Fresco - Smart, Guided Cooking Description
Fresco is your personal sous chef, ready and willing to help you try new recipes or serve up your favorites. With a smart step-by-step format and recipes made for your appliances, cooking will be so easy you’ll want to do it every day.

Fresco is the only app that seamlessly brings recipes, appliances, and home cooks together to create a smart step-by-step cooking experience. Our recipes work with over 100 different appliance models from Instant Pot to Thermomix to Kenwood, simply tell us what smart appliances you have, and we’ll find the perfect recipes to work with them.

Start cooking in a flash.
Whether you’re a new cook or have been cooking for years, we’ll guide you through every recipe thanks to our guided recipe format. We’re always two steps ahead so that all you have to do is focus on that delicious dish.

Smart recipes for smart appliances.
From Instant Pot® to Thermomix®; connected ovens from GE Appliances, LG Electronics, and Bosch; to the Kenwood kCook Multi Smart and CookEasy+, there are over 100 different appliance models that can be controlled from the Fresco recipes app. Simply connect what you have in your kitchen, and we’ll find the perfect recipes to work with them. From timers to temperatures, we tell your appliance what it needs to do at the right moment so you don’t have to.

Make the internet your cookbook
We can take a recipe from your favorite website or blogger and give you smart step-by-step instructions. Pumpkin bread from Food 52? Pasta from Donal Skehan? We can do it all, and now, so can you. It is also completely ad-free!

Create what you crave
Whether you’re looking for a dairy-free dessert or a vegetarian chili, only see the recipes you’ll love. Filter food by dietary needs, preferences, or meal type (gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, vegetarian, nut-free, low fat, low sugar, paleo) and get cooking. Once you’ve found the perfect recipe, use the app to resize quantities, make ingredients substitutions, and make the recipe work for you.

Now we’re cooking.

Even more features to sink your teeth into:
-Ingredient substitution: Don’t miss out on a recipe because of one ingredient. Substitute out a missing ingredient with whatever you have to hand.
-Customize your serving size: With recipe resizing, you can scale the recipe quantity up or down in a cinch, reducing food waste without altering results. Don’t worry, we always respect the maximum capacity of the appliance you’re using so that there’s no overspill.
-Personal collections: Save and organize your recipes into private folders, making it easier and faster to plan and cook great food at home.

WIRED Magazine has called Fresco “a pretty amazing thing.” Fresco has also been praised in Gigaom, TechCrunch, MacWorld, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Gizmodo, and many more.

If you knead us, we’re here. Email us on support@frescocooks.com with any questions. We would love to hear from you.

2.0.0 2019-09-23
This release brings a major change to the look and feel of the app. 

We’ve completely redesigned how you “make” a recipe with Drop, providing a smoother cooking experience where recipes are quicker and easier to follow. 


Here’s what’s new: 


Ingredient groups: Now the app can tell you to add all the spices at once, instead of one at a time. Ingredient groups show you detailed information about which ingredients to add and when, so there’s no flipping back and forth to an ingredient list while you cook.


Vertical scroll: Recipe instructions scroll vertically instead of horizontally, to fit more on the screen for phone users


Free form recipe steps: For connected appliances to read the instructions sent from the app, language is presented as structured text. But sometimes, the cook needs more info than the appliance. Improvements to our sentence structure allows recipe editors to be more descriptive and helpful, without losing any of the machine readable structure that can control appliances.

Browse anonymously: you can now browse through recipes in the app without creating an account or logging in.
