Your recipe collection.
In one editor.
Cook Editor is a desktop app for writing, previewing, and planning meals from your .cook files. With CookBot AI assistance built in.
Write in plain Cooklang
Syntax highlighting, inline validation, and autocomplete for ingredients
and cookware. Your recipes stay as .cook text files —
diffable, git-friendly, future-proof.
Beautiful preview. Shopping list included.
One click turns your .cook file into a scaled, chip-tagged recipe view.
Select multiple recipes and Cook Editor builds a combined shopping list,
grouped by aisle.
Meal plans in a single file
.menu files link recipes across days and meals. Scale by household size,
see the week at a glance, and let the shopping list flow from the plan.
