A year on from launch, the Guardian’s cooking and recipe app, Feast has firmly established itself as a daily kitchen essential for home cooks worldwide
To celebrate one year of the Feast app, the news brand has compiled some of the best stats that reveal how users have been cooking their way through its delicious recipe collection.
Over the last year alone, users have rustled up recipes with almost 200,000 eggs, 43,000 aubergines and an incredible 12 tonnes of flour, as they set about exploring the 6,000 plus carefully curated recipes now available in the app from 150 chefs.
With around 100 new recipes added each month, it’s no surprise that 76% of Feast users turn to the app for cooking inspiration and to explore new cuisine. For busy weeknights, 38% rely on Feast to help plan simple, quick and healthy weeknight meals including one-pot dishes and tray bakes.
As Feast enters its second year, one of the most requested features, personalised collections, will soon allow users to organise their favourite recipes within the ‘My Feast’ tab by theme, cuisine and occasion. Another new feature will help with shopping lists, making life easier by gathering ingredients from multiple recipes into one single digital list for either in-store or online shopping.
Tim Lusher, head of food, Guardian News & Media, says: “I have loved learning how people have been using Feast over the last year. Everyday we are adding new dishes to the app to suit every taste. Whether it’s discovering new global cuisines, planning easy weeknight dishes or revisiting Guardian recipe favourites, our aim has always been to inspire confidence and creativity at home and we’re just getting started.”
