Quarantine: 9 recipe apps for entertaining in the kitchen

Although delivery applications are one of the most requested services now that we are quarantined, many who have had their income shaken – even with emergency aid – are not in a position to pay more for food. For that, recipe apps are the best alternatives.

Regardless of your financial situation, cooking at home is an excellent way to save money and even entertain yourself, if you are forced to stay home and cannot work. After all, this is a good way to use your time and develop this essential skill.

That’s why recipe apps are so important in this quarantine period. To help you find the ideal one for you, we list the 10 best recipe apps for entertaining in the kitchen.

Check it out below!

1. Tastemade

Tastemade is a content portal on cuisine and tourism, it is perfect to follow everything that the online channel has to offer. It is worth mentioning that most of the published content is from recipes, made by professional presenters.
