What's New in Forkato

Search the community feed by name and filter by cuisine on Android, plus a new "In season now" row of recipes built around what is fresh this month.

Add what an item actually cost and your shopping list starts showing a running total. Prices are shared anonymously so everyone gets better estimates.

Household members with a teen or child role can request groceries from the app, and adults approve or decline them right on the shopping list.

Tap the plus and minus buttons next to SERVES on any recipe screen on Alexa to scale ingredient amounts up or down. The ingredients panel during cook mode follows the same number, and switching to a different recipe resets it.
