I handle the cooking duties in my household, and that’s not a complaint.
I an now turning to a seemingly unlikely source for inspiration.
There’s no specific number given for the total amount of recipes offered.
I’ve spent the past week familiarizing myself with the additions to Apple News Plus from iOS 18.4.
But it’s the recipe database where you’ll find the true value in Apple News Plus Food.
Additional filters are available if you use the search field.
The Food section logs your recent searches for easy reference later on.
Alas, searches in Food work best with one particular item.
But a search of mine that used kale, apple and dates turned up nothing.
It wants to be your cooking companion as well.
Each recipe in the app contains a list of ingredients and the steps for preparing a dish.
But there’s a Cook button for each recipe, too, and that’s where the magic happens.
I have a slight issue with this.
as I wish that part of the app could be voice controlled.
Likewise, ingredients appear highlighted as well.
Is Food worth an Apple News Plus subscription?
Overall, I think the Food section is a great addition to Apple’s News app.
The new offering in the News Plus service recreates that for a digital age.
Yes, there are a lot of recipes and they’re presented in an engaging way.
The thing is, though, you’re not just paying $12,99 for the Food component alone.
