Integrate with Smart Kitchen Devices
The single best cooking lessons app in 2024 is SideChef.
But not for the reasons you might think.
It’s not just the interactive recipes or the voice-guided instructions that set it apart. The real game-changer is the way it integrates with your smart kitchen devices, making cooking an effortless, orchestrated experience.
Picture this: your oven preheats itself, your groceries are auto-ordered based on what you cook most, and the app scales recipes based on your ingredients on hand, eliminating waste.
More than just teaching cooking
it turns your kitchen into an intuitive, automated space, which is perfect for most of us who are often busy with the day-to-day grind but still want home-cooked meals.

MasterClass: Learn from Renowned Chefs
In 2024, MasterClass stands out as the best app for mastering culinary skills. With lessons from world-renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Alice Waters, the app offers a range of cooking techniques, from beginner basics to advanced recipes. I personally found the step-by-step video tutorials easy to follow, and the ability to pause and rewatch segments allowed me to perfect my skills at my own pace. What sets MasterClass apart is its depth—chefs not only teach how to cook but also explain why certain techniques are used. Whether you’re an aspiring home cook or looking to refine your expertise, MasterClass provides an immersive, professional-level experience.

Yummly: Personalised Recipe Recommendations
Yummly has been one of the top apps for enhancing cooking techniques for me for years. Of all the recipe apps, I especially like Yummly because I find it easy to use, whether it is the first time or until now using the app. It stands out because it provides recommended recipes for users according to their likes and dislikes. A feature that I found particularly useful was the “pantry-ready” option, where you can set your filters only to show recipes that can be made with ingredients you already have at home
Yummly also provides unique and comprehensive video recipes, recipe instructions in slides, and one-click meal planning and repetition features. The presence of hands-free voice control allows me to navigate through recipes without messing with my phone during cooking.
Not only does Yummly provide a progressive personal recipe box for those who want to build on culinary skills and make meal planning easier for those who would prefer it, but it does so by packaging every single aspect that a food enthusiast or entry-level cook could want in one neat package.
