What is Samsung Food?
Samsung Food is a recipe saver and meal planner that imports recipes from any site and builds AI meal plans and shopping lists for home cooks. It grew out of Whisk, a UK food app Samsung acquired in 2019, and was relaunched under the Samsung Food name in 2023. It works on iOS, Android and the web, not only on Samsung phones, and its iOS app holds a 4.8 rating.
The core free app lets you save recipes from blogs and social media into one library, plan meals on a calendar and turn them into a combined grocery list. The paid Food+ tier adds the AI layer: personalized weekly meal plans based on your tastes, diet and health goals, nutrition tracking, recipe customization, and Vision AI that identifies ingredients from a photo and suggests what to cook. Owners of Samsung smart ovens and fridges can also send recipe settings to their appliances.
