About this app

Parsnip is THE destination for learning to cook. On Parsnip, complex cooking expertise is broken down into quick, bite-size quizzes. All you have to do is play, learn the dishes that interest you, skip what doesn’t, and you’ll cook like a chef before you know it. From your morning coffee to waiting in line at the grocery store, Parsnip helps you level up your cooking skills.
Inside, you’ll find more than 50 levels that challenge your cooking ability across 6 categories: shopping, ingredients, equipment, prepping, making, and techniques. For every level you complete, earn stars toward your Star Count. The more you play, the better you and the app can analyze your strengths and weaknesses. Complete every level and cook all the dishes!
Get in on the ground floor. We are just getting started We are always adding more dishes and levels. Let us know the dishes you want to see in app. We can’t make any promises, but dishes that get love tend to jump to the front of the line.

Ratings and reviews

Stellar idea for an app. I've been cooking professionally for 6 years, and this is actually a very nice tool for keeping your knowledge sharp. It's kind of a duolingo for cooks. Definitely needs more content, and there are definitely a few head scratcher questions here or there where sometimes the answer isn't fully correct, but few and far between.

This app teaches you cooking principles that you can apply to any dish. The quizzes are short and fun. The recipies are generally a bit complex (but there are still a few simpler recipes available). There aren't a lot of recipies but that isn't a problem because you can apply the skills you learn to any recipe (in theory, I haven't actually made anything yet). I wish It would give you a bit more of a push to make your first recipe once you've completed all of the quizzes for it

I like the app, it's simple, but they should add a small section with all the info per topic, then a quiz, or teach you something beforehand is boring if you keep guessing over and over. At least for me, this is boring and frustrating, no info beforehand, nothing. I thought it would be like Duolingo because I saw people describing it that way, that it will least give you some info to learn from during the quizzes not just throwing you questions and if you don't know you gotta keep guessing.
