Updated: Mar 20, 2019

In a collaboration with Weldon Owen Publishing, SAN FRANCISCO, /PRNewswire/ — Williams-Sonoma division of Bonnier Corporation, and Culinate, Inc.




It’s that time of year when the majority of activity centers around the kitchen: holiday dining, planning, sumptuous recipes, and where family and friends gather. That may be a full-service sit down dinner, or a simple Appetizer table. Whatever the choice, the Williams-Sonoma Recipe of the Day app on Apple’s App Store, delivers a seasonally appropriate recipe every day of the year. That includes a selection of Williams-Sonoma’s starters, salads, sides, soups, main dishes, and desserts. Williams-Sonoma Recipe of the Dayapp on Apple’s App Store: Recipe a Day App

The app’s built-in search tools allow users to filter recipes based on course, season, technique, ingredient, or dietary preference (vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free). A recently released iPad version of the application has been consistently featured by Apple as a “Best New App” and it has remained in the top ten of most popular applications in the Food & Drink category.

The William-Sonoma Recipe of the Day app’s highlights include:

-Recipe inspiration for every day of the year

-An easy-to-use search function allowing users to narrow searches by key ingredient, type of dish, cooking technique, and more

-Simple-to-use, smart shopping lists

-Color photographs

-Custom timers

-A favorites feature that keeps track of your favorite recipes

-All-inclusive functionality; no internet connection required (except for occasional subscription content updates)


Williams-Sonoma Recipe of the Day offers monthly or annual subscriptions. The base app, which is free to download from the App Store, includes a month’s worth of recipes to give a sampling of what is available for subscribers. The recipes are organized using convenient calendar layouts that allow users to find the most recent recipes as well as browse previous recipes. Recipe of the Day aims to become the go-to app for home cooks seeking an answer to the perennial question, “What’s for dinner tonight?”

Culinate, developers specializing in cooking apps, partnered with Weldon Owen to bring Williams-Sonoma’s long history in cookbooks into the digital space. Williams-Sonoma President, Janet Hayes remarked, “Chuck Williams, our founder, contributed to more than 100 cookbooks over the last three decades, and our new app will help share his passion and knowledge of cooking with a new generation of Williams-Sonoma fans.” Jennifer Newens, associate publisher of Weldon Owen adds, “The first Williams-Sonoma branded recipe app, Recipe of the Day, will not only resonate with readers familiar with the Williams-Sonoma branded cookbooks, but also with a new, digital-savvy audience who has yet to discover Williams-Sonoma recipes.”
