Set to launch in April alongside iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, this new section within the Apple News app will deliver a feast of culinary content, featuring tens of thousands of recipes, restaurant reviews, kitchen tips, and more. Sourced from top-tier food publishers like Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Good Food, and Serious Eats, Apple News+ Food aims to transform how users explore and engage with food-related journalism and recipes.
A Smorgasbord of Features
Apple News+ Food promises a rich, user-friendly experience curated by Apple’s expert editors. Subscribers will dive into a Recipe Catalog brimming with tens of thousands of recipes, updated daily with fresh additions. Whether users crave inspiration for a weeknight dinner or a gourmet weekend project, the catalog offers robust browsing, searching, and filtering options to pinpoint the perfect dish. Each recipe is presented in a visually appealing format, with ingredients and directions clearly laid out. A standout cook mode expands step-by-step instructions to full screen, making it easier than ever to follow along in the kitchen.
Beyond recipes, the section will spotlight stories on dining trends, healthy eating tips, and must-have kitchen tools. Users can save favorite recipes for quick access later—even offline—ensuring culinary inspiration is always at their fingertips. While Apple News+ Food is exclusive to subscribers, select stories and recipes will be available to non-subscribers, offering a taste of what’s in store.
Seamless Integration with Apple News
Apple News already serves millions across the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia with quality journalism from diverse publications. The addition of Apple News+ Food builds on this foundation, enriching the $12.99 monthly subscription (prices vary by region: £12.99 in the UK, $16.99 in Canada, $19.99 in Australia). For subscribers, this means access to not only food-focused content but also hundreds of premium outlets like The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, PEOPLE, The Athletic, and Rolling Stone—all within the same app.
The update aligns with Apple’s broader iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 rollout, ensuring a smooth integration across devices. Whether on an iPhone or iPad, users will enjoy a cohesive experience tailored to their culinary curiosities, backed by the trusted curation of Apple’s editorial team.
A Recipe for Success
Apple News+ Food taps into the growing appetite for digital food content, blending convenience with quality. The Recipe Catalog’s daily updates keep the offerings fresh, while the cook mode caters to hands-on users who need clarity mid-recipe. Offline access addresses a practical need for cooks in spotty Wi-Fi zones, and the inclusion of top publishers ensures a mix of trusted classics and innovative ideas.
For food enthusiasts, this update elevates Apple News+ into a one-stop hub for inspiration and information. From exploring Michelin-star restaurant reviews to mastering a new baking technique, subscribers will find a wealth of resources at their disposal starting this April.
