Great iPad Cookbook App

This is a great, well thought out iPad cookbook App. It contains step-by-step instructions for every recipe including photographs for each stage so you know exactly what the author is saying. This App also has photos of the equipment you will need for every step of the way, so no more searching for definitions of what the equipment is. Wonderful!

The recipes all look mouth-watering and there is a nice assortment between entrees, desserts and appetizers.

I'm giving it 4 stars as an incentive to the creator for some more goodies.

1) More recipes (Keep them coming!)
2) Ability to make notes for things like variations on the recipes
3) Ability to make text larger by using the finger pinch method (Some areas are hard to read if you're over 50 ::>))

Highly recommend this app for all cooks out there!

Clean interface and great for learning to cook

This is a beautifully designed app. Step by step photographs for each step in the recipe really helped a lot and helped me cook a great dinner to impress my friends and family. Thanks.

Takes the worry out of cooking

I'm relieved that I don't have to read lots of text while standing in my kitchen with my ingredients everywhere and my patience running out. This app lets me see what I need to have out and ready. In the past there has been one ingredient that I just missed from reading too quickly. The visuals make it easy. Highly recommended.

Best cooking app ever!

Definitely exceeds expectations. Worth a lot more than $4.99. This is the way cooking apps should be done. You are never going to want to use any other cooking app again. As someone that designs iPad apps, I would say that this is a good candidate for learning about visual design in general, beyond just the fact that it is a great app for cooking. I have been cooking for a long time (not professional, just hobby) and I still come across ingredients that I am a little unsure about or a prep style that I need more info on. This app addresses all those issues and presents all in an easy step-by-step manner that is so far beyond any other app I've seen in this category.

Two of my favorite features:
All of the images have pinch to zoom
You can double click on the recipe or any of the individual steps for each recipe from the main screen and it goes into a step by step, screen by screen version with much more detail and more pictures.
