From text to context

A saved recipe is useful.
A recipe Cookery understands is better.

Cookery finds relationships inside the recipe, so the information you need can appear exactly when you need it.

Made for the way recipes reach your Mac

Bring it in. Clean it up. Make it yours.

Save from your browser

Use Cookery from Safari or the macOS Share menu to import from nearly any recipe site. A recipe arrives as an editable recipe—not a bookmark you have to decipher later.

When that recipe blog is lost to time, the recipe remains.

Times become timers

Cookery recognizes durations and time ranges in recipe steps. Start a timer with a click and keep it visible while you cook.
