Want Recipes? There’s an App and CODS for that Too!
The free, advertiser-supported app includes formulas from a variety Condé Nast publications Bon Appétit, Gourmet, SELF, Cookie, Parade and other references. You can browse by main constituent, dish type, dietary conditions, occasion, or search by keyword. Re-orienting the iPhone to panoramic mode shifts the formula to an easy-to-read list of elements and instructions.
You might not want to download iPhone Apps much in the kitchen (water, heat, hard tile floors), but there’s a fresh understanding to risk disaster now: a new app from (sister site) Epicurious that makes available some 25,000 recipes and a nifty toggle between a shopping and a cookery format that shows one instruction step at a time.And, there are pictures so you can see just how much practice you need to get, say, a Mile-High Chocolate Cake with Buttercream to look like the one made in some professional Condé kitchen.The app is one of about 30 or so food and drink applications available in the iTunes store and as a Blackberry CODS download.
Navigation is intuitive, and it’s one click to email or favorite a recipe, or add it to a database which sifts out (sorry) the elements into a touch-screen check list. When you exit and return to the app it puts you back where you left off so you won’t get to make a tough option between taking a call or remembering how many minutes to stir the sauce.
