App Store Pearls: Paprika is the ideal iPhone app for cooking

Every day we scour the internet to find the best apps from the App Store for your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. Today, OMT editor Jeroen Kraak has the app that makes cooking a lot easier for you.

We are not all a kitchen prince or princess. Still, we like to show off in the kitchen every now and then. To do this, you scour the internet for the ideal recipes. Did you find one? Then you want to keep it. Paprika makes that extra easy on your iPhone and iPad.

All your favorite recipes on your iPhone and iPad

With Paprika you can download the recipes from your favorite websites. For example, we like to choose Culy’s recipes, because they are always original and delicious. But it is also possible to simply add your own recipes. Not sure exactly what you want to eat? The meal planner schedules your meals in daily, weekly or monthly calendars.

Have you chosen your favorite recipe? Then it’s time to go to the store and Paprika will help you with that too. The iPhone app creates smart shopping lists that automatically combine ingredients and sort them by aisle.

You may already have the ingredients at home. The pantry function helps you map out what ingredients you have and when they expire.

Cooking with Paprika

While cooking, you cross off the steps yourself on the iPhone and iPad app. That way you know exactly where you are. Cooking times are automatically detected in your recipes. Simply tap it to start a timer.

However, there is a small drawback to the app. This one is not free. To use Paprika you pay a one-time fee of 5.99 euros in the App Store. However, that is a pittance when you consider how much time you save cooking. If you have purchased it, it will synchronize all recipes on all your devices.
