About this app

Cook: Cooklang format recipe app – Lossless Recipes

Most recipe apps strip away the details that make recipes actually work. Cook preserves everything by using Cooklang recipe format based on text files.

Capture How Recipes Really Work
Real recipes have structure. A pie has a crust and a filling. Bread has preferments. Sauces get referenced across dishes. Cook handles all of it:

- Sections – Keep dough, filling, frosting, and garnish organized as distinct parts of one recipe
- Recipe references – Link to your pizza dough from your pizza recipe instead of copying it everywhere
- Shorthand preparations – Write "onion, diced" once and the app understands both the ingredient and the prep
- Notes and metadata – Oven temps, timing cues, source attribution—nothing gets lost

Shopping Lists That Match How You Shop
Group ingredients your way: by store section, by recipe component, or by store. Cooklang builds your list automatically and lets you configure the groupings to fit your routine.

Your Recipes, Your Files
Cook runs on Cooklang, an open-source plain text format. Create recipes on desktop, sync via CookCloud, or any sync app by selecting local folder. Works offline. No lock-in—your recipes stay yours forever.

- Organize in folders
- Scale by servings, multiplier, or ingredient ratio
- Share and export freely

Download and start building a recipe collection that captures how you actually cook.
