Doc Bear’s™ Comfort Kitchen
A kitchen management app that keeps track of what you have, what you are cooking, what it costs and what is in it.
Know what you actually have
Track food by location and category, scan barcodes to add items, and see what is running low before you are standing in the shop guessing.
Recipes from anywhere
Import a recipe from a video or a link and get it as structured ingredients and steps, not a wall of text you have to retype.
Plan the week, then shop for it
Build a meal plan, turn it into a shopping list, and have the list know what is already in your kitchen.
Nutrition that is actually calculated
Per-serving figures across 33 nutrients, looked up ingredient by ingredient against USDA FoodData Central rather than estimated in one go.
Costing and price history
See what a recipe costs to make, track prices across the shops you use, and find where the savings actually are.
Built on a real cookbook
The recipe library starts from the Doc Bear’s Comfort Food Survival Guide series, over 650 recipes written and tested long before any of this was an app.
Who builds this
Doc Bear’s Comfort Kitchen is built by Dr. Edward G. McKeown, a Marine Corps veteran with a Ph.D. in hospitality and tourism management and thirty years in hospitality, food safety and teaching. It is published by Doc Bear Enterprises, LLC in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The recipe library comes from his own cookbook series rather than from a scrape of the internet, which is why the measurements behave like a cook wrote them.
