Same day delivery of ingredients via Amazon Fresh for 120,000+ recipes on ckbk

At ckbk, we want to encourage users to try out new recipes, and that means helping to make it easy to source the ingredients. We already offer grocery delivery via Instacart for ckbk users in the US, and we are now pleased to broaden our grocery delivery options, with the introduction of same day delivery from Amazon Fresh for ckbk users in the US, UK and Japan.

How does it work?

When you are on any recipe on the ckbk website or in the ckbk app, just click the button at the bottom of the ingredient list to get those ingredients from Amazon Fresh.

If you are in a supported country (US/UK/Japan), you will see the Amazon Fresh button at the bottom of the ingredient list

The button will take you to the Amazon Fresh website in your country.

On the Amazon Fresh website, you can change quantities, remove items, or swap items for alternative choices.

Once you have selected the items you need, you can add them to your Amazon Fresh basket. You can add multipe recipes-worth of ingredients to your basket before placing an order. You can also add additional items to your shopping list via the website, or via Alexa’s shopping list feature.
