Miss en Place Perfection!

Every recipe has a visual layout of all the ingredients, as they’ve been chopped, peeled, juiced, puréed etc. This is a MASSIVE help! To the developer, please produced more of these, aimed at different cuisines!

LLLOOOONNNGGGG time favorite

I remember when the Photo Cookbook apps were all individual apps. It was a great idea to fold all of the cookbooks into one “umbrella” app and allow us to chose with cookbooks we wanted to add to the collection. When the developers did this I had already purchased very cookbook because each one is amazing in its detailed photographic and written (step by step) instructions. This app, or rather these apps have been my absolute favors from their launch — it’s a collection of cookbooks that have e never left my iPhone or my iPad.

Universal Search

It’s inconvenient to search through recipes, by having the change books, it would be cool to search say “chicken” and have it filter through all books.
