FAQ

Good questions

Completely free to download and use. No subscription, no paywall, no hidden costs. Every recipe, every feature. All free.

15+ cuisines from around the world: Ethiopian, Turkish, Jamaican, Japanese, Mexican, Brazilian, Sri Lankan, Nigerian, Italian, British, Caribbean, and more. We're adding new cuisines regularly.

Not at all. Every recipe is broken into simple steps that anyone can follow. We explain the why behind each step, not just the what, so you genuinely learn as you cook. Perfect for beginners.

Cook mode is the heart of the app. Each step takes over your full screen so you're never squinting at a long recipe list. Swipe to the next step at your own pace. Built-in timers remind you when to move on. The app keeps your screen awake so it doesn't lock mid-cook, so no unlocking your phone with messy hands.

Yes. Tap the serving size on any recipe and every ingredient quantity updates instantly. Scale up for a dinner party or down for one person.

Add any recipe to your shopping list and the app builds it automatically. Ingredients are grouped by supermarket section, quantities are merged if you add multiple recipes, and pantry staples are highlighted so you can skip what you already have.

Justina is our AI cooking assistant built right into cook mode. If you're not sure whether your sauce looks right, or if you want to substitute an ingredient, just ask. She knows exactly which recipe and step you're on and gives instant, context-aware answers.

Justina's Kitchen is available on iOS and Android.

Once you've loaded a recipe, the steps and instructions are available offline. The Ask Justina AI assistant requires an internet connection.

Justina is the mum of the person who built this app. She was the kind of cook who made everyone feel at home around food. She taught that cooking is one of the most important ways you take care of yourself and the people you love. This app is built in her spirit.
