The French alternative to Whisk
Same promise, your videos become recipes, but made in France, billed in euros, and less than half the yearly price of Samsung Food+.
Whisk no longer exists under that name. Samsung bought it in 2019 and renamed it Samsung Food in late August 2023. The idea is still the same, importing recipes from a video or a website, but the app is now part of the Samsung ecosystem, with a Food+ subscription for the AI features.
Zeste does the same job, with a team you can reach by email in Maine-et-Loire, France, and data hosted by OVH in Roubaix. The Pro subscription costs €4.99/month or €29.99/year, with no commitment.
What Zeste does for you

- Interface in your language, support from a team in France
