Rouxbarb: Cooking Assistant

Discover, cook, create, and support the creators who feed your curiosity. Free to use. No ads. Ever.

What if your entire social feed was food? We built that. No ads. No algorithms selling your attention. Just food. Rouxbarb is where food lovers finally have a home.

Whatever your obsession — cooking, eating, drinking, sharing — this is where it belongs, and where the people who chase it are finally building something together. Discover recipes, experiences, techniques, and inspiration that take you deeper into the food you love. From weeknight recipes to creative rabbit holes you didn't see coming. Pull up a chair.

FROM DISCOVERY TO DINNER. A feed built for food lovers — stunning recipes from creators who actually cook. Follow the ones who feed your curiosity, browse their full Table, and cook what you find without leaving the app.

COOK LIKE YOU MEAN IT. Cook Mode walks you through every recipe step-by-step — ingredients highlighted, quick-tap timers, screen always on. Take Cook Mode even further and enable our conversational Kitchen Assistant to go fully hands-free. Say "Hey Rouxbarb" to ask about ingredients, read a step out loud, manage timers, convert a measurement, or get nutritional information. The Kitchen Assistant can handle just about anything — except washing dishes. That's on you.

NO RECIPE LEFT BEHIND. See something you love online or hand-written in your grandma's recipe box? Rouxbarb can pull any recipe from a photo or block of text, automatically translate from 70+ languages, and save to your collection in seconds. Friction-free, from the shoebox to your Table.

SHOP AND COOK TOGETHER. Add ingredients from any recipe to a shared Shopping List in one tap. Invite a partner, a housemate, a friend — the list stays in sync in real time, right down to which aisle the oat milk is in. Too many cooks? Not here.

SHARE YOUR FOOD MOMENTS. Post Experiences — food photography with music, location, your story, and a rating. Tag friends, spark a conversation, and build a community around the way you eat. Every experience adds to the feast.

SUPPORT THE CREATORS WHO FEED YOU. Their recipes are the secret sauce — and creators worth their salt deserve real dough. Tip after a great recipe. Subscribe to a creator's Table for full access to their premium content. Pay on your terms — no platform subscription, no bundle. Just a direct relationship between you and the creators you love.

SIMPLE TO SIGN UP. FREE TO USE. No lengthy onboarding flow that hits you with a paywall before the appetizer. Just download the app and create an account. That's it! Start exploring, building your recipe library, sharing experiences, and cooking.

YOUR DATA ISN'T ON THE MENU. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. No sharing or selling your data. No tracking. No ads. Just food. Seriously.
