It’s called (Not)Recipes for a reason – it’s about your community of fellow cooks at home, with easy and comforting tips to make their own twist on a typical dish. Personally, it’s helped me a ton in cooking healthier for myself. The easy interface allows you to click on a hashtag, like #quinoa, and see inventive combos like pairing quinoa with seared chicken and bell peppers.

My great experience of using (Not)Recipes is especially relevant in helping me choose substitutes for my unhealthy (but favorite) recipes, and changing my routine up for the better. Now, you can try your own take on learning to cook, with everything from pancakes to masala chai, at your fingertips. Download it on iOS here.
