Top Apps For Top Chefs: Cooking With Your I Pad

Submitted by: Barbara Mae

Although both the iPhone and iPad devices come with apps which are quite useful for everyday life, it s no surprise that people have created so many cooking and cook book apps. After all, lots of folks need help a little extra help in the kitchen. The following are few of the best cooking apps that are available for the iPhone or iPad.

Epicurious

This one app has an edge over all the other cooking apps since it comes with over 25,000 recipes at the user s disposal. It also comes with a shopping list for each meal and ratings from people who have tried the meals. If you are looking for only one cooking application, then this should easily be it. There are many different recipes to choose from, which will allow much flexibility in the kitchen. This app is free, but its only downside is that the ads may become quite annoying.

Dinner spinner

This app was made by allrecipes.com and it is from this site that all the recipes on this app come from. It comes with thousands of recipes from the aforementioned website and will allow users to choose their meal, their ingredients and the amount of time they wish to spend cooking it. One bonus about this app over other cooking apps is that it will show you the ratings and comments of people who have tried the recipes. This will let people know about different variations and suggestions for the meals. There are also filters which can be used for vegetarians and other special diet restrictions which make it easier to skim through the many recipes.

Look and Taste

This is one of the cooking apps which will definitely be worth your money. It comes with a very neat and smooth interface which allows one to easily pick whatever recipe they feel like preparing. There are several recipes within this app that also come with videos on how to cook the meal. Other cooking apps that come with videos normally show only tips. There are videos on the different glossary terms as well, along with food items and tips from professional chefs. One can choose a recipe by its cooking time, its difficulty to prepare, the ingredients in it, or the main ingredient to be used. The application comes filled with all sorts of information for cooks of all levels and is quite a value for money.

Cooking Mama

This application is different from all the previously-mentioned cooking apps as it is a cooking simulation game. The game works by asking you to choose a recipe and it will make you go through each and every step to prepare that dish. You will see all the required ingredients and what you will have to do to with them in order to come up with the finished product. While it is a fun way to learn about cooking, one must remember that it is part-game and part-simulation. There are some parts of the game which have nothing to do with how to cook a meal at all and have only been added for difficulty and fun. These parts of the game are few and far between, but it does not change the fact that this is a fun way to learn how to cook.
