Apple News+ is expanding its offerings with the launch of Apple News+ Food, a new culinary destination for recipe enthusiasts. This feature allows subscribers to seamlessly discover, save, and cook mouthwatering dishes from a curated collection of reputable publishing partners.
At launch, Apple News+ Food will feature an extensive library of recipes from renowned sources such as Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and more. The focus is solely on recipes provided by Apple News+ partners, ensuring a high-quality selection.
Upon opening the Apple News app, users will find a dedicated Food section within the Today feed. Here, they can explore a featured recipe handpicked by Apple’s editorial team, alongside food-related articles and a broader recipe collection. Access to the Food+ recipe catalog and saved recipes is also easily available.
Apple News+ Food provides a clutter-free and ad-free recipe-reading experience. Key information like ingredients, instructions, and cooking times are clearly displayed, along with a visually appealing photo of the dish. Additionally, useful features enhance the cooking process, such as the option to tap on ingredients for quick viewing and setting timers within the recipe.
While Apple News+ Food offers a comprehensive recipe database, it currently lacks the ability to import or export recipes from external sources or social media platforms.
Apple News+ Food complements the growing suite of applications offered by Apple, which include Invites, Passwords, Sports, and Journal. By utilizing its vast resources, Apple can launch new apps that don’t rely solely on a separate business model, creating potential challenges for independent developers.
To access Apple News+ Food, users will need an active Apple News+ subscription, which costs $12.99 per month in the US. This subscription grants access to over 400 magazines, newspapers, and digital publishers, providing a wide range of content beyond recipes.
