Fresh dill was ruined from the heat (pity) but used 1/3 C + of freshly dried & it was nice & dill-y! Delish! Easy. Quick. I highly recommend this new-to-me Melissa Clark recipe! Even as is, I can tell it would’ve been amazing too! It’s going into regular rotation ❤️ & next time I may add some steamed brown rice to round out this for a plant-based meal! Enjoy!.Annie MooreVersion: 4.65.0

Thus covers it allNew York Times recipe app has changed the way I search for recipes. By that I mean, it’s the only recipe resource that I need. Gone are the days of recipe book to recipe book to website to website. They have made things so effortless. If you are a big recipe hunter you will love what this app has to offer. These are not just recipes from your domestic divas that you might follow. You will find chefs from all over the world. Some you will know of and many more to discover and love. You can save a recipe on the recipe page or even from the page of recipes before you even open it. It has an option to look at recently viewed recipes which is great. Sometimes I like to take different things from several different recipes and don’t want to print them all so I go to recently viewed and just flip back and forth. I also enjoy the reviewers. Most are smart, fun and add an extra layer of learning. I have always loved to cook but didn’t realize that I could enjoy it even more but I definitely do..Mybear2dayVersion: 4.94.2

Worth the subscription!I dragged my feet for years because I hate signing up for things because so many companies make it hard to cancel. NYT made so much of their COVID coverage for free so I found myself on their site a lot and received their emails so I figured I would give the NYT Cooking app a try. I have tried so many cooking apps over the years and haven’t really kept using them but my trial is up and now I don’t know that I want to give up NYT Cooking! I really like how the ingredients and prep are on different tabs, so that I don’t have to scroll. I find the reviews are really helpful too, as some people will post a twist or advice about achieving best results. The pictures are great and I really appreciate how to app stays lit so that I don’t have to touch my phone with dirty hands while I’m cooking. Its easy to bookmark recipes to save for later and offers an easy filter or free form text search. They really couldn’t make it easier unless they came to my house and did it for me, thank you NYT!.SndptyinsdVersion: 4.16.3

THE go-to for food!You have to understand that this app is a lot more than a collection of excellent recipes. It’s a talk show, a set of instruction videos, a daily food essay that gets you excited to be back in the kitchen ASAP. AND a collection of recipes from the best of the best. OK - so - there are just a few things that may be less than perfect. 1) I have to go elsewhere for Mexican food (REAL Mexican food) which happens to be my personal yum. I lived in Mexico and know how amazing that food can be - the fresh fruit batidos, the aguas, the taqueria salsas, the rich mole sauces, the soups with squash flowers.... 2) The recipe book can be difficult to manipulate. Deleting recipes from it is not intuitive. I’d love more options - like easily making up a set of recipes for a dinner party then dissolving (or back-filing) the set when the party’s over. Or saving a recipe with my personal fiddles and edits attached. But I LOVE this app, this daily inspiration. And - hey - my family and friends now believe I’m a good cook! Where did THAT come from? Guess!.Oma DaiVersion: 4.14.3

Creative and reliableI own (too) many cookbooks, but since this service got into high gear the books are languishing on the shelves. The range is broad, the instructions clear, the outcomes generally satisfying. The app uses simple computer techniques for searching and grouping and filing very effectively, and having your own virtual Recipe Box to which you can add your own comments is handy indeed. The prep times are sometimes understated, and sometimes I disagree with the relative proportions, but the differences have not been serious and even a mildly experienced cook can handle the details with relative ease. Users’ comments are welcomed and archived, so you can easily benefit from other cooks’ experiences and creative suggestions. If a recipe has been on the website for a while you can often discover through the comments extremely helpful nuances and techniques. And the recipes include a broad variety of cuisines, making for some fun and delicious new dishes for the family table. Thank you, New York Times..Wordsmith 001Version: 4.21.0

A Truly Excellent ProductWhy would you pay for a subscription for recipes if you can find lots of free recipes online? Because these are the best dang recipes you’ve ever tasted, and are written and illustrated and explained by people who know what the heck they are doing. No searching through pages and pages mom blogs—packed with so many ads that your browser crashes—to end up with a mediocre meal at the end of it all. This stuff tastes fantastic, and the app runs very smoothly. Also, there are new recipes being added every day, including FANTASTIC suggestions that show up before holidays and at different seasons, so that you can have incredible stuff on the table for Thanksgiving, Chinese New Year, Kwanza, Memorial Day, or whatever else you celebrate. I’ve loved every minute of it for the half year that I’ve had my subscription, and I plan on keeping it forever. I am blown away by the quality of this product..DontshortthevixVersion: 4.79.0

TransformativeOf course we all know the NYT to be a fantastic (and for some people the only) source. When my spouse began working overnight and we added the Instapot and Braun hand mixers to our tiny San Francisco apartment - this resource became a necessary replacement for about 85% of our spontaneous dining out adventures. I love how readers (chefs) can comment directly on the recipe or ingredients (worth 2 stars). I also love how this can be nearly added to your personal journaling or self care routines (worth another 2 stars). The NYT have selected fairly achievable efforts - but a Whole Foods or accessible farmer’s markets really help with the projects. Be prepared to pay more than restaurant prices and to handle leftovers - kind of not allowed in our small apartment - that is where the overnight colleagues come in. You’ll hopefully come to this app for the creativity and life choices and stay for the compliments and gratitude of others. Food and shared food experiences is one of the strongest pillars of a life well lived..BevatronVersion: 4.8.3

Clarity and Classics—recipes to trustI love this app and just subscribed to my second year. My favorite thing is the clarity of the writing— from the list of ingredients to the preparation, these recipes are easy to follow. I also like the fact that this organization has access to some really great foodies and national and international recipes—but that access doesn’t mean there are a plethora of choices, which is what I want. I like reaching for my cookbook and finding what I want—not sift through 100+ recipes to find the best. I like that there are very few recipes for specific things, and that these recipes are classics yet modern. This is an app for a cook like me—not daily, but a weekend cook who uses the time to savor the process and want to make something delicious. And in the first year—I committed Jordan Marsh’s blueberry muffin recipe to memory and it’s still such a divine gift to me (I do add more blueberries and sugar sprinkles though!;) 💕.CLD415Version: 4.70.0

Great cooking app!When Covid hit, I retired and became the cook for our household, as my wife worked remotely. I wanted to learn to cook differently from the way that my parents taught me. I had no experience previously with the New York Times, but I had tried recipes from other newspapers. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the recipes were basic, straightforward, and easy to cook. They are also delicious! Some of them have become our favorites. When we decide to do a meatless Monday, the baked feta cheese on the sheet pan is my favorite. I would recommend this app for anyone who wants delicious food that is easy to prepare and uses commonly available ingredients. Once you have mastered the basics, it is very easy to experiment with cuisines from around the world. I have found Georgian (the country, not the state) spices to be to my liking. Thank you to the New York Times for making this app available with my subscription..Basset RetrieverVersion: 4.81.0

The app that turned cooking into a hobbyI used to think that I didn’t enjoy cooking, that cooking was a chore to be avoided or sped through. This app may have turned me — ME! — into a person who cooks for pleasure. You can search for recipes by ingredient so you don’t have to toss out those soon-to-expire items languishing in your fridge. It provides you with daily inspiration recipes, videos on techniques, no-fuss grocery lists, easy-to-follow recipes on (my favorite perk) a screen that does not time out and turn off while your hands are covered in chicken innards. When you find your favorite recipes or just want to create lists of recipes to try, you can add them to your saved recipe box so you don’t have to go searching for recipes when you’re already hangry. I’ve had so much fun trying new foods, with less time and hassle. Heartily recommend! Enjoy your transformation into a hobby cook..HkwekelVersion: 4.79.0

The Best for CooksTo me, this app is second to none. The content is created by fantastically talented, creative and straightforward food people. No fluff to the descriptions, just the facts you need and some additional insight that will make you a wiser cook. Simple emails up to the most complex, explained in laymen’s terms. It is searchable, creates shopping lists (where you can delete items you already have!) and easy to use when executing your chosen dish(es). I read the daily/weekly emails for the past year, got a free trial of the app, and now have the app (I couldn’t live without it, actually) and can say that my cooking skills and creativity have been elevated dramatically! If you like to cook and want to get better, this app is for you. Combine it with the emails from the Times staff and you’re basically getting an education (or refresher) that will help you grow your skills and culinary sophistication one meal at a time!.JWMoiseVersion: 4.14.2

Great Basic App - Needs RefinementOverall the app works great and we’re having great time with the recipes available. The UI is good but on the iPad it only makes so-so usage of the screen. Otherwise, it’s easy to read especially as you load up a receipt but a couple of things about the app irritate us when we use it to shop, prep, and ultimately cook. First the shopping thing… There needs to be an option to copy copy the ingredients to the clipboard or at the very least Apple notes. I hate having to copy the long list of ingredients and then clean it up in notes. Second, adding an option to divide the ingredient list by portions would help so much. I’ve definitely been guilty of forgetting to divide an ingredient near the end of a recipe. Lastly, please add an option for the screen to remain awake, at least on the iPad version. It’s so annoying having to tap the screen or unlock after being in the midst of cooking..John's Big BunsVersion: 4.94.1

Great app - could use a bit more to make it betterI love NYT recipes! I love reading the forum commentary and definitely read the comments about each recipe I am interested in. Here are some suggestions though. I would really like to be able to vote whether or not a comment is helpful within the app (option only available on desktop version). I would like to be able to comment back directly to a comment (like to ask a question to a commenter). I would like the option to save a specific comment to my recipe box (Allrecipes does this. Very useful.) Lastly - if you accidentally click on the “stars”, which is a common place to click to view comments on many other websites, you can’t back out of the mistake - you are forced to rate a recipe that you probably have not even made. This has happened to me multiple times! Ugh. (Note this last comment may be in the phone and not desktop or app version. Cant remember. But it is most definitely a flaw)..AnnetteebeVersion: 3.2.1

Caregiving Support!After over 35 years of teaching, I finally retired and was able to slow down and enjoy life. Sadly less than half a year later, those dreams were dashed when I suddenly found myself a full time caregiver for my husband. On top of that, the pandemic hit, and our world shrunk down to a five-room condo and leaving home was too dangerous to even think about. As options dwindled, I filled my days with activities that could be done safely. Planning and preparing daily meals became a welcome outlet! Thanks to that NYT cooking section and app, I have endless meals to try, and as things gradually open up once again, I have bright spots in my otherwise often challenging days, when I can forget, if only for a moment, that life can still be fun! My endless thanks to NYT for keeping me sane!.608648421Version: 4.48

Favorite Recipes, Would love to see a better appI almost exclusively cook NYT recipes as I’ve been continually impressed by how good they turn out— I suggest this app to all my friends. But I gotta say— it’s a tough sell, let me tell you why. Do I love paying $4 a month, on top of the $4 I pay for the NYT news subscription? No, I think that’s a little much, especially given the sadly unremarkable features (or lack thereof) on the app itself. I gotta say, I stick around for the amazing recipes. But for that extra $4 I would really love to see more out of the app— for example, categorizing by meal or recipe type, search improvements/better filtering, access to videos that have previously been featured on the front page (where do these go?), that sort of thing. I come back to this app all the time and think a lot more people would be hooked too, if the app was a little more user friendly..MarGraWhiVersion: 4.41

Excellent recipes - wish they were more timelyI love the NYT cooking app and use it regularly. I do have some observations/complaints: 1. Recipe of the day - recipes that are clearly event/seasonal specific are not posted far enough in advance to be useful. E.g. todays Fresh Ham with balsamic glaze posted the day before Easter, a great pie recipe was posted March 13. In order for a recipe to be useful, people need a little more lead time to plan (a week?). Yes we can search ahead for what we want, and I do, but I’ve had a few sad moments seeing a recipe id love to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas the day(s) before or even day of the holiday — too late to matter. 2. Search capabilities need to be improved as many others have noted, with more fields and limit/sort options. 3. Ratings seem a bit skewed — i dont think I’ve ever seen a posted recipe rated below 4 stars, even if many of the comments are negative. How can this be remedied? I feel like epicurious does a much better job of “using the whole rating scale.”.Dhdjwofh jdVersion: 4.34.0

Great recipes, sometimes quirky websiteThese are wonderful recipes: I’ve been cooking them for my wife and me for about 5 years now, they are generally easy (or if not then straightforward), they can be done in a reasonable amount of time (usually less than an hour), they have sometimes helpful sometimes humourous comments, and they are mostly (90%+) good to great. But the website is clunky. Try searching meat loaf and meatloaf: you get two different sets of results. Misspell something, type in something that the Times’s computer doesn’t recognize (even though a normal human being and even Google might) and you’re lost. Despite the quirks, it is my go-to web recipes, because so reliably good. And much more concise and clear and brief than other websites that rely on extensive ads. (Plus when we downsized all our print cook-books went ☹️.Thoughtful44Version: 4.85.0

This App deletes your saved recipes...completely unacceptableI’ve been using this app from the very beginning, saving my favorite recipes and using them frequently. Recently I went to my saved recipe box and noticed that over half the recipes were gone, and all of those that I had flagged as “cooked” were no longer there. I sent a note to technical service immediately and still days later haven’t received any assistance. This is completely unacceptable. This is not a free App, this service is overpriced to begin with, and it is absolutely unacceptable for dozens and dozens of saved recipes to completely disappear with no record and no recourse. No different than if I buy a cookbook and the publishers come into my house and remove it. So beware if you are thinking of paying for this App. You may be better off looking elsewhere..You can do better NYT CookingVersion: 4.8.4

Great recipes! App has it’s quirks.What would make this app 100X easier for me to use is if I could select the item from my grocery list that I want to make tonight and then clicking on it would take me to the recipe. Instead I have to go to search and even if I search my recipe box, every recipe with those search terms (10K+) will come up, meaning I have to remember the exact title, in full, of the recipe and search for it, even though I have already selected it in my grocery list. Please make searching in your own recipe box and using your own grocery list to prepare meals, a little easier? Thank you! The app is great for me otherwise. I especially love the comments where folks who know the recipe share hacks, subs, and practical advice. UPDATE: NYT Cooking did exactly what I had asked for! WOW!!! Thank you for listening to the user community. This is what makes a successful app. Thank you!!! Wishing you all the best and a raise. ;).DuckingmiracleVersion: 4.86.0

MeatI know we should reduce the amount of meat we eat and I have, eating lots of fish, eggs and some cheese. I eat lots of vegetables, but don’t count on them alone to provide enough protein. And I am sick of all the quinoa, etc. I am getting tired of chicken, even though I give you an A+ for your chicken recipes. But I still enjoy red meat occasionally. The few meat recipes offered, that are not stews, are few and far between. Luckily, I enjoy a sautéed chop when I do eat red meat. Although I once loved to cook and was good at it, I now find that I REALLY don’t like cooking for just myself. I rarely entertain, mostly because so many people have food “issues” and planning and cooking a meal for a group is too much of a hassle. And one more thing. Too many of your recipes require too many ingredients that I don’t have or want to buy. When I go to restaurants I really enjoy that kind of food..AnneGoodeEVersion: 4.54.0

A great helpThis app is one of the few I use daily. The meal planning suggestions have helped me avoid that 4:30 pm panic about what to fix for dinner many times. I don't cook everything in Sam Sifton's suggestions every week, but I usually find at least one or two recipes to add to my own ideas for weekly meal planning. The recipes are as diverse as New York itself, ranging from familiar comfort foods to elegant classic French cuisine, to more exotic Middle Eastern, Asian and African dishes, which are familiar comfort foods in other places. The dessert recipes are amazing! Recipes are clear and easy to follow. It is a great help to be able to pull up a recipe on my tablet, and to be able to read and follow it without wasteful printing. Plus, the printing function works well, for those who would rather spill on paper than on delicate electronics. The recipe ratings and reviews can be sorted by most helpful. Favorite recipes can be saved and organized, which is good, because my list of favorites is becoming unwieldy. Others have mentioned price of the app. Considering the hundreds of dollars I would otherwise spend on cookbooks from these authors, it is a real bargain. Add in the recipe search functions, and the fact that it takes up no more room in my overstuffed bookcases, and it quickly becomes indispensable..Ccarter756Version: 3.0.0

My Go ToI am an avid home cook and UX professional — that makes me really hard to please when it comes to a cooking site / app. The NY Times is one of the most reliable recipe sites out there that combines accuracy (you can depend on the ratios and cook-times), flavor combinations, and ease. Their recipes save work without cutting corners on the quality of the outcome. Whether I need ideas for a quick weeknight meal or something special for the weekend, I know I can count on NYT. Further, their app is intuitive and effortless. They surface ideas, make suggestions, and keep track of what I’ve recently viewed. If I have one area to improve, it’s the recipe box. I’d like to be able to save third party recipes to the app. That way I wouldn’t need more than one on my phone. All in all, this is easily my favorite cooking app..LuvGSDVersion: 4.53.0

Keep going!Within the past year, I’ve learned I just have to keep going, no matter what! At the moment, I can’t really use the kitchen that I had beautifully remodeled last year. My right arm is in a sling, and my left arm is impaired by having a PICC line in it, so that I can give myself daily IV medication. Thankfully, this is not a permanent situation, but I will have to deal with it for another 3 to 6 months. However, reading recipes from the New York Times cookbook, Looking at the pictures, thinking about what I would have to buy, and what I already have in my cupboard, or my fridge… All of this helps keep me going as do my son and daughter when I have the delicious meals they cook for me. This cookbook, and its weekly reminders of the joy I find in cooking, is the backbone of my recovery. Thanks for that!.Find a reasonVersion: 4.73.0

I LOVE this app!I love this app--it's so convenient to have so many recipes (and ideas) so readily available. The feedback and conversation about almost every recipe is tremendously helpful--and having access to these recipes--including some that I've saved to my recipe box from elsewhere--on my phone is incredibly useful--easier than hauling the laptop around (do I really want that in my kitchen anyway?) and beats printing out endless pieces of paper. My only regret is that the columns that come with the recipes aren't up here too--but I'm realistic enough to believe that might be impractical in this space. I'm sorry there are folks who are upset about having to pay a bit--quality journalism isn't free. I've subscribed to the Times online for years--it's not that expensive AND you get the newspaper as well as this treasure trove of cooking ideas..LizabetharmstrongVersion: 3.0.0

Good App, poor integration with NY TimesI like this app. The recipes are interesting and the steps are clear. Once you get to the recipe, all is well. A couple of versions ago, the App stopped working seamlessly with the online version of the Times. I used to click on a recipe in the Times and it would get me into the app. Then it wanted me to add my ID and password to open the App even if the App was already open. Like another used it then would get stuck in a loop. The advice from the Times tech people (reinstall) produced no results. Subsequent updates have produced no change. So now if I see a recipe in the Times I go to the App and search. The search features is not great. It may take 2 or 3 tries to find the recipe shifting from names to principal ingredients. Sometimes I don’t find it. I assume it has yet to be posted on the App..EJNYCVersion: 4.10.1

Making a non-chef look goodI have always been a mediocre cook and an even worse baker... I readily admit to both because, well, it’s true. Because “never say die” is my credo, I have tried over and over again to create deliciousness off of recipes I’ve chosen with inconsistent results (read: terrible tasting food/family and friends who don’t want to hurt my feelings). This has historically put pressure on any recipe I’ve chosen to be both doable and deliver food that tastes good. Plenty of web recipe searching delivered more confusion and inconsistent results. Then, last spring, I discovered the NYT Food app. While there is no miracle cure, this app comes close. I have access to world of resources here that have transformed my cooking life. The way recipes are organized, broken down, and then supported by reader comments is perfect for the me. I can find and have tried recipes in almost every category, from less complicated weeknight main dishes to desserts that have minimized human error and delivered on their promises. Gone are the fearful looks of my family and friends, who seem genuinely happy to have me contribute to Sunday family dinner. I get that I’m on the learning curve, but my skills are SO much better, and I’m enjoying myself along the way. Seriously, thanks!.LisaPhillyVersion: 4.14.3

Get It - it’s Really GoodI was on the fence for awhile about subscribing to NY Times Cooking, but recently took the plunge. I am so happy I did. It is an awesome resource for cooking/baking ideas, right at your fingertips and available wherever the “idea to cook something” hits you. Best part is how user friendly it is laid out. Very well designed format enables you to browse for great recipe ideas with just an inkling of what you may want to try, you usually end up with a recipe that pushes your boundaries. But just as easily, if you have a specific recipe in mind, you can find it super fast. Also the recipes are laid out great. Ingredients tab and process tab with quality photo and overview of the recipe experience is top notch. If your on the fence for subscribing, jump off - it’s definitely worth it!.MLandi63Version: 4.45

Was 5 now 4 starsI love the NYT Cooking app and have used it for many, many years. The recipes are great. The reviews are funny and helpful. BUT I used to be able to save recipes from other sources and store them in folders that I created in the NYT Cooking app. I always admired NYT for not having an inferiority complex and willing to offer this additional service of "other" sites' recipes being housed amongst theirs. Now that extra perk is gone. I even called customer service and asked why this wasn't an option anymore. He gave some lame answer like "we are concentrating our efforts on giving better service..." You WERE offering a great service. Allowing a person to paste a link to a recipe from elsewhere is no skin off your nose! Please bring that back! Or at least to those who are paying full price for the full NYT package! Bah humbug..MakabakerVersion: 4.92.0

Excellent recipes, Elegant appI use this app on the iPad and iPhone many times a week and it has really improved our range of meals! I now turn to it first - even though we have many cookbooks - as the search function always reveals new ways of using an ingredient. The photos are appealing, serve as good models for plating the dish, and generally represent the end result accurately. The ratings and comments are also really helpful. I also like the way the iPad app stays on while cooking, rather than timing out to the lock screen. Wishlist for iPad app version: (1) nutrition info, (2) scaling recipes function, (3) ability to copy from comments and/or pin them to top of list for future reference, (4) dimming after a couple of minutes of inactivity, and undimming with an easy tap — to save screen and battery life..888K888Version: 4.28.0

Love to CookI was the wife and mother who hated cooking. Ten years into marriage and motherhood I discovered this subscription through the NYT. I started by making some breads, began watching the videos, reading tips, took on sheet pan meals, and now make all sorts of more complex meals because of the confidence I have built through how friendly this app is and how delicious these meals are. This app has changed my life and I’m now a queen of meals in our house. My kids help me and pick out their favorite dishes and often prefer to eat in than eat out. And I never feel stressed anymore when making homemade dinners. I even have the confidence and know how to put ingredients together without finding specific recipes. We also use this app to plan all our holiday get together and party meals. All thanks to this NYT cooking subscription!.Coqui DeniseVersion: 4.14.0

Content great, app not as greatApp would be improved if: -Save option “floated” or were at the bottom of the actual recipe instead of being at the top near the picture, where you can’t see ingredients, instructions, or reviews and presumably wouldn’t even know if you wanted to save it yet -comments section weren’t glitchy - as it is, the comments rearrange themselves at random, as you’re reading them, which is frustrating because they’re usually super helpful (NYT home cooks are awesome at sharing tips and suggestions, they’re seriously the best and often hilarious/endearing) -comments could be edited and could be switched from public to private and vice versa - the default is to make them public, so if you forget to toggle the switch to Private before you save, everyone will see your note to yourself and you can’t undo it I’m not convinced the app is any better than just using an internet browser and looking at recipes that way, but if you don’t want to use a browser on your phone (or don’t have one), the app is convenient if there’s no computer or tablet handy. Also worth noting: when you have a recipe open, your iPhone won’t auto-lock, which is a feature I appreciate but it can drain your battery if you forget about it, so keep that in mind. Happy cooking!.Pokey1234Version: 4.56.0

Favorite section of the NYTI havnt always been a cook. Or even a baker, although I took to that younger. I spent my first 15 years doing some baking. I used to love decorating cakes. Then I went to college and then life went on. And I never really baked again, and certainly never bothered to learn to cook well. Fast forward a few decades and I’ve taught myself to cook. Really cook. Well. People want an invitation to my house for dinner. They love it when I stop by with some extra couscous salad or leftovers from a holiday meal. I’m not bragging, im sharing my total shock that this has come to pass. Many of the recipes I’ve made have come from the NYT food section. I can’t wait for Wed to see what I may be making Thur. Velvet fish? Yum. Mushroom appetizers? I’m in (and I don’t really like mushrooms). And more. I’ve also picked up baking again. Made the lemon coconut cake form this weeks paper. Fantastic!! This app allows me to save and comment on adjustments I’ve made - which I do. Velvet fish sauce needs to be 1.5 the recipe. And needs more heat. The butternut squash “florets” need more purée and a little less sugar. Etc. But I find many of my goto recipes come from the NYT. And of course, also ideas on which cookbooks to invest in..Mcb6136Version: 4.9.0

Such a great collectionThe NYT cooking app is my go to cookbook for every occasion. That’s why, with all it’s greatness for content, the frustrating, archaic search and sort functions are a remarkable disappointment. This is a subscription service, and the Times is really negligent for not updating it. Since many of us don’t keep computers in our kitchens, mobile access becomes very important, yet on ios, you can’t even search two variables at once. For example, if you want to search mango pie, every recipe for mango, and every mention of pie will all appear. Also, you can search the exact name of a recipe, and it might not appear in your search at all. NYT really needs to create a platform more worthy of such extraordinary content. It’s long overdue..MomoCooksVersion: 4.35

BuggyThe app continually asks me to login. Just now I saved a recipe, great. Then I searched for another recipe and tried to save it - nope. Must login. And re-type all information; nothing is saved from prior logins.

Recipes are great, site functionality could be better.I know. There are so many free recipe sites but this is the one with the largest audience that results in lots of reviews of people who have actually made the recipe. Lots of great tips - essential for any foodie! My only issue is with the fact that it’s really hard to sort recipes. I want to be able to look at only those I haven’t made! I just get the sense that those who make the web interface decisions don’t do user testing and aren’t foodies..Nic-from-CanadaVersion: 4.89.0

Great recipes, mediocre functionalityGreat recipes - love the curation and discovery. The app itself, however, could use more work to improve feature set and functionality. For example: 1. A recent update got rid of the ability for users to view their list of “Cooked” recipes. 2. The comments functionality doesn’t allow for direct replies to other comments, so there are a bunch of comments floating around without context, responding to older comments by other users. It makes the comments section messy and not useful..Good UX mattersVersion: 4.88.0

NYT Cooking Negative Reviews

Threatening emails and dark patternsI was happy with the app, and then one of my credit cards expired and I forgot to update it. Then came… the slew of threatening-sounding emails saying my payment is “past due,” “urgent billing notice,” etc. So then I had had it and went to cancel the subscription, and that’s when I saw the dark pattern. It says you have to call to cancel, but then you log into your account and there’s another option to cancel by chatting with an agent. There is no other way to cancel your subscription- you can’t do it on your own on the app or website like you can with almost any other subscription service. And if you don’t pay the past due amount for the subscription you weren’t using anyway, you’ll just keep getting the emails. Even after you cancel your subscription. Yikes. I wonder how much money NYT actually gets back this way, and if it actually offsets the cost of having chat and phone agents dealing with subscription cancellations, which I can imagine is one of the top reasons people contact them. Anyway, I was planning to cancel and maybe come back at a later date when I’m done traveling, but because of this dark pattern and threatening emails I plan to never come back. Hope that last $5 was worth it!.AlitaccdVersion: 4.38

Not feeling the loveWhen I first got it I thought it was great. It has slowly gone downhill though, to the point where it’s not even really useful anymore and definitely not worth the price. It just feels like the app is being neglected, and with every update it gets worse. It was great that you can save recipes from other sites, but now the app no longer shows the pictures of non-NYT recipes so you have to read the title of each one to find what you want. Forget about browsing through your saved recipes to find visual inspiration for dinner! Also, it does not allow you to organize non-NYT recipes into different folders... Thus in order to find anything I have try and remember the exact title of the recipe I’m looking for and scroll through dozens of recipe names hoping to find it. It is literally easier to google it and just find the recipe online again. The final insult was that now it makes you sign in every single time you use it which is a huge PITA... I’m not really worried about someone stealing my recipes! If you’re just saving NYT recipes this would be adequate but if you want to save all your online recipes in one place, look elsewhere. I switched to Paprika..DzitnupVersion: 4.7.0

FreakanomicsWell here is a classic example of an app with fake reviews. Unfortunately, for NYT it’s the good reviews that are fake. It’s just not possible for an app to have a field goal rating of distribution. About half of the reviews are five stars and the other half is 1 star with just a few sprinkled among the 2/3/4 stars. If you search for recipe apps then look at the ratings, each of them will have a downhill rating: meaning the majority of the reviews are 5 stars with fewer and fewer ratings distributed amongst the stars 4-3-2-1. Don’t believe the 5 star reviews for any app when you see an equal distribution of 5 and 1 star reviews. In the case of the NYT cooking app, most of the 1 star reviews are from users that believe the annual price of this app is just too much, I am in that group. When the app used to be free, I used it daily and Ioved it. I might even have given it a 4 or 5 star rating. Did the app crash from time to time, yes it did. But I didn’t care. Did I experience issues with my saved recipes? Yes, but I didn’t mind. The app was free and with free you accept these issues. This app is unfortunately just not priced correctly to get the rating it deserves..ATXCooperVersion: 3.0.0

Great for omnivores; vegetarians/vegans not as much.Like most app users, I expect that the AI behind the apps I use is intelligent enough to provide meaningful personalization. I’ve used this app for 3 years, and my recommended recipes primarily point to meat and cocktails. I’ve never made a single recipe from the app with meat of any kind, so these suggestions are remarkable. And, of course, I can skip over them, but the point of apps (particularly those with a pay wall-at least in part) is that they learn my behavior and then make useful suggestions to help me find the kinds of recipes that in turn bring me back to the app. A lot of the recipes are good, but as this as a review of the app itself, and the app’s AI is a bit lazy, so the review is correspondingly low. Also, a good number of the vegetarian recipes include things like chicken stock and parm, which of course makes it not a vegetarian recipe. And while the omnivore argument is “can’t you just skip it” yes, of course, but I think I can also reasonably expect that a recipe marked vegetarian actually is what it says it is..Mr1379Version: 4.55.0

NYT sandbox. Does not play well with othersI really dislike this app. It is not an all purpose recipe app. It only is really useful for recipes published in the New York Times. Well I can save recipes to my “recipe box”, I cannot search the recipe box. Instead I must search New York Times recipes to see if I can find the one I’m looking for. Even worse while I can save recipes from the Internet to my recipe box, they often or saved without an image and in brackets saying “name not available”. There is no way to edit the name to make it useful. This is particularly the case for recipes saved from the Washington Post. And when I open up recipes that have been saved from other locations to find out what is in them because they have no name, and then close the recipe because it’s not the one I was looking for, it does not return me to the place in the list of recipes I had opened it from, but defaults back to the recipes saved from NYT so I have to scroll down to continue to hunt and peck to find my the non-NYT recipe I was looking for..PyxidataVersion: 4.53.0

What happened…I used this app 2 nights ago and it was the same app I know and love. I open it today and suddenly the saved recipe section is different. Searching by saved recipes is kind of cool, but it takes so long to load. The old version had the top ribbon show your saved recipes that matched whatever search you made so I don’t see what this new saved recipe search is really adding other than a loading screen. Also the recipe count maxes out at 999, I saved additional recipes and the number did not change. The main thing that I do NOT like is I cannot find a catalog of the recipes that I marked as “cooked” anymore. This is a major loss for me, as this was how I found old favorites and kept track of all the NYTimes recipes I’ve actually made. Overall, I really don’t appreciate the changes to the saved recipes section. The UI is worse, it takes longer to load, and recipes are MORE difficult to find. I don’t understand why the developers chose to change this section and I wish it would go back to how it was before..HwickwbgVersion: 4.86.0

Search function is brokenYou can only search once, it removes the bar, and the only way to search again is to close the app entirely and start again. Even to get there, it takes 3 clicks to search. There should be a search bar, you click it, and it creates the cursor to begin typing. There shouldn't be a separate tab, the existing tab can just appear below the search bar after it is selected. There is enough negative space in the default Browse screen to put a search bar. Wild. It's also too easy to go into and out of recipe following mode. swiping back and forth is fine but let it be a two finger swipe or something to get out of it, since you are going to use hands that are covered in dough or whatever. Put the ingredients and directions on one screen! The iPad is big enough that I promise you can have a list on one side with checkboxes and directions on the other..ApolloShruggedVersion: 4.92.0

Great recipes, lousy appIt is a recipe box. It does have decent search functionality but doesn’t take advantage of being an app. You are able to mark “I’ve made this”, but not able to clearly see this amongst all recipes or filter on this field, give it your own ratings or write your own cooking notes — so less than you can do with a physical recipe box. The two tab structure of ingredients — shopping list — and cooking instructions is also problematic because ingredient prep instructions are frequently included on the ingredient tab instead of within the recipe instructions. You are also not able to use for weekly meal planning and calories/nutritional info not provided. You are not able to search of multiple ingredients you have in your pantry to find a recipe for what you have available. This app could be so much more. I had hoped I’d get more functionality for the subscription fee..LoriMPVersion: 4.61.1
