Ready to take one simple step that will make cooking so much easier? Here at The Kitchn, we’re always serving up new ways to bring you the most delicious ideas that you can trust will work every time. While we are trained food pros, we’re also home cooks who need to feed ourselves and our families day in and day out. So we know how important it is to deliver reliably delicious recipes you’ll want to make over and over.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join The Kitchn as a member, for free. Membership lets you tap into extra special recipes and perks (more on those below!) to make cooking easy and enjoyable — from knowing how to pick the best ingredients to sitting down to eat. All home cooks in our community of 29 million have access to our 10,000 recipes. But we’ve added some members-only features we can’t wait to share with you.
What’s Cooking Live Recipe Feed
Sometimes the only way to figure out what to cook is to hear what everyone else is planning. What’s Cooking Live spotlights the recipes other home cooks are saving in real time.
I could literally stare at it for hours — I’m obsessed with watching what recipes trend to the top of the list! — and you can even participate in the feed yourself. When you save a recipe, it immediately appears in the feed so you can help the others watching figure out what the heck to make tonight.
Cook Mode+
We leveled up basic cook mode tech to make cooking from your device easier than ever. Toggle on Cook Mode+ with any recipe to:
- minimize distracting pop-ups
- follow your screen without it ever going dark (no more entering your password with flour-dusted fingers!)
- check off ingredients as you use them
- collapse steps as you go so you always know what to do next
New, Improved Recipe Box
We’re not exaggerating when we say our new state-of-the-art Recipe Box will get you excited and energized to cook. This is more than just a list of your saved recipes — you can organize them into folders (think: “Michael’s birthday”) and make them public (great for potlucks or collaborating on a holiday menu with family). You can even save stories — like The 45 Best Kitchen Gifts Every Home Cook Will Fall in Love With.
And as always, you can rate, review, and comment on recipes, making notes for yourself for next time and other cooks who always appreciate a helpful tip or swap.
“The Kitchn Daily” Newsletter
Our daily email is filled with new, delicious recipes that are expert-tested and home-cook-approved, trusted cooking tips, must-have groceries, and so much more. (It’s sure to be the best thing in your inbox, but maybe I’m biased!)
