Blog #6: Recipes

Hello, this is Yu Yamanashi.

In this post, I want to introduce you my favorite cooking recipe website. It is called COOKPAD(クックパッド), and you can jump to the website by clicking here. COOKPAD is the largest recipe website in Japan, and you can search from over 1,260,000 recipes by just typing in the name of the dish you want to cook. You can also post your own original recipe on this site, which is why most of the recipes are of easy-to-make homemade dishes.
This is what the website looks like.

As you can see, the website is full of appetizing photos of dishes. One neat thing about this site is that it shows you a list of popular recipes, which were chosen by users for their quick, simple and tasty dishes. My family and I are often inspired by this recipe list when we can't decide what to make for dinner.

Do you cook at home? If you do, COOKPAD will surely make your mealtime more fun and delicious, and it will enrich the variety of dishes you can make. If you don't, summer break is the time to start! COOKPAD recipes will teach you how to make dishes of all kinds.
Please visit this website!

  1. Hi,this is Akane. I often use COOCPAD, too. I live alone, so I have to make dinner by myself. Sometimes I buy ready-made dishes, but when I cook at home, COOKPAD is really good help.

  2. Hi! Its Kaori Shimamoto! I love COOKPAD!! I love cooking and I learned how to make macaroons from this website. The variety of recipes they have is outstanding and its amusing how everybody is not a professional. Too bad the house I live in now ( my grandparents house) don't have an oven. I will definitely use this throughout my life.

  3. I have used it too, though generally I try to find an English language site - I check 2 or 3 recipes from various sites before deciding how to make the thing I want to make. And, on these sites, I just found out (or confirmed my thought) about how to dry herbs since I have some fresh coriander I want to preserve.
