Project Foodie: Guided Cooking Reviews

by Ry1357

I was looking for a good cooking app for a date night, and came by what seemed to be this gem of an app. I downloaded ProjectFoodie , found what seemed to be an amazing recipe, spent 30 dollars on ingredients to make it properly, and went for it. Lo and behold when I go to cook, ProjectFoodie immediately crashes every time I try to access the recipe... that would be alright if I hadn’t just bought all the ingredients. I can be good at winging a recipe... but not the best. Especially when trying to impress someone and having purchased the best quality ingredients. Very disappointing.

Looks cool, would love to try it, but it’s crashing EVERY single time I open a recipe.

Looking at past reviews, it seems like this has happened several times this year.... so as a busy person, when I come home and want to cook, it wouldn’t be cool if ProjectFoodie I’m about to rely on to cook dinner suddenly doesn’t work (and I would expect this to keep happening into the future).

No thanks... delete... next!

I’m going to amend my review. They now have search options for gluten free and gluten free optional recipes. Not very many. It it’s a start. Thanks for listening.

My original review: I really wanted to give this a higher score but it doesn’t meet our family’s needs. This looks like a super fun app. We cook at home because two family members have Celiac. Always looking for new ways to include the family in the cooking process. The videos are great. The shopping list is helpful. But... there are only 9 gluten free recipes. Maybe you could include a search option for recipes that can be easily altered to be gluten free. And or more gluten free recipes.

Just downloaded ProjectFoodie , and I’m so excited to give these recipes a try. I’m a pretty confident cook, but having real time videos to cook along with is fantastic. I know my skills will only get better. The fact that you can easily scale a recipe up or down is seriously amazing. My only nitpick is not having nutritional information for recipes, that would be really helpful.

ProjectFoodie looks great! I haven’t tried anything yet, but it looks inviting and easy to use and the recipes look inventive.
One thing, though: I wish there was a kosher category for the recipes. It would make ProjectFoodie more useful to me and be more inclusive.

Im not much of a cook but these videos are extremely helpful for someone who has little to no experience at the kitchen and would like to cook with a detailed step-by-step guide. I would like to give notice to one of the steps of the tomato braised shrimp. The amount of salt ( 1 tbsp 2 tsps) that needs to be put on the shrimp is way too much.

Amended review: So I had a small issue with ProjectFoodie regarding crashing and not being able to link my fb account, which I mentioned in my original review (below). I very quickly got a response from the development t team alerting me that the issues I was having have been addressed, and I am now having a very smooth and enjoyable experience with ProjectFoodie ! Kudos to the development team, they seem to genuinely care about providing the best possible experience with ProjectFoodie . That being said, if you’re a fan of food or cooking, this is a wonderful tool. The instructions, given step-by-step and in real time, are easy to follow and understand. Definitely worth the download. Rating upgraded to five stars.

So I’m really enjoying ProjectFoodie, and the videos are educational and entertaining. But ProjectFoodie keeps crashing and giving me error codes! I’ve also tried creating a new account using the Facebook and email options, and again with the error codes! Please fix this as ProjectFoodie could be of great use to a lot of people

Love ProjectFoodie - no hassle to cook great tasting meals. I like that i don’t have to worry about buying more ingredients than I need and I’m also able to understand the overall process thanks to the quick preview videos. Definitely recommend this to all levels of cooks - the grocery lists are also a huge plus.

From the moment I saw the previews and free videos offered on ProjectFoodie , I knew I wanted the full subscription. I have tried a couple recipes so far, and think it is well worth the reasonable $2.99/month. Sure there are countless recipes on the internet, but the instructional value alone elevates this to so much more than just a recipe app. I love the ability to quickly adjust the ingredient measurements to the amount of people, as well as the shopping list. Two major bonus features that show you pay attention to what the user would want. I really appreciate the tips that are given along the way in the videos, the scope of knowledge, and the fact that these recipes require so little ingredients to make restaurant quality meals. Keep up the great work!

I never write app reviews but ProjectFoodie is incredible. For someone who is a beginner it’s so hard to find something that shows the fundamentals of cooking. The videos are detailed and help me understand what I’m doing rather than just following along. Love it! Best cooking app out there

by Jbasque

ProjectFoodie is amazing. The walkthrough of the recipe, with tips and timers really make the whole experience of cooking awesome. I never really enjoyed cooking from recipe as it felt stressful, but having the chef walk you through everything along the way makes learning so much better. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends!

ProjectFoodie has turned me from someone who hates cooking and was scared of the kitchen to someone who can’t wait to get home so I can try out new recipes! ProjectFoodie has made is so easy to explore the world of cooking no matter what your experience is. Highly recommend!

by Shethought

The recipes are so detailed and I love that I learn skills which are transferable to future recipes thus making me a better cook in general! The only tweak I would love to see would be the addition of recipe feedback. If others have found a particular recipe that shouldn’t be missed, I’d like to know about.

In all other regards, a huge thumbs up!

I'm loving ProjectFoodie and all that it has to offer! I usually just go onto Pinterest to find different recipes but ProjectFoodie options are amazing and I love how you can adjust the amount of people you are wanting to feed and it lets you know how much to get!
I am feeling more confident in the kitchen and excited to keep trying new things to!

by Ayana.sheccid

Wow! ProjectFoodie is so well put together, thumbs way up!! I’m super appreciative of ProjectFoodie being an amateur chef in the making, I look forward to cooking all the recipes posted on here! Also, I love how you can toggle with ingredient amount based on the serving sizes. One last thing, compliments to the videographers and the design people, I look forward to what ProjectFoodie has to offer and it’s future!

As someone who finds it difficult to find allergy-friendly food recipes, ProjectFoodie makes it easy and simple. If I want to impress a few friends or even cook for my family this is ProjectFoodie I go to. The simple layout and straightforward directions make cooking fun, no matter your skill level. Looking forward to using more of ProjectFoodie 's unique features in the future!

ProjectFoodie is amazing! The videos are well made and entertaining, and the recipes we’ve tried so far are wonderful. I also really like the detailed short videos on specific techniques.
I only wish there were more vegetarian/vegan recipes, but they have definitely been adding more in this category since I first downloaded ProjectFoodie a few months ago.

by Matty.Zee

This has been the best date night for me and my hubbie. It is really fool proof, I cook a little but would never even attempt the recipes in here... but the way the videos make CERTAIN you don’t miss a single tiny thing is unlike any other tutorial I found. Absolutely delicious and honestly rewarding to make meals like these on our own. The instructor uses this to train the chefs in his restaurant and I can see why. We are trying the cod this weekend!

by Vandaj

I love the general layout of ProjectFoodie and the fact that it has videos and it’s free is just mind blowing! Loved to make a contribution, since it gave me the true freedom to experience and work with ProjectFoodie and decide whether I want to pay or not! I was just looking for chocolate chip cookies since most of the online recipes are basically off and I’m not gonna waste ingredients on them! Waiting for your cookies recipes guys! 🥰❤️

by LasPosadas

Really have enjoyed the recipes and cooking videos on ProjectFoodie. The videos have been very interesting and easy to watch, and the recipes are delicious. Looking forward to more new recipes and tutorials. My only criticism would be that recipes are almost written as if only one person is cooking, so when cooking with my wife it has been hard to follow. Also, recipes are only available through ProjectFoodie and are not posted online. Would be great to be able to export to our recipe keeping app. Not huge criticisms but just wanted to share my feedback. Keep up the good work!

There is something about a production that is technically correct, beautifully done but a total bore. This is not. The kitchen looks likes your home, the approach is as if you were in your kitchen teaching your friend how to make a dish they love but have never made. Then the fun ensues. Then the magic happens because your friend is learning techniques at the same time relaxed, hence the knowledge sinks in without the pressure to take notes then trying to recreate at home still feeling lost.
