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 really like what is being done here. it has an extremely generous free tier and I learned a lot even in my first 30 mins checking out the app. Unfortunately like most cooking resources on the internet, it is totally US-centric. It uses farenheit for temperature, for example, and there's no option to change it in the settings (even though every other country on earth uses metric!). Other than units, many of the ingredient suggestions are also only accessible to North Americans.

i love this app! parsnip breaks down every step of the cooking process. recipes can go over ingredients (what to look for when buying, how to store, how to prepare), cooking or preparing processes (mincing, boiling, simmering), and where you have to follow the recipe vs where you can improvise. understanding the WHY behind cooking makes that recipe easier AND helps with similar dishes in the future. I'm very happy with the app :)))
