Tired of cooking the same 3 meals on repeat? Zest integrates a mind-blowing cooking education into your routine. Learn to cook with us through step-by-step explanations of foundational cooking concepts in fewer than 10 minutes and dishes that bring the concept to life. Our recipes are created by two former Michelin star chefs, distilled by a home chef, and cooked by you, the superstar home cook that you are (or will be). We don't assume any prior culinary knowledge. We meet you where you are and help you improve. Stop copying traditional recipes - start learning from Zest. We've cooked those delicious Bon Appetit dinners. But when we took away the recipes we felt like lost puppies. Zest is designed to teach you the how's and why's of cooking. So when the recipe is gone you can confidently navigate the kitchen. The promise: Taste improvement after one dinner with Zest. FEATURES: STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS We've all tried cooking a TikTok recipe. You rewatch the video 13 times to figure out what the hell is going on. Zest embeds videos throughout recipes so you can click into content when you need it. No more pausing and restarting. Learn at your own pace. CONCEPT VIDEOS Watch a short video on a new concept at your own pace and then cook recipes that reinforce what you've learned. We dive into topics like the science of tasting and the basics of seasoning, sautéing, roasting and more! SKILL VIDEOS Don't know how to dice an onion? Don't be embarrassed, we got you covered. Skill videos are linked in each recipe to guide you along, so you don't have to watch Gordon Ramsey on YouTube (we love his accent too). CURATED MENU Choose a menu to fit your preferences. Tired of wasting produce? Search for dishes including what’s already in your fridge. Got allergies? Compile safe recipes in your menu to find them when you’re ready to get cooking. GROCERY LIST Shop your menu with our automated grocery list. Plus, utilize our helpful tips while you shop. Don't know what a neutral oil is? We got you covered. PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS Rate the recipes you cook, so we can recommend similar ones. Feedback? Technical Issues? Killer ideas you want to contribute to make our app better? Email us at support@zestapp.co. We're always here to help and would love to chef up new ideas together! End User Licensing Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

I genuinely tried this for the first time and the simplicity of it made life taste so much better. Even with pre-made foods First Time Ever Rating Anything I genuinely tried this for the first time and the simplicity of it made life taste so much better. Even with pre-made foods
I love zest and how useful it is. The only problem is how expensive it is! The app has so many amazing features and really teaches you about cooking, but it’s like 7 dollars a month which is price for an app. Zest review I love zest and how useful it is.

Honestly I would continue to pay for premium after my trial if it was an option for me right now, such an amazing service and i’ll be keeping it for my cooking needs. I can’t wait until they expand their menu and options even more than they already have. Found them through instagram and i’m glad i did me and my friends have used it plenty!

I was STRUGGLING. I wasnt taught autonomy as a child and after years of fight or flight, I’ve finally got the ability to sit and think about my food intake. I struggled with ed’s and many other things that made me DREAD eating nevermind cooking. I tried all the meal kits (ALL of them, even started giving the workers at my leasing office advice) and non of them stuck. I still HATED to eat and cook. Then I tried zest. From the first recipe, I knew I would never look back. I immediately made my fiance download it. I cook every day now and I look forward to it. I made a pot roast guys! Like to be able to say that is…life changing. I feel like I’m prepared to be a mom. When I got sick, I STILL got up and followed these recipes. Something I could never do before. Now I know that when I get sick, I can still feed my babies. My confidence has been 100% boosted. Thank you for everything Zest. Life changing I was STRUGGLING.

The app is amazing!! I got it after seeing it on tiktok, and it’s been helping me since! It’s useful both for explanations and for recipes, and I love comedic aspect of it as well! It’s really good at explaining the basics, which helps when you overthink (me for sure) or when you’re a beginner. It might not be as engaging as Duolingo, but it’s even more relatable and funny, and it’s so useful and informative. I’ve had a blast using it! Soooo relatable! The app is amazing!!
