FAQs

How are CookShelf and Eat Your Books related?

CookShelf and Eat Your Books are part of the same company, and if you sign up for a membership with either one, you access to both. CookShelf is the name of the iOS and Android app, while Eat Your Books is the name of the website.

Do I need to prove I own the cookbooks I add to my library?

No, you don’t! That’s because CookShelf doesn’t display copyrighted information, like the actual recipe method. We believe in using our books in the kitchen — cookbooks are meant to get splattered with olive in a way phones really aren’t! — and so in the CookShelf app, you can find the page number of the recipe alongside its ingredients list.
