-This example app gathers recipes from
-the [RNTL Cookbook](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/cookbook).
+# React Native Testing Library Cookbook App
+Welcome to the React Native Testing Library (RNTL) Cookbook! This app is designed to provide developers with a collection of best practices, ready-made recipes, and tips & tricks to help you effectively test your React Native applications. Whether you’re just starting out with testing or looking to deepen your skills, this cookbook offers something for everyone.
 
 Each recipe described in the Cookbook should have a corresponding code example screen in this repo.
 
 Note:
 Since examples will showcase usage of different dependencies, the dependencies in `package.json`
 file will grow much larger that in a normal React Native. This is fine 🐶☕️🔥.
