Meet your cooking guides
Everything you need to cook, learn and explore
Cooktour brings together interactive guidance, storytelling and planning tools so you can move from what should I make to dinner is served without juggling five apps and three open tabs.
Voice guided cooking
Talk to your cooking guide through your phone or smart speaker. Ask it to repeat a step, convert measurements, set a timer or jump ahead to the next phase while you keep chopping, stirring or kneading.
Chat with your guide
Type quick questions when you are near a screen. Ask for substitutions, cooking time checks, leftover ideas or help when something does not look quite right and get answers tuned to the tour you are on.
Courses and paths
Follow structured paths that group tours by skill level or theme, such as Knife skills starter, Bread basics or Comfort food from around the world. Progress tracking and gentle reminders help you keep going.
Cultural stories and context
Learn about ingredients, traditions and local customs behind each dish, so you know why it is made a certain way and how people enjoy it in its original home.
Smart meal planning
Turn your favorite tours into simple plans for the week with automatically generated timelines and prep suggestions, so you can combine quick weeknight dishes with deeper weekend projects.
Smart shopping lists
Build grocery lists from one or several tours, automatically grouped by store section. Check off what you already have and let Cooktour adjust quantities so you do not overbuy.
