SideChef is an Android application that offers users a selection of more than 18,000 step-by-step recipes for preparing dishes. You can sort them according to your preferences, as well as plan meals and create shopping lists.
Getting started
At the start, you need to fill out a short questionnaire providing your diet, allergies, and favorite dishes of your family members. Also, it is necessary to specify those ingredients that are already in the home pantry. This will allow the app to personalize recipes for you. They are displayed in the feed on the main page of the utility.
Recipes and meal plans
There is a separate tab for searching recipes by names, keywords, and components. It is possible to sort them into different categories – cooking speed, cuisine, and so on. Vegetarian, vegan, low-carb, gluten-free, and other diets are available.
In addition, the application contains recipes from culinary bloggers and famous chefs. For a more detailed search, you can use various filters.
The utility helps you make meal plans for the week, taking into account the products you have. It is possible to create shopping lists and immediately view the range of suitable products in Walmart and Amazon Fresh. Prices and availability are updated in real time.
For beginners in cooking, step-by-step recipes are provided not only with pictures but also with video tutorials. Moreover, there are built-in timers and training videos.
