'Loaf' Launches New Recipe App for Easier Cooking

cook stress free.

By swiping
right for each step of a recipe, the interactive animated design ensures simple
execution of even the hardest instructions, bringing a welcome end to
re-reading and overanalyzing confusing, text heavy recipes. As the culinary
landscape has changed so drastically in recent times, the humble recipe format
has seen no real change in over a thousand years. Loaf has been built to
reimagine the recipe experience for millions of home cooks in search of the
ultimate cooking companion.
As well as
dissecting and overhauling the age-old recipe format, Loaf is growing a global
community of passionate foodies, with a digital cookbook containing 3,500
recipes from over 50 chefs, food bloggers and home cooks. Each recipe provides
information on how many cooking steps are involved, preparation and cooking
time as well as the number of ingredients, calories and servings. Recipes can
be searched easily using filters including meal type, duration, calories and
dietary requirements, as users get recipe recommends based purely on personal
tastes.
Using
intuitive, smart technology, Loaf is also impacting the weekly food shop as the
iPad app will also generate and send personal weekly recipe recommendations,
based on food preferences and dietary requirements, introducing new chefs and
cuisines to users that can be emailed at the click of a button. Once a recipe
has been completed, Loafers can snap and share their creation on social media
to show off their creations or new found cooking skills.
Han-Son Lee,
Loaf CEO and Co-Founder, believes that Loaf is the antidote to the static
recipe. He says: “Loaf has a very simple mission: to make cooking easier. So
many home cooks are frustrated by the static and very much dated recipe format;
they want the recipe to work with them, not against them.
“There are so
many fantastic recipes out there, and an abundance of brilliant ingredients,
but we all have less time to cook. The will is often there to try something
new, but the reality of trying to figure out how to produce a mouth-watering
dish puts people off. Loaf is addressing this by making each step of the
cooking process easier than it's ever been, and we're bringing recipes into the
'smart' age. Whether you want to try a new cuisine, improve your repertoire or
follow a new diet, such as Paleo or low Fodmap, Loaf is the cooking companion
to do this.”
As the foodie
revolution continues to gather momentum, more and more people are integrating
technology into their cooking, whether it is to buy produce or kitchen kit, to
follow new diet regimes, learn new kitchen skills or to get food inspiration.
'Recipe' is the second most Googled search term, with two billion global
searches each month.
Han-Son Lee
continues: “We've seen some really interesting recipe discovery apps already on
the market, but for us, we wanted to take our relationship with technology and
cooking to the next level as we felt that the the recipe needed remodeling, to
bring it up to date with 21st century approaches to cooking. Loaf will change
how people think about cooking, enticing them back into the kitchen by making
the entire cooking process simpler, faster and more exciting.”
Loaf app is
currently free to download from the App Store
