The Guardian have just released a companion app for their Feast supplement (weekly magazine that comes with the Saturday paper). https://www.theguardian.com/help/insideguardian/2024/apr/17/introducing-the-feast-app

 

I've only had a brief look at it but it seems really nicely designed and has a few handy features like the ability to save notes for recipes and a cook along feature that keeps the screen live with easy step by step instructions.  It also has in-app conversions for US measurements/temperatures if you're so inclined.

 

The main draw for me is the recipe quality is really good, I love sitting down with my Saturday morning coffee and picking out a dish or two for our weekly menu.

 

It's subscription based but at £29 a year it feels a decent deal.  Six month free trial too.

 

Example recipe which we had for dinner tonight was the chipotle chicken and black-eyed bean salsa from here

It is not yet available for android.  They list monthly North American prices for this as $3.99 for US subscribers and $2.99 for Canadian subscribers.  I have a feeling those prices should be reversed?  In any event, I'll be giving it a test drive when they come out with the android version.

I see only a 14-day free trial.

 

It looks like there's free access for certain supporters of the Guardian (money level, I imagine).

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

I downloaded the app. The Apple App Store says there’s a 3-month free trial then either $38.99/year or $3.99/month and that’s what I was offered. Not sure if there are better offers floating about. 
I haven’t entered my payment info so I can’t see any recipe details.
