This app is for anyone that owns and loves a NOSH cookbook. Now you can turn the recipes from the books into a menu and shopping list in seconds. No more copying out ingredients to a scrap of paper or shopping list app, simply choose your recipes and the app does the rest. We wanted to make this app free for everyone, so there are no cooking instructions, just the ingredients. So just make sure you have your books to hand when cooking like you normally do.
