I've added a new feature for all my Pro users out there! You can now hide the QR code when you print a recipe. This is perfect for when you want a cleaner printout without the extra clutter.

You can find this new option in the settings. Just toggle it on or off based on your preference.

This has been a top feature request for a while, and I'm happy to finally ship it.

Let me know what you think!

Happy cooking, Jan

I'm excited to announce a new feature that many of you have requested: you can now sort your shopping list items by recipe!

This should make your grocery trips even more organized. When you have multiple recipes in your shopping list, you'll see the ingredients grouped under their respective recipe titles.

Happy cooking, Jan

I've made it easier to adjust the number of servings for recipes!

Previously, you had to click the plus and minus buttons repeatedly, which could be a bit tedious for larger adjustments. Now, I've added an input field that lets you type in the exact number of servings you need. The ingredient amounts will update instantly as you type.

This should make scaling your favorite recipes up or down much quicker.

Happy cooking!

I'm excited to announce that I've upgraded the recipe scanner! You can now import recipes from PDF and TXT files, in addition to scanning them from images. This opens up a lot more possibilities for getting your favorite recipes into Mr. Cook.

A quick note: please make sure to only scan one recipe at a time.

You can try out the new feature by using the Scan Recipe button.

I've been busy expanding the recipe import feature and I'm excited to announce that I've added support for 57 new websites!

This brings the total number of supported sites to over 470 🤯 You can now import recipes from even more of your favorite food blogs and recipe websites directly into Mr. Cook.

Just paste a link when you add a new recipe and Mr. Cook will automatically import all the details.

You can see the full list of supported websites to check if your favorite is included. If not, please let me know!

Happy cooking!

I've just rolled out a pretty neat update to how you can get your recipes into Mr. Cook! I've focused on making the file upload and recipe scanning process much smoother and more versatile.

Now, you can:

• Take multiple photos directly in the app when scanning recipes. No more one-photo-at-a-time hassle!
• Paste images directly from your clipboard. Copied a recipe image from a website? Just paste it in!
• Drag-and-drop images for a super quick upload experience.

I think these changes will make adding your recipes, whether from a physical cookbook or a digital source, a lot easier and faster. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

You can access these new features when you import a recipe or add a new recipe manually.

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to announce a new feature that many of you have asked for: a bulk importer for Paprika 3 Recipe Manager!

If you've been managing your recipes in Paprika 3 and want to bring them over to Mr. Cook, now you can do it seamlessly. I've built a dedicated importer to make the transition as smooth as possible.

You can find the new importer in the settings under Bulk Import -> Paprika. Just follow the instructions there, and your recipes will be ready in Mr. Cook in no time.

I hope this makes it easier for you to manage all your recipes in one place. This is still in beta, if you have any feedback or run into any issues, please let me know!

Happy cooking! Jan

I'm thrilled to announce that the Pro Recipe Importer is now out of beta and available to all Mr. Cook Pro members!

You can now easily import recipes from your favorite platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and even more websites directly into Mr. Cook. This has been a much-requested feature, and I'm excited to finally bring it to you.

To start importing, make sure you have an active Mr. Cook Pro membership.

Many other websites are still supported in the Free and Plus plans.

Happy cooking!

I've just rolled out a new AI-powered recipe importer! This should significantly improve compatibility with a wider range of recipe websites. It's automatically enabled when you import from supported websites, so you don't need to do anything special to use it.

Please keep in mind that this is a best-effort feature and might not work perfectly with every single website out there. I'm releasing it as a beta for now, so it's completely free for everyone to try.

Depending on how it performs and the resources required, I might consider making this a paid feature once it's more stable and reliable.

Give it a try by importing a recipe and let me know what you think! Your feedback is super valuable, especially during this beta phase. You can share your thoughts via the Feedback section.

I've added a new way to get recipes into Mr. Cook! You can now import recipes directly from Instagram posts.

Simply paste the link to the Instagram post containing a recipe, and the AI will do its best to extract the ingredients and instructions for you.

Pro Tip: On iOS and Android, you can also use the native share feature directly from the Instagram app to send the post to Mr. Cook for even faster importing!

This feature is still experimental, so it might not always extract recipes perfectly. Please let me know if you run into any issues or have suggestions!

Happy cooking! 🍳

2 years ago, I started working on Mr. Cook. I've rebuilt most of it behind the scenes and added some new features. You might notice many small changes, but the core of the app is the same.

📸 Multiple Recipe Images

Finally, you can add multiple images to a recipe. There are more improvements coming to the image handling soon.

🔍 Better Recipe Scanner

The recipe scanner now uses better algorithms to extract more accurate information, even from low quality images. Also the scanner stores all images so you can always go back and see what you scanned.

🧑‍🍳 Better AI Recipe Generation

The AI recipe generator now uses a more advanced algorithm to generate recipes.

🎨 UI Improvements

I've redesigned many, many parts of the app to make it look and feel more modern. It's impossible to list all the changes here, but I hope you feel the improvements in your daily use.

👋 Easier Onboarding

For new users, I've simplified the onboarding process. It's now easier than ever to get started and start managing your recipes.

🚀 WAY faster

The app is now faster than ever. I've made many improvements to the app to make it more efficient. You should notice a major difference in performance when opening recipes or cookbooks. Especially on slow networks.

💸 Updated plan limits

I've updated the plan limits to be more fair. You can now have use more AI features on the Plus plan. I will experiment with the limits in the future to find a fair balance.

💚 Thank you

Thank you for your support over the past 2 years. I've learned so much and I'm excited to continue working on Mr. Cook. Every subscription helps me to continue working on the app. If you like the app, please consider subscribing.

💬 Feedback

I'm always looking for feedback. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

- Jan

I've been working on the meal planner to better show you the nutrients of your meals. Also you can now start analyzing the nutrients of your meals right from the meal planner.

This is another step towards making the meal planner the central place for your nutrition.

Do you have any feedback on the meal planner? Please post your feedback.

Based on your feedback, I've added a new feature that automatically totals items as you add them to your shopping list.

This makes it easier to see the total amount of items you need to buy.

The summation is based on the ingredient name and the unit. For example, if you add "100g potatoes" and "200g potatoes", it will sum up to "300g potatoes".

I hope you like it. Happy shopping! 🛒

There was a bug that some recipes were not shown in the recipe list for some users. This should be fixed now. Sorry for any inconveniences.

This changed some other things in the background. If you experience some issues, please post your feedback.

Based on your feedback, I have added a new filter option to find recipes that have not yet been rated.

Great for finding recipes you might want to try. Happy cooking!

I fixed the automatic image generation for AI recipes. Sorry for the inconvenience. This release also includes a number of other minor fixes.

I've added a new feature that lets you export your cookbooks as beautiful PDF files! 🎉

This feature is available for Plus and Pro users and is currently in beta. To use it:

1. Go to any cookbook
2. Click on the three-dots menu button
3. Choose "Export as PDF"

The exported PDF includes a beautiful cover page with your cookbook's title and all recipes with their ingredients, instructions, and cooking times neatly organized.

To use this feature, make sure you have the latest version of the app:

• iOS: Download from the App Store
• Android: Get it on Google Play

I'm actively working on improvements for this feature, and I'd love to hear your feedback! 💪

I have improved the recipe scanner to be more accurate at transcribing recipes from images.

This makes it easier to add recipes from cookbooks and other sources.

Less information is lost during the scan and the recipe is more faithful to the original.

I've improved the AI recipe generation process to ensure that the recipes are more diverse and creative.

Additionally the image generation process has been improved to ensure that the images are more accurate and relevant to the recipe.

This is a big step towards making the AI even more useful and helpful.

Please let me know when you run into any issues or have any feedback.

Based on your feedback, I have added a visual indicator of which cookbooks a recipe has been added to. This makes it easier to organise your recipes.

In addition, you can now filter for unorganised recipes in your recipe list. This way you can see which recipes have not yet been added to any cookbooks.

Happy organising! 📕

After many thoughts and ideas, I have finally redesigned the shopping list. It's now a simplified version of the list, but with more features.

When you add ingredients from a recipe to the shopping list, the recipe name is now displayed and you can open the recipe from the three dot menu.

You can still organise your ingredients by category, but I have added the Beta badge to indicate that this is a work in progress and will be improved in the future.

To be fair, I also liked the old grid design with the icons, but the new one is easier to understand, faster and has more subtle animations to make shopping more fun.

I hope you like the change. Happy shopping! 🛒

I have simplified the way you share your meal planner. Shopping lists and meal planners are now attached to the same list and shared with the same people.

Meal planners are no longer attached to a cookbook. This makes them easier to share and more intuitive.

Important: All existing planned recipes and notes have been migrated to the new structure. Please go to the Meal Planner to make sure, and make sure to invite others if they are not already part of the shopping list.

I'm pleased to announce that 4 new languages have been added to Mr. Cook 🎉 All languages have full support for all features.

These languages have been added:

• Italian 🇮🇹
• Norwegian 🇳🇴
• Swedish 🇸🇪
• Turkish 🇹🇷

Happy cooking! 🍳

Based on user feedback, I added the ability to select multiple photos to scan a recipe.

This is very handy if you want to digitize recipes from magazines or handwritten notebooks.

Please note that for now, only selecting multiple images from the gallery is supported.

Start scanning recipes now

As requested by some users, I have added 4 more cuisines to the list. You now have a wider range of options to choose from. The new cuisines include

• Bengali
• Egyptian
• Malaysian
• Puerto Rican

Similar to the recently updated cookbook list, I've updated the design of the Add Recipe to Cookbook dialog. The new design has the same style as the cookbook list, making it easier to find the cookbook you want to add a recipe to.

A few bugs have also been fixed. The page now correctly displays the number of recipes in each cookbook, and the search functionality has been improved.

When you create a recipe variation, the AI will now keep the original image if it makes sense.

This is useful if you are only making small changes or translating the recipe. The image will be reused. 🔄

I have redesigned the cookbook list to make it easier to find recipes. The new design features a 3D cookbook with a cover image, title and number of recipes.

In addition, each cookbook is assigned a random book colour to make it easier to distinguish between them. In the future, I plan to be able to set the colour manually.

Based on your feedback, I've added the ability to categorize your meal planner items. You can now create categories like "Breakfast", "Lunch", "Dinner", "Snacks", "Meal prep" to help you organize your meal plans.

I also fixed some bugs in the Meal Planner, so it should be more stable now. Enjoy! 🎉

I have recently added 22 new recipe importers to the app. In total, more than 383 websites are now officially supported. In addition, thousands of other websites also work.

You can find the full list of supported sites here.

To make Mr. Cook even more international, we've added 3 new cuisines to the app. You can now choose from the following cuisines:

• Algerian 🇩🇿
• Catalan 🇪🇸
• Lebanese 🇱🇧

Happy cooking! 🍳

Fixed an issue where some YouTube videos were not being imported correctly.

Fixed a bug that caused the application to freeze. The app should now run smoothly again. 🚀

Sorry for the inconvenience! 🙏

Through internal optimisations, I have improved the loading speed of the recipe pages. Now you can access your favourite recipes faster than ever! 🚀

I also fixed some bugs and improved the overall performance of the site. Have fun cooking! 🍳

I've updated the sidebar navigation to make it easier to find what you're looking for. The new sidebar is now collapsible to help you focus on your recipes.

To collapse or expand the sidebar, click on the right border or use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ + B.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ + K to focus on the command bar and type "toggle sidebar".

I've also reorganised the content to make it more intuitive and easier to use. I hope you enjoy the new sidebar navigation!

As requested by some users, we have added 6 new recipe cuisines to the app. You can now find recipes from the following cuisines:

Ghanaian, Nigerian, Pakistani, Persian, Philippine, West African. Enjoy! 🎉

Thanks to Hendrik-Jan for updating the Dutch translations! 🎉 This helps me to improve the user experience for Dutch-speaking users.

If you want to help me translate the app into your language, please get in touch with me: [email protected] 🌍

We've improved the accuracy of nutrients in the app. All nutrients are now more accurate and reliable.

We've also added sugar as a nutrient to the list, so it's easier for you to keep track of your diet.

Enjoy your meals! 🍽️

Note: This feature is available to all Mr. Cook Pro users.

6 new importers have been added to Mr. Cook 🥳 You can see the full list here.

An issue that occurred three days ago has been fixed. The shopping list was freezing for some users. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Creating the perfect recipe is now easier than ever. When you ask Mr. Cook AI to create a new recipe, he will now give you three suggestions. You can then choose the one you think best suits your needs. The recipe is then created.

If you have feedback on how to further simplify and improve the recipe creation process, please create a feedback post.

The Recipe Scanner has been improved to be more accurate and faster. 🚀

This also improves the experience when scanning recipes with more complex layouts.

If you haven't upgraded to Mr. Cook Pro yet, now is the time! 🎉

The shopping list has been improved based on your feedback.

New Features:

• Items with the same name and unit of measure are now grouped together.
• More icons have been added to the shopping list to make it easier to identify items.

Bug fixes:

• Adding items to the shopping list now preserves the recipe quantities.

The app is now faster and more responsive than ever. We've made several optimizations under the hood to improve the overall performance. Enjoy the speed boost! 🚀

Especially pages like cookbooks, user profiles, shopping list and recipe editor should load faster now. Let us know if you notice any difference.

An AI image generation bug that affected some users in the last 2 days has been fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The Discover page has been updated with new filters to help you find recipes faster.

You can now filter recipes by:

• New recipes from people you follow
• Difficulty level
• Rating
• Cooking time

Additionally, some design updates have been made to improve the overall experience.

In the future we plan to add more filters and options. Stay tuned!

The recently added Shopping List is now even better. We have improved the design and added new features to make it easier for you to manage your shopping list.

When you add ingredients from a Recipe or the Meal Planner to the shopping list, you'll now see a dialog with the ingredients you want to add. You can then tap the ingredients you already have at home to not add them to the shopping list. This way you can keep track of what you need to buy and what you already have.

In addition, you can now delete all items from a section of the shopping list at once. This is especially useful if you want to remove all items from a particular category, such as fruits and vegetables.

Last but not least, we have improved the item icons in the shopping list. They should now better reflect your input and make it easier to identify the items on your list. If you have any feedback or suggestions for further improvements, please let us know. We always appreciate hearing from you.

We have added 50 new website importers to make it easier for you to import your recipes from your favorite websites. Go check out the full list of supported websites.

You have different options to import your recipes:

1. Mobile App: You can use the mobile app to import recipes from your phone or tablet by sharing the recipe with Mr. Cook.
2. Browser Extension: You can use our browser extension to import recipes directly from the website you are visiting.
3. Copy & Paste: You can copy the recipe URL and paste it into Mr. Cook by opening the import recipe dialog

Mr. Cook should be your primary assistant in your daily recipe organization, meal planning, and now shopping list app. Plan your weekly grocery shopping to save time and money.

You can invite other people to join your shopping list. That way you can plan ahead and add items when you know you'll need them.

Many quality-of-life improvements have been made to the Meal Planner. You can now change the date of a planned recipe, duplicate, bulk export, and print your planned week.

Install the Mr. Cook browser extension to import recipes from hundreds of supported websites with a single click.

A few weeks ago we added the follow feature. You can now explore the most followed accounts to find some nice inspiration for your next meals.

Check out the leaderboard.

I want to make cooking more fun and social. So some new features have been added.

Everyone now has a unique username. You can also search for users and see how many followers a user has. You can now follow your friends and family.

In the future I want to add a feed for your followers where you can post recipes. Today it's already possible to post comments under recipes.

For those who prefer to view their recipes in a table instead of the grid, you can now switch between two views. Simply select the table in any recipe list where filters are available.

It's also possible to customize the default view in your display settings.

Scan recipes from handwritten notes, books and magazines to store them digitally. Just snap a picture and let Mr. Cook do the magic.

Start scanning.

This feature requires a Pro membership.

By user request, general AI preferences have been added. These are added to each recipe generation and can be used to enter common likes and dislikes. You can enter things like gluten free, no nuts, lactose intolerant, or other preferences.

Note: Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that preferences will always be followed.

🚀 Advanced AI Model

We've updated our AI model for our Pro users. The model is able to understand more complex requirements, make fewer mistakes and produce better recipes.

Mr. Cook Pro exclusive

Since this model costs a lot more money per recipe generated, it is limited to our Pro users. You can upgrade your account here.

You can now upload your own pictures for your profile. These will be displayed in shared cookbooks, your public recipes and on your public profile page.

To update your picture, go to Profile and click the edit icon next to your picture.

This makes Mr. Cook more personal. I will be adding more ways to personalize your profiles in the future. Stay tuned!

It's been exactly one year since I released the first version of Mr. Cook to a few select users. It's been a crazy year. More than 7,250 users have an active Mr. Cook account and many use Mr. Cook as their primary source for all their recipes.

For this year, Mr. Cook was completely free to use. I paid all the expenses because I wanted to make a nice application that people would like to use. While I really like it, I need to change that and introduce paid plans to help me cover my increasing costs.

I would like to thank all of you for your support. That's why I've split the free plan into two versions: For all users who joined before February 16, 2024, the free plan has the recipe and shared cookbook limits of the PLUS plan. This is my way of saying thank you and giving something back.

✨ Introducing Mr. Cook PLUS & Pro

I've added two versions of memberships to Mr. Cook: PLUS & Pro. Let me explain why:

Many users want to use Mr. Cook primarily as a recipe management application. For them, the PLUS membership should be the best fit. It includes a higher limit on your own recipes and the number of shared cookbooks. It also increases the number of recipe generations.

For heavy users of recipe generation, you can get the Pro membership to have a high number of recipes you can generate each month.

Both plans are available on all platforms and are shared across all your devices. The plans are available on a monthly, annual, and one-time purchase basis.

Not all benefits are set in stone and may change in the future as I want to experiment and provide the best value for all users.

Best, Jan 👋

There is a new experimental feature. With this feature enabled, you can go into your recipes and let the Mr. Cook AI guess the nutritional values of all the ingredients in the recipe.

Please keep in mind that this feature is in a very early stage of development and will get many more improvements in the coming weeks and months.

Mr. Cook should now feel even faster than before. This includes the speed of the first start & the speed of every action within the app. There are more optimizations to come, but I always try to make Mr. Cook feel as snappy as possible.

Another small but useful addition. The recipes in the Discover page are now filtered by the currently selected UI language. No more scrolling through recipes in another language.

The concept of teams has been removed and is now replaced by cookbooks. Cookbooks allow you to better organize your recipes. You can add a recipe to multiple cookbooks at the same time.

You can invite other users to join your cookbook. You can then work together to create your perfect cookbooks. You can also set cover recipes for your cookbook to make it easier to find.

You can also set permissions so that some users can only see all recipes. By default, any new user can add and remove recipes. In the future, I'll add a setting to change this on a per-cookbook basis.

If you delete a cookbook or remove a recipe from it, the recipe is now kept and is still available to the author of the recipe.

You can also add recipes to cookbooks that you are not the author of to start your dream collections from other users.

📅 Meal planner: Notes & Random Recipes

Please go to the Meal Planner and select your default cookbook. Any recipes you add to the Meal Planner will be assigned to this cookbook by default. You can also use your personal cookbook and switch between all your planners.

Notes are a great way to store information you want to remember as you plan your week. They are shared and can be edited by members of your cookbook.

If you don't know what to cook, you can plan a random recipe. It will select a random recipe from your personal recipes and the recipes shared with the cookbook.

⚡ Mass Actions for Cookbooks

Another big improvement is that you can now add multiple recipes to a cookbook at once. Just go to a cookbook and click the Add Recipe button. Of course, you can also remove multiple recipes from a cookbook at once. Tap and hold a recipe and click Select. This opens the bulk selection view. This is a great time-saver when organizing your recipes.

In the future, I'll also add mass actions to the recipe list, such as deleting a recipe, managing tags, and more. But this is not done yet.

🏷️ Personal Tags

With the above changes comes a simplification. Tags are now only personal. This means you can add them to the recipes you are the author of.

You can still see tags attached to other recipes, but you cannot edit them. This eliminates the confusion between personal and team tags.

👨‍💻 All your data is still there

All teams have been automatically upgraded to Cookbooks. All members are still there and have the same permissions. Except Admins have been demoted to Creators, as there is no Admin role anymore, and all your recipes are still in the teams.

All team tags have been merged with your private tags and all associated recipes are still there.

You don't have to do anything. You can start using all the new features right away.

Importing recipes from other apps & websites is now easier than ever. If you have the latest iOS & Android app installed, just hit the share button and select Mr. Cook. The recipe will automatically import in seconds.

Mr. Cook is now available in the Apple App Store 🎉

You can download it for free and access all the features of Mr. Cook.

Mr. Cook can now convert recipe units. Both metric and imperial units are supported.

Simply go to a recipe and select the three dots next to the ingredients. There you can choose between "Keep original", "Metric" and "Imperial".

Please note that this feature may not recognize all units in all languages.

Have fun cooking!

Looking for inspiration from other users? Find hundreds of public, free recipes on Mr. Cook.

Go to the Discover page to view the recipes now.

Recently the Recipe Generator was added.

A suitable image is now automatically generated for the created recipes.

Ingredient groups and headings can now be used for instructions. Ingredient groups appear in the ingredient list with a heading and are grouped accordingly.

To create an ingredient group, simply add a colon ending heading and add the ingredients below.

Headings can be used instead of the automatically generated step number headings.

Headings can also be inserted with a line ending in a colon. The step text then starts on the line after the heading.

The Mr. Cook Android app is now available. It can be downloaded for free.

All the features of the web version are available in the app.

We've improved the speed of the app by making internal optimizations and reducing the size of the app.

This means that the app now loads faster and uses less data.

We hope you notice these improvements and continue to enjoy the app. Have fun surfing faster! 🏄‍♀️

We have added a great feature to Mr. Cook: The recipe generator! With it you can easily and quickly generate recipes with the help of artificial intelligence. 🎉

You can enter a recipe idea that you've always wanted to try, and Mr. Cook will generate a suitable recipe for you. 🍽

You can also enter a list of ingredients you would like to use. Mr. Cook will then create a recipe for you that includes those ingredients. 🥕

You can also enter personal preferences such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, etc. 🥦

Please note that the recipe generator is still in alpha stage. We are constantly working to improve the quality of the generated recipes. 🚀 We would appreciate your feedback! 🙏

You can now use the new dialogs to import your recipes and perform other actions in Mr. Cook. The new dialogs are optimized for use on touchscreens and provide a better user experience than the previous dialogs.

The desktop dialogs have not changed.

Try it now by clicking the import button on your phone.

We have added a new feature to Mr Cook: The Recipe Planner 🎉

The closed beta version of the Android app has been launched. The app is available in the Play Store, but can only be installed via an invitation link. All features of the app are already included, but bugs may still occur. An email with the invitation link has been sent to all beta testers.

If you are interested in testing the app, please contact us.

We now officially support importing recipes from the German TV show Hensslers Schnelle Nummer. Try it by clicking the Import button in the recipe list.

Let us know if you have any problems.

We have added a list of all supported recipe imports. This list will be updated automatically as we add new imports.

You can find the list in Recipe imports.
