Question 1

How does Cookt work?

Accepted Answer

Cookt is a digital store that sells interactive cookbooks for you to buy, download and access online. Built for cookbook lovers the world over, our mission is to make it easy to find & access your favourite cookbooks anywhere, anytime.

We've partnered with a tonne of the world's best publishers to bring you the best cookbooks, in all-new interactive format.

So what makes an Interactive cookbook different to an eBook?

Here are the main differences:

Access your cookbooks from anywhere. Cookbooks you buy are automatically saved to your secure online account. If you have an internet connection and access to Cookt, then you have access to your cookbooks.
Customise serving sizes. Does the recipe serve 4 but you're only cooking for 2? Cookt allows you to scale any recipe to whatever size you want by automatically updating the measurements in just the tap of a button.
Add notes to your recipe pages. Does a recipe taste better with extra chilli, or extra cooking time? Remind yourself for next time by adding a note directly onto the recipe page.
Start timers from the recipe page. Yes that's right. Cookt's handy cook-along mode makes it easier & faster to cook with easy-follow instructions, built-in timers and in step-quantities for seamless, stress-free cooking. It's been proven to help you cook up to 40% faster compared to traditional reading. It even reads the instructions out loud, and is voice-activated too (voice-activation only available

Question 3

I purchased a cookbook but I can't see it in my library

Accepted Answer

You can find purchased books in your library here

Sometimes a book may not show up in your library straight away. When this happens you just need to refresh the webpage, or clear the cache. To do this:

Refresh the webpage: First go to your library here. Now you can either swipe down from the top of the browser, or hit the refresh button also at the top of your browser - this will refresh the page and now your book should be visable.

If the above doesn't resolve the problem, then you may need to 'clear the cache'.

Clearing the cache: (Using Chrome) To do this, go to your browser settings, and hit the 3 dots in the top right hand corner and click 'Settings' > 'Privacy & security' > 'Clear browsing data'. Make sure the tick box for 'Cached images & files' is selected then hit 'Clear data'. Once this is done. Go to your library in Cookt here and your book should now be available. Note you may need to log back in.

(using Safari) Go to Settings > Safari, and tap Clear History and Website Data. Once this is done. Go to your library in Cookt here and your book should now be available. Note you may need to log back in.
