Cook Thru

Scan

Your cookbooks, ready to cook from

Point your iPhone or iPad at a printed cookbook page. Cook Thru reads the title, servings, times, ingredients, and steps and gives you a recipe you can edit.

• Handles two-column pages and recipes in several parts, like a main dish and its sauce.
• Scan a photo of the finished dish too, and it becomes the recipe's picture.
• On devices with Apple Intelligence, parsing is even smarter, and it all happens on your device.

Import

Bring recipes from anywhere

Found something good online? Share the page to Cook Thru from Safari and the recipe comes in without the life story and the ads.

• Clip just the part of a page you want with the Safari extension.
• Move your collection over from Paprika or Mela.
• Send a recipe, or a whole collection, to a friend as a single .cookthru file.

Walk Mode

One step at a time

Walk Mode shows one step in large, easy-to-read type, along with just the ingredients that step needs. No scrolling back through a wall of text with messy hands.

• Start a timer right from the step. It keeps counting on your Lock Screen.
• Check timers on your Apple Watch, or follow along on the big screen with Apple TV.

Siri

Hands full? Just ask.

Flour on your fingers? Ask Siri how much of an ingredient the recipe you're cooking needs, or how long is left on a timer. No need to touch anything.

Meal Plan

Plan the week, shop once

Add recipes to breakfast, lunch, or dinner on any day. Once a meal is planned, Cook Thru suggests dishes you've served with it before.

• The recipes you usually make for a meal show up first in the picker.
• Eat the same things every week? Copy last week's plan in one tap.
• Make a shopping list from everything you've planned.

Everywhere

On every device in your kitchen

Your recipes, plans, and timers stay in sync through your own iCloud account. No sign-up, and no new password to remember.
