Mr. Cook review
A recipe organizer that connects imports, meal plans, shopping lists, and nutrition tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mr. Cook brings recipe saving, meal planning, and nutrition tracking together for home cooks who want to organize recipes from websites, social platforms, or physical pages. Users can sort collections with tags and cookbooks, schedule meals by week, and create shopping lists from recipes or meal plans. Its web and mobile apps sync recipes and membership across devices, with a Chrome extension also available.
Imports and scanning are central to the app’s appeal. Mr. Cook supports importing from websites and social platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook, and can turn handwritten notes, books, and magazines into digital recipes. AI recipe generation can use preferences or available ingredients, while Pro adds generation tailored to diet. These features make it a fit for cooks gathering recipes across formats; those who primarily want a fixed, browsable recipe catalog may prefer a service centered on a catalog, since no catalog size is specified here.
The Free plan allows up to 15 saved recipes, 3 AI recipe creations, 3 physical scans, 3 cookbooks, and 1 limited shopping list. Pro adds unlimited recipe saving, scanning, cookbooks, and smart shopping lists, plus nutrition and macros. A 7-day Pro trial is stated, but no Pro price is stated here. Mr. Cook is worth considering if recipe capture and planning are the main job; cooks who need unbounded use on a free plan should look elsewhere. Support is via email, and the product is available on web, iOS, Android, and as a Chrome extension.
