About CookingLab
What shall we cook today?
CookingLab is an app for Korean home cooking — the everyday dishes Korean families actually make. It does two things most recipe apps leave out: it tells you what a dish will cost, and what you are actually eating.
WHAT WILL IT COST
Every recipe carries the price of its ingredients, worked out from current Korean market prices. Open the breakdown and you can see what each ingredient adds — so you know before you shop, not after you have paid.
WHAT AM I EATING
Up to 17 nutrients per recipe: calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat, sodium, sugars, saturated and trans fat, cholesterol, fibre, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C and D.
Each one is shown against a daily reference, so a number means something. Sign in with your age and sex and the reference adjusts to you.
Where the data is genuinely missing, we say so rather than filling the gap with a zero. An unknown and a nothing are not the same thing.
COOK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
Search by dish name or by ingredient. Type what is already in the fridge and see what it can become.
WRITE YOUR OWN
Post a recipe with photos and properly formatted steps. Save it as a draft, finish it later, publish when it is ready. Every recipe you post earns points and moves you up the cook rankings.
You can also build on what other cooks have posted and end up with something better than either.
TAKE IT TO THE KITCHEN
Save any recipe as a PDF — ingredients, costs, full nutrition and every step — and cook from it on paper or on your phone with no signal at all.
ALSO IN THE APP
· More than a thousand free recipes, from the public dataset published by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety
· Korean and English throughout, switched automatically
· Keep favourites in your own collection
· A recipe picked for you each day, and cooking tips worth knowing
· Free to use
Recipes are on the web too, at cookinglab.app
