Apple’s New Food Feature It’s Like a Recipe‑On‑Demand Hack
Apple has quietly rolled out its foodie companion, Apple News+ Food, blending the culinary wisdom of Allrecipes, Good Food, and a bunch of other global publishers. The beta is already live for developers, but regular users will get the full experience when the final update drops.
How the “Cook” Mode Works
- Pick a dish – Browse the vast library of curated recipes.
- Step‑by‑step guidance – The screen fills with handy ingredient lists and cooking instructions, just like Apple Music shows you lyrics.
- Hands‑free cooking – No more flipping through a cookbook; everything is on your iPhone or iPad.
News+ Augments Its Offer
Apple News+—the subscription that first launched in 2019—already gives subscribers seamless access to news and feature articles. Now, it’s expanding its pantry with recipes, and a handful of cooking stories are free to anyone who wants them. Even if you’re not a subscriber, you’ll be able to snag a few recipes, so you can sample the taste before you dive deeper.
What to Expect in the Upcoming Release
Apple is targeting an April release for the official launch. Once it hits the market, you’ll get the full Apple News+ Food experience: a dedicated channel for culinary delights, integrated within the News+ subscription, all baked into the newest iOS 18.4 update.
So next time you need a quick menu idea, just tap “Cook” on Apple News+ and let the phone guide you through your next delicious adventure. Happy cooking!
Apple’s Foodie Edition Finally Hits the UK and US
Beta‑Testing in the Back‑Alley
Apple has quietly opened the Apple News+ Food beta to users in the UK and the US. Though it’s tempting to believe it’s a global launch, Apple hasn’t confirmed plans to drop the culinary feature in other regions yet.
What’s on the Menu?
- Step‑by‑step how‑to recipes.
- In‑depth food‑ie reviews from top waitstaff.
- Smart kitchen hacks that let Apple suggest the next dish.
Why the Delay?
Apple’s experts say they’re “making sure the servers can handle the cook‑out download traffic.” That’s one long way to keep a soft launch mamma‑mia sight‑seeing safe. In the meantime, hungry readers can’t yet slap their Apple Watches with portions of Australian barbecue or French pastries.
Hot Headlines About the Beta
“Apple charges extra whisk‑for‑the‑over‑taste?” — a tongue‑in‑cheek rumor in the tech community.
Will It Arrive Everywhere?
Getting a word from Apple’s statement team: “We are watching the belt of launch, but green‑languish isn’t guaranteed for all continents.” There’s hope… and a pinch of anxiety.
