Pastina

Most recipe apps want you to publish for the whole world. Pastina starts from the opposite idea: your recipes are for the people you love first. A recipe book that stays in the family, and a cook mode so you never lose your place. ★ Your book, not a social network Your recipes are only visible to the people in your circle, and you choose who joins it. Your profile is private by default. If you ever want to open up, you can make it public — your decision. ★ Write recipes the way you tell them Title, ingredients, steps, prep time, servings, season, type of dish. Nothing is required except the title: a family recipe does not always come with a photo, and that is no reason not to write it down. ★ Cook mode A full-screen view that walks through the recipe one step at a time, with timers picked out of the text itself — "leave to rest for 20 minutes" becomes a timer you just tap. Your screen stays awake while you cook. ★ Find a recipe in an instant Search by title, by ingredient or by username. Filter by season or type of dish. Your book sorts itself alphabetically. ★ A feed with taste Recipes from the people close to you, what is in season, and what suits the time of day. Nothing endless to scroll: just enough to find tonight's idea. ★ Share with a single link Send one recipe to someone who does not have the app, with a link that opens in their browser — without making your whole book public. ★ Show what you cooked Add a photo of your plate to someone else's recipe. It is the best way to say thank you for one. ★ Pastina Premium Everything above is free. Premium adds one thing: photograph a page of a notebook or a recipe card and it fills itself in — title, ingredients, steps. It is the fastest way to rescue your grandmother's recipe book before it falls apart. Monthly or yearly subscription, cancellable any time from Google Play. Available in English, French and Italian.
