Read full description

HalfSheet keeps a professional kitchen's recipes in one place, on your iPhone and iPad. Type an ingredient line the way you'd write it on a prep sheet, like "500 g flour", and HalfSheet reads the amount, the unit, and the ingredient, and links it to your library. Suggestions come from your own ingredients and recipes as you type. Use one recipe inside another as a sub-recipe and open it at the batch the parent calls for. Scale any recipe by batch size or by target yield. Keep your ingredients organized with their preparations and conversions, and see every recipe that uses them. Sort recipes into categories, find anything with search, and recover what you delete from Recently Deleted. Your library stays private. HalfSheet has no account and no server. Your recipes sync between your devices through your own iCloud. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
