We took the liberty to preselect three collections for you: ’Cooked’, ’Want to cook’, and ’Recently deleted’, which cannot be deleted. But besides those, you can create and delete your own collections.

On top of the 3 preselected collections, you can create 7 other personal recipe collections to categorize your countless favorites. Yay!

You can go to your smartphone settings and turn your KptnCook push notifications on and off. But seriously: do you really wanna miss out on our legendary food puns and jokes? We didn’t think so ;-)

Signing up offers you many advantages: You can sync your favorite recipes across different devices, like using your smartphone for shopping and your tablet for cooking. Share shopping lists with your family or flatmates to ensure your fridge is never empty. Create your own recipe collections and add personal notes to recipes. And, last but not least: save more than 25 recipes in your favorites and track your cooking activity.

We have a whole crew of creative cooking Kptns who come up with new creations for you every day! Besides that, we’re lucky to be supported by many talented food bloggers who share our passion for cooking. If you’re a fan of a specific blogger’s recipe, just click on the blogger’s bio below ’VIEW STEPS’ and visit their blog for more food inspo!

We categorize recipes as vegan, vegetarian, dishes with beef, pork, poultry, fish, and seafood. You can recognize the category by its icon. Additionally, you can discover many more categories using the filter function in your favorites.

Because they’re so delicious! You can discover something new every day. By consciously decreasing your meat consumption, you are not only doing your health but also the environment a great service.

We are flexitarians: we love veggies and eat meat at most 1-2 times a week. Less is more, and good quality is more important than quantity.

We are huge fans of seasonal recipes and try to cook with in-season vegetables and fruits as much as possible. But if we feature a tomato in Winter instead of just cooking with cabbage, turnips, and root vegetables, we hope you’ll understand ;-) You can also easily filter your favorites to find recipes that match the current season.

We generally think organic food is great, especially for fish and meat. However, some items are harder to find, especially in conventional supermarkets. That’s why you’ll find both organic and non-organic products in the shopping list.

We do our best to make sure all the ingredients can be found in the selected supermarket. However, sometimes stores change their orders causing certain items to be out of stock. If for some reason you cannot find an ingredient, maybe there’s something similar? If you have questions, you can always text us on Instagram @kptncookapp or write an email to feedback@kptncook.com. Or try getting creative – cooking is an adventure!

Salt, pepper, olive oil, sunflower oil, sugar, and a few spices are a good start. A stove is obviously helpful, and as far as equipment goes: knives, pots, pans, a whisk, and last but not least: a blender or mixer. This way, you can make delicious, creamy soups!

For fresh, loose ingredients that are weighed individually, we can’t provide exact prices. Every piece of fruit and vegetable is different. Therefore, the prices are based on average weights (e.g., an apple weighing 200g), which should not deviate significantly.

We strive to provide exact prices. However, regional supermarket promotions can vary, leading to small discrepancies that we can’t always account for. 

With the help of our nutritionists, we cook every recipe and calculate the ingredients needed in one serving, allowing us to multiply it according to your selected number of servings. So regardless of whether you are preparing a romantic candlelight dinner or a big party, the servings calculator tells you the correct ingredient quantities.

For each ingredient in a recipe, we calculate the nutritional value per single serving. We determine the number of calories and grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The colored partial circle around the nutritional measurements refers to the portion of the nutritional element this recipe contains based on the average values for adults. These average values are 2000 cal, 50g protein, 70g fat, and 270g carbs.

Great question! First of all, it's pronounced Captain Cook. ;-) It’s a nod to the British explorer James Cook, who discovered many islands in the Pacific Ocean in the 18th century. For us, cooking and combining ingredients and spices is also a daily adventure, one we’d love to take you on.

We are a diverse group of enthusiastic foodies from various backgrounds: app development, nutrition science, design, you name it! Our main goal is to help you and many others prepare healthy meals quickly instead of opting for fast food. While we might not be gourmet chefs, we have amassed a wealth of foodie knowledge that we’re eager to share with you.
