About the New Kosher.com

What's New?

Questions about the new features on the site

Welcome to the new Kosher.com! We rebuilt the site to make it easier to find inspiration, choose what to cook, and turn individual recipes into meals your family will look forward to.

What’s new on Kosher.com?

A lot! The new Kosher.com that launched on September 6, 2026 was designed to make cooking and planning feel easier, more useful, and more enjoyable.

Some of the new features include:

  • A redesigned recipe page that lets you see more of the recipe at once
  • A recipe timer, with music to keep you company while you cook
  • A place to ask questions directly from the recipe page
  • Better search that understands everyday questions and phrases
  • Folders for organizing your favorite recipes, one of our most requested features
  • A new Menus section for complete meal inspiration
  • A Menu Builder that helps you plan your own weeknight, Shabbos, or Yom Tov menus

We hope the new site helps you spend less time wondering what to make and more time enjoying the people you are making it for.

Why did Kosher.com redesign the website?

The way people use Kosher.com has grown and changed. You told us that you wanted faster ways to find the right recipe, better tools for staying organized, and more help putting complete meals together.

We used years of feedback, along with responses from nearly 1,000 Kosher.com users, to create a site that supports the whole experience of feeding the people you love, from the first “What should I make?” to the finished meal on the table.

How does the new search work?

You can search the way you naturally think.

Try searches like:

  • Easy chicken dinner without garlic
  • Dairy dessert for a crowd
  • Quick side dish for Shabbos
  • What can I make with ground beef and zucchini?
  • Rosh Hashanah recipes I can freeze

You do not need to know the exact recipe name or choose the perfect category. Tell us what you are looking for, what ingredients you have, or what kind of meal you need.

 

We still have all our old filters (now located in the left sidebar) if you want more precise results, plus more ways to sort and filter the results.

Why does the recipe page look different?

The new recipe page was designed to help you cook without constantly scrolling up and down.

More of the ingredients and instructions are visible at the same time, and important actions such as saving, printing, adding a recipe to a menu, or asking a question are easier to find.

How do I use the recipe timer and music?

When a recipe includes a timed step, you can start a timer from the recipe page. You can also choose which sound should ring, including some fun songs and Jewish music, to make your cooking experience more enjoyable.

How do I ask a question about a recipe?

For quick answers, use the question box on the recipe page to ask about that specific recipe.

You might ask about a substitution, an unfamiliar technique, how far in advance you can prepare something, or whether an ingredient can be left out. Please remember that answers are meant to be helpful guidance and may not account for every dietary, allergy, or kashrut concern.

For an answer from Kosher.com staff or the recipe author, leave a question in the reviews section and check the box “mark this as a question”. You can also try our Contact page.

Use folders to organize recipes in whatever way works for you, such as:

On the recipe page, click the favorites button and you will get a list of your folders. Check the boxes of the ones you want to add it to. On the favorites page itself, you can drag and drop recipes into folders in the left sidebar.

This was one of the features Kosher.com users requested most, and we are very happy to finally bring it to you.
