About AtoCook

Why AtoCook began

AtoCook started as a personal project after its founder completed a software-development course.

The idea came from an everyday frustration: cooking one meal could involve searching social media, scrolling past unrelated content, saving a video, replaying it to write down ingredients, shopping, and finding the video again to follow the instructions. Sometimes the search became a distraction. The following week, much of the process started again.

An interest in fitness and food tracking added another question: how could someone understand a recipe’s ingredients, servings and available nutrition information while deciding what to cook?

The founder began building a tool for personal use that connected these steps. Conversations with family and friends revealed that others also found it difficult to organize recipes, decide what to eat, shop efficiently and keep track of meals.

That personal project grew into AtoCook: an app designed to help people move from finding a recipe to planning, shopping, cooking and recording what they eat.

View and review nutrition information

Recipes with available nutrition information can show calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and fiber per serving.

Where nutrition-estimation tools are available, creators can request an estimate, review the result and edit nutrition information before saving. Estimates may be incomplete or unavailable when sufficient information is missing.

Plan meals and reuse your weekly routine

Organize meals across your week. Where supported in your app version, set meals to repeat on selected weekdays and reuse your usual routine. Change an individual date or future occurrences when your plans change.

Record what you actually eat

Use What you ate to record food and portions and view recorded calorie and nutrient totals. Explore day, week, month and year summaries, with personal-target comparisons when the required information is available.

Planned meals and recorded intake serve different purposes: a plan describes what you intend to eat; your intake records what you confirm eating.

Organize pantry ingredients and shopping

Keep track of ingredients you already have and use the supported pantry-checking tools. Add recipe ingredients to shopping lists to help prepare for your next meals.

Share your cooking and build a creator profile

Creators can share recipes, videos and food blogs, build a public profile and gain followers. Home cooks can follow their work and discover more cooking ideas from the community.

Built around everyday cooking

AtoCook’s purpose is to make useful recipes easier to return to, meal routines easier to maintain, and food information easier to understand.

It is for people learning to cook, busy people organizing meals, home cooks preserving their own recipes, and creators sharing their food and experience.

Feature availability can vary by platform, app version and eligibility.
