Zest is a meal planning utility designed for users who collect recipes from various online sources but struggle with organization and scaling. Its core functionality allows for importing recipes directly from browser links, converting them into a standardized, clean format within the app. A standout feature is the adjustable serving button, which automatically recalculates ingredient quantities, eliminating the manual math of doubling or halving a recipe. For less experienced cooks, embedded tutorial videos activate by tapping highlighted techniques, providing clear visual guidance for tasks like chopping or specific cooking methods. User feedback suggests the measurement conversions during import are reliably accurate, which addresses a common pain point. However, some reviews indicate a desire for deeper integration, such as direct linking to grocery delivery apps for ingredient lists. Despite this, Zest streamlines the process of moving from a scattered collection of bookmarks to a practical, interactive weekly meal plan.

i was a bit skeptical before i tried one of the recipes i imported because i didn't know if the measurements were accurate, but they were... there's a button to choose how many servings you want, so then you don't have to remember to double, half, etc. AMAZING
