Tasty
An app that shows you how to cook with short video recipes.
What Tasty does
Tasty is BuzzFeed's free recipe app, known for its short overhead cooking videos. You get thousands of recipes with step-by-step videos, a search that suggests dishes from ingredients you have, and a page for recipes you like. It's on iPhone and Android.
If you've seen those fast, top-down cooking videos, you know Tasty. The app collects thousands of them as full recipes, with step-by-step instructions and a cooking mode that keeps you on track at the stove.
It's also handy when you're staring into the fridge. Type in a few ingredients you have and Tasty suggests dishes, or filter by cuisine, occasion, difficulty and time. There's an AI helper for recipe ideas, a page for recipes you've liked, and on iPhone you can send ingredients to Walmart for pickup or delivery.
Tasty is about finding its recipes, not storing ones from other sites. The two store pages also disagree on how many recipes there are. If you want inspiration with a video to follow along, it's one of the best-known free options.
