Cook Step-by-Step with the Tasty App

Tasty is a cooking app from BuzzFeed that became famous for its short, satisfying recipe videos — the overhead-camera style videos where you watch food being made in a fast, visual way. The app takes that video experience and turns it into a fully guided cooking tool that walks you through every step of any recipe.

The Tasty app is free to download and offers thousands of recipes across every type of food: breakfast, dinner, desserts, vegetarian, international cuisines, quick 30-minute meals, and much more. Most features are free, though some premium content may require an optional subscription.

The standout feature is the guided cooking mode. When you start a recipe, the app walks you through each step one at a time on your screen, so you are never scrolling back and forth through a long ingredient list and trying to track where you are. Each step has its own built-in timer if one is needed — the timer starts right on screen without you having to open the clock app separately.

Tasty also has a recipe search by ingredient, which is useful when you have a few things in your refrigerator and want to find something to make with them. Enter what you have, and Tasty surfaces recipes that use those items.

The app lets you save recipes to personal collections so you can organize favorites by category, like "Weeknight Dinners," "Desserts for Guests," or "Healthy Lunches." You can adjust serving sizes and the ingredient amounts update automatically to match.

Tasty also features a shopping list function: add any recipe's ingredients to your list with one tap, then bring your phone to the store and check items off as you find them.
