Bait and switch

I bought this years ago, haven’t used it for a while, and now I can’t access recipes I used to have access to without having to pay for new “bundles”. Guess I’ll have to stick to the paper version.

Beware - always asking you to pay more

I have long used the SA cookbook but am really annoyed that every time I search for a recipe in this app, I am asked to pay more to access that part of the recipe collection. A big thumbs down from me. Just be transparent about the actual cost of the recipe collection from the outset.

Only cookbook you will ever need

Don’t waste your time and money on subscription stuff, invest in this and use happily for life.

The best cook book you can’t and wont have to do without.

Owning the print version of Stephanie's Cook’s Companion has always right of passage in becoming, dare I say, a competent or better and interesting cook. Now in electronic form, it saves a great deal of physical energy lugging it around and, in keeping with Stephanie Alexander’s long established ethics, we know we can be assured it will kept viable as operating systems change. The recent outage with iOS 12 was rectified quickly and all is well. You can’t say the same for certain celebrity chefs who simply abandon their old to apps to churn out new money spinners for the naive. Enjoy Stephanie’s help and don’t leave home without it.

All fixed!

If I could only have one cookbook, this would have to be it. For years I have relied on Stephanie’s encyclopaedic book, both the original and the updated edition. I was so pleased when I was able to purchase the app for my iPad, with all the convenient extra bells and whistles and none of the physical weight. I am even more pleased now that the recent mega bug has been rectified!
