(Not)Recipes for iOS is a new way to find—and share—cooking ideas and inspiration using photos. Its the only app to tap into the smart, spontaneous cooking really happening in peoples homes—and show how its done. (Spoiler alert: Most of the time, theyre not using recipes.)

GET INSPIRED
See how a community of passionate home cooks eats well every day, through real-time snapshots with quick, helpful descriptions—not just of what they cooked for dinner, but how.

SHARE YOUR COOKING
Get encouragement and feedback from a like-minded community—where everyone is there for the food (not the cats or the sunsets), and wants to see what you had for dinner.

FEATURES
• Dive deep into cooking topics you care about via hashtags like #cocktails and #breadbaking
• Search ideas for the ingredients in your fridge or pantry
• Share links to recipes, videos, and cookbooks (and how you riffed)
• Scroll through a complete real-time feed, or a featured list curated by Food52s editors
• Upload your own (Not)Recipes, with as much or as little detail as you like
• See ingredients automatically detected and displayed in mini-grocery lists
• See who’s favoriting your (Not)Recipes (and love them back)
• Gussy up your photos with filters inspired by food personalities like Julia Child and Mario Batali—that make even your quickest, most dimly lit shots look great
• Comment and reply—ask cooks questions about a technique or ingredient, or offer words of encouragement or your own ideas for riffing
• Favorite (Not)Recipe ideas to cook from later
• Play along in monthly contests on inspiring themes: what to do with a boatload of zucchini, the dinner you cook when you dont feel like cooking, not sad desk lunches

About Food52:
Food52 was founded in 2009 by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, two authors, editors, and opinionated home cooks who formerly worked for The New York Times. Since then, Food52 has created six cookbooks, a cooking and home shop, a podcast, a cooking hotline, and a lot of marginally professional how-to videos—and won many a James Beard and IACP award doing it. We love recipes, but dont always use them. For more about us, go here: https://food52.com/about

Pros and cons of (Not)Recipes by Food52 app for iPhone and iPad

(Not)Recipes by Food52 app good for

I cant express how awesome this app is! Its my go to app for ideas and technique. Not too many apps keep simplicity in mind and are as interesting and useful as 52. Also its neat to see others so inspired by displaying and explaining their beautiful meals as I am. Thank you 52 app developers.
Have had this app for ages. Has gotten so much better recently. Highly inspirational. Nice work.
Love this idea and using it but since u cant follow anyone it is hard to go back to cooks pages you really like and be inspired.
Not an actual recipe app, but more a repository of shared food ideas and fun photos of other peoples food. I get a lot of inspiration from this app.
I love this app. As the name indicates its NOT a recipe app. Its more like a cooking version of Pinterest. A food mood board. Its not for beginners who are looking to learn to cook but for people who already know how to cook and wing it but need inspiration.

Some bad moments

Whats the point of this app? Cant search recipes, Cant access saved recipes from the website profile. What am I supposed to use this for? Why wouldnt you just make it compatible with the website?
I am a big, no HUGE fan of Food52, and I was eager to check this out. Strike 1 : as soon as the app was installed I searched for short ribs. Result: "Oh dear-cannot find any ingredients named Short ribs" Strike 2: I just see pictures in the search results. no title, description , whether it was a contest winner etc. Strike 3: There is no comment from the author or the editors, unlike what I am accustomed to reading in every recipe. Please, take this app off. It is emabarassing.
Love the app. Love the recipes. Just wont sync with my computer favorites.
Wont let me post photos. App closes itself whenever I try to. APP CRASHES!!!
This is a cool idea, and I enjoy swiping through the pictures for inspiration, but half the time I click on one picture and an entirely different one shows up. No, this is not a fat thumbs issue. The app has some real programming problems. Fix those, and youve got a fun app.
Randomly look at pictures of food that you can search by only one ingredient and then not find a recipe for it? Who thought this was useful? How about an app that lets you search Food52 recipes instead?
