Us, too. That's why we created CookShelf, the app that helps you make the most of your cookbook collection, and cook from the books you already own.\n\nGot too much zucchini in the summer, and an excess of cabbage in winter? Or are you just trying to find that one Bolognese recipe you love and make every year, but can *never* remember which book it’s in? Quickly find recipes across your cookbooks that use what you already have—no more forgotten vegetables wilting in your crisper drawer. Simply search by ingredient, dish type, or whatever you're craving, and CookShelf shows exactly which cookbook has what you need and what page it's on.\n\nCookShelf is built for home cooks who love real cookbooks and real creators. Set a goal for how many cookbook recipes you'll cook this year, track your progress, and look back at everything you've made. Plus, get inspired by what our community is cooking from the books you own. We bridge the gap between physical cookbooks and digital convenience—because the best recipes are already on your shelf.\n\n◆ Instantly search across your cookbooks and thousands of online recipes\n◆ Find recipes based on what's in your fridge\n◆ See ingredients lists before opening your books\n◆ See what people are cooking: browse real cooks from the books already on your shelf—what people made, the notes they left, the little tweaks that made it better\n◆ Follow your friends: find the people whose cooking you trust and follow along\n◆ Track your cooking: bookmark recipes, mark what you've cooked, add photos and notes, and look back at your cooks timeline\n◆ Set a cooking goal and watch your progress grow throughout the year\n◆ Reduce food waste: use up CSA box ingredients before they spoil\n◆ Finally cook from those cookbooks you love but rarely open\n◆ 16,000+ cookbooks indexed\n\nJoin thousands of home cooks who are rediscovering the treasures in their cookbook collections every day.\n\n\nHOW DOES IT WORK?\nCookShelf includes both a free version and a Premium (paid) subscription. \n\nThe free version lets you add up to 5 cookbooks and use all of CookShelf's features for those books—search, bookmarking, cooking goals, and tracking.\n\nPremium unlocks your full collection:\n◆ Add unlimited cookbooks\n◆ Search across your entire library and over 15,000 indexed titles\n\nYou can start a free trial to access Premium. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you'll be automatically charged the price shown on the payment screen for your chosen plan. Your CookShelf Premium subscription renews automatically each month or year until you cancel. Canceling disables the automatic renewal, but you'll keep full access through the end of your current period. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.\n\n\nTerms of Use: https://www.cookshelf.app/terms\nPrivacy: https://www.cookshelf.app/privacy","facts":{"developer_id":1784556751,"developer_url":"https://www.cookshelf.app/","first_released":"2025-08-07T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://help.cookshelf.app/","privacy_url":"https://www.cookshelf.app/privacy","website_url":"https://www.cookshelf.app/","app_version":"2.26.0","release_notes":"- Long-press a saved shelf in search to remove it\n- Bug fixes and performance improvements","rating_current_version":4.64504,"rating_count_current_version":817,"star_counts":[35,12,30,54,689],"genres":["Food & Drink","Books"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":["Infrequent/Mild Alcohol, Tobacco, or Drug Use or References"],"device_families":["iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-13T11:13:12.883Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-13T19:36:12.940Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-13T11:49:13.202Z","placed_at":"2026-11-13T11:40:12.926Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T08:58:13.168Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Searches recipes across your cookbook collection by ingredient or dish, showing which book and page has them, and.","what_is":"CookShelf is a Food & Drink app for finding recipes in cookbooks you already own.
